Okay, that song right there ^ needs to be listened to because it's a great and awesome song.
I heard it earlier today and it has me inspired, thinking, and reminiscing: all of which is pretty impressive for a song, because that doesn't happen very often.
POINT: this song reminds me of A Separate Peace by John Knowles - haven't read it? I suggest you do. It reminds me SO much of the characters in that book that I seriously love. God, who doesn't read this book and doesn't fall in love with Finny & Gene's relationship? It's just great - this song just accents what this book is for me and I can't even formulate my thoughts to state how badly I want to see a montage of Finny & Gene to this song. I picture Leper walking around in the snow looking for beaver dams, being content even if the other boys thinks he's a spaz and a weirdo for being himself, and Finny & Gene being themselves with all of the tension that builds up between them, and all other sorts of events that happen within the book. I want to download this song and just listen to it on a loop as I re-read this book again.
There are so many memories tied to this book. I became really good friends with Ashley practically through this book, ignoring the fact we were in plays together and we technically started talking when we read Ethan Frome sophomore year. Our friends made a Facebook group about a part in the book, and even went as far as to make notecards with the motto and everything.
Oasis, thank you for creating such an amazing, perfect song to explain all that it is that I love about A Separate Peace in such a succinct manner. Thank you, John Knowles, for creating such lovable characters that will consistently tear my heart out no matter how many times I read your book ♥
No quotes, just listen or read the lyrics to the song =)
