It's a good thing I found the "liner notes" last week, as otherwise I might have mis-remembered the significance of track number 8 of 39 in this ongoing presentation of songs from an actual mix tape from my college years.
But since I *did* find them, then I *do* know that the reason "There are Giants in the Sky" from the musical-soon-to-be-a-movie "Into the Woods" occupies this spot on the soundtrack of our lives from that timeframe is because I apparently sang it one night in front of our LVC group when we had snuck in to Memorial Lake (if there's not a time limit for trespassing charges, then add the word "allegedly" before the word "snuck" in the last statement).
Lake acoustics do wonders for songs like these ... and college years "finding yourself", when your personality is bridging the gap between the known past and the unknown future, are perfectly summed up in the sentiment of this song:
And you think of all of the things you've seen,
And you wish that you could live in between,
And you're back again,
Only different than before ...
After the sky!
BIG TALL TERRIBLE AWESOME SCARY WONDERFUL GIANTS IN THE SKY:
