Because In The Daylight Anywhere Feels LIke Home.

So, we're walking down the streets of Boston, and I'm just so happy to be there and all I want to do is take pictures and feel grateful. Meanwhile, boy I'm walking with can't decide which road he wants to walk down next, and I'm starting to hate him, even though his hair blows my mind. And so with his indecisiveness, we keep walking, and turn a corner, and he stops by a newspaper dispensing type thing, and pulls out one of the local ones. While I stand there genuinely shocked that he stole a newspaper, he starts talking about how it's free and how his grandfather runs a newspaper. And I know I should be paying attention, but his voice is interesting and all I can think of is how to makes me want to listen to him rant. 

Throughout the newspaper he finds things that interest him,and that interests me, and then he finds that Matt And Kim are playing in Boston. They played last week, but he still gets pretty excited and goes, "Have you heard of Matt and Kim?". I deny, and he goes, " Well, you should check them out sometime." And I vaguely promise to do so, while trying to remember what he just said. I was just a little fascinated with his voice for those like 15 minutes. 

We had lunch, and he mentions Daylight by Matt and Kim, at least once, and I give a non-committal reply, saying I will listen. 

I never did.

So, days later, in Humanities, Serena and I are sitting and playing songs, and I ask for a happy song to play. Serena comes up with a Tangled song, and we highfive and sing along. He goes, "What about Daylight?" expecting me to know what that is. I promptly having forgotten about the existence of Matt and Kim exchange a blank look and he plays it... Serena and I are not impressed. "Our song's happier.", we say and move on.

So, on the last Tuesday, a day after I stupidly decided to ignore him, we enter Humanities, and I go to his computer, which is the same one I liked to use, and he's logged on, and his iMovie is up. Serena and I evil laugh and go and start spying on his projects for his Digital Video class. He had, I think, three properly done movies and one insanely hilarious action movie in the making.


 We opened his autobiographical one, and my mind was blown. It was so cheery and funny, and it felt like him, which was nice. It opened with this really cool shot of a tree and the sun shining through, and it scaled up, and as the camera panned up the length of the tree, Daylight started playing. And Serena and I had to admit, it made me feel pretty happy.

We replayed that like three times, it was a great short movie thing. It included Home by Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeroes too, which made me fall deeper in like with him, but I was ignoring him, but that's different.

And, now it's been like a 6 days since Choate ended, and I wake up every morning to Daylight. Serena and I commented about how we both couldn't stop listening to it. 


It's so happy and cheery, and makes me dance in my heart. kind of like when he asked me if I watched Firefly.The song sounds like how I feel, if that makes any sense. How I feel about summer and making friends I hope last forever. 

Amalgamation men and cool, and I'm terrible and handling amalgamation, but that's okay. At least I got a great song out of it.
