Celebrate It.
I was particularly enamored of the record this song is from, The Colour of Spring,
my first two years of college. I wore out a couple of cassette tapes,
even. When all the Talk Talk stuff got reissued as a set 10 years ago,
I snapped it up and still listen to all four CDs all the time - they're
so not '80s even though they're totally 80s; Mark Hollis' voice
is timeless even if the electronic drumming isn't. His self-titled solo
record is definitely worth searching for.
This song was playing while I was dressing for a spring 1988 party
where an ex-fling was going to be, and I was going against my
boyfriend's wishes. It was also playing often the spring before, with
the sun pouring into my room in Bigelow Hall weekend mornings after a
workout while I reveled in being 18 and on my own.
