Still Cringe-worthy
I was out shopping someplace (I forget where), but they were playing music in the background. Then Fireflies by Owl City started to play, and I immediately cringe. It was like a subconscious, involuntary reflex, that I couldn’t NOT do. All because of a one week trip to Washington DC in the summer of 2009. We stayed with Haile’s cousin, Mark, and every time we got in his car to go anywhere, he’d play this damn song first. Every. Single. Time. By the end of our first day there, we were SOOO over that song. And he’d play songs from other bands that sounded like it, like Nickasaur and Swimming with Dolphins. But that damn Owl City song…..to this day, 4 years later, I still hate with a passion. Thanks, Mark.
