| Alphabeat - 2008 |
In the past week I have found a new love for, what I call, 'old' music, in the past week I have also had my first A level of the year, and in the next week, I will be having my last day of school. In this past week I have found that I didn't know some of my friends as well as I thought that I did. The guys who Id assumed weren't the emotional type have been crying down the phone to me, and my girl friends, who I had down for being big on the tears in their last few weeks of school have shown no sign of sadness. To me 'old' music isn't old at all, but all those tracks that people used to play in the back of the bus on the way to a year 8 school trip, the ones that when being played from someones phone, just audible over the din of screaming children, there would always be someone to shout 'TUUNNEEEE' at the top of their lungs. This would then progress into a group of tuneless 13 year olds shouting random words to what they believed to be the correct tune. These songs, to me, will always be timeless classics. To anyone sane, they will just be the crap that kids use to play when they thought they were cool.
Kelly Clarkson - Since you've been gone.
Not only was this number one in 2005, but also is still one of my favorite songs. Don't judge me! Its not the song itself, but the memories that I associate with it.
I have had enough of my nostalgia for now and will briefly explain why I named this post what I named it. I think the 'week of goodbyes' is pretty much already explained. But the lifetime of hellos, thats just how I feel at the moment. Like life has so many opportunities, whats the point about being sad because of leaving a school that you didn't want to be at in the first place, or leaving friends for a short time. In the end things always change and there will be other friends to laugh and sing with, and other places to be educated at, other 'teachers' to hate and other opportunities that you should have taken but never did.
For now it may mean a goodbye, but soon the hellos will arrive.
