Bobby Birdman - “I Will Come Again” (3.40MB mp3 file)
When I first moved to Los Angeles, I spent at least three or four nights a week at the UCB Theatre, seeing any show I possibly could. (“This is like our Peach Pit,” my friend Michael once said about how often we hung out there.) During one of these nights, a sweet girl came up to me and asked, “Are you April?” and then proceeded to tell me that she used to read the zine I made in high school. (!) How tiny is the world? I freaked out, hugged her, and we talked for a few minutes until the show started and we had to find our seats.
Later, I returned home to find a MySpace friend request from her (that tells you about how many years ago this was), and after approving it I checked out her profile and this song, which she had embedded in her page, immediately started playing. And when it was over, I played it again. And again. And again. And then a few minutes later, I found the album online and bought it. And then played this song some more.
Songs That Saved Your Life
don't forget the songs
that made you cry
and the songs that saved your life
yes, you're older now
and you're a clever swine
but they were the only ones who ever stood by you
I'm April. I like music.
