The Tragically Hip - "In View"
I've only heard this song twice. First time in winter, in a wet minivan, getting carpooled home from a ski trip, and we were all listening to the radio softly. Havre's mom's hair was hanging unnaturally over the back of the driver's seat, and I looked at it the whole time. Plus, Havre had just said "shit" accidentally a few minutes before, so things were a bit settled into silence. The next time I heard it was that summer, at the concert, when everybody started jumping when they played it. I didn't jump, but I did turn around and look out at the dark distance. I saw a plume of smoke, the concession tents, and the path to the parking lot with trees like curtains. Two older kids were making out, and an older couple standing so far back, just smiled and kind of swayed. When it was over, we went home, and on the way we heard Queen on the radio. [Buy]
The next day, I went even further backward in time. [Buy]

cheers, baby
