bee thousand

i wish i could have frozen this band in time when they were in high school, because nothing they did after this record was the same. i love the energy of the room where the band is playing in this video, the cheesy acting bits and everything about the song itself, which i still listen to at top volume with the windows rolled down in my car. this song reminds me of the year 2000, of being sixteen and in high school and working my first job at bennigan’s, of buying this album on the recommendation of some dude i had a crush on whose name i don’t even remember, of volume cd exchange and hoodies and driving around in my old car. i love that this song, which is about a kid at college who misses his mom, still strikes a chord with me after all these years.
