Isn't it strange how music can bring back memories in an instant second? A certain sound make all the memories come back as if they never left. Some music makes me feel extremly good but there are some tunes that I will never be able to listen to again without feeling a big black hole in my heart. Music that changed my life, or rather episodes that changed my life and the soundtrack that went with it.
The other day we played som tracks from the past, White Zombie "More Human Than Human", Ministry "Thieves", Nine Inch Nails "Terrible Lie" and Sepultura "Refuse/Resist" - all soundtracks to my days at the Teesside University in Middlesbrough. I used to hang at the Orgasmatron Club every Thursday and it was just a blast. I'd be on the tiny dancefloor headbanging for hours and hours. Oh how easy life was then. It's been 10 years now. Everything was crazy, but in such a easygoing way. Life was filled with teenage dramas (I was living with kids, several years younger than myself as I entered the Uni as a freshman instead of post-grad as I was)... Every week there was broken hearts, failed classes, parent-stuff, suicideattempts and of course too much booze. This was when I learned to drink vermoth & lemonade, which I drank on the weekdays. Thursday - Saturday it was Snakebites or occacsionally Jack & coke. And during the exams we stuck with the cheapest vodka and coke. When I came back home to Sweden I was totally alcoholic. Thank god I couldn't afford keep drinking like that when I came home!!
I remember the guys in my house with a smile on my face, I wonder what they're doing now. What happened to their dreams.
Did they stay together with their sweethearts?
Did they finish Uni?
Are they alive?
Are they happy??
I guess I should google them and see if I can find out something... :-)
