Song Post #6: a song that reminds you of somewhere. "Title and Registration" by Death Cab for Cutie.
There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all
And here i rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night
This song reminds me of an old house usually filled with college boys, but on a certain Valentine's Day occupied only by one. Just he and I, staving off loneliness with UNO and music. We talked for hours, drifting off in between conversations. The day turned into night, and hands found hands, mouths found mouths...
This song had to have played 3 or four times throughout the day, and it will always be able to take me back to that day...the kind of day that would never work if it were planned. We had no clue at the time that the song would ultimately tell our story quite well.
Death Cab has a gift for creating an atmosphere of both reminisce and finality, which is an accurate way to describe my feelings on what happened at that house. Lines were crossed, memories made, but I'm fine with them remaining just that... Memories. It's nice to visit once in a while. I just don't want to stay there.
