time never leaves me

I'm listening to the new Archer Prewitt record and it's one of the few things making me happy on this drizzly Monday afternoon.

I think it may get stuck on repeat for the next few hours. In a not-to-be-unexpected way, its rhythms and melodids remind me of 1997 - the year I fell in love with his solo debut, In the Sun. In many ways, that record became a soundtrack to a very tumultuous year.

Wow. That was nearly eight years ago. In a small but significant way that thought makes me feel a lot better...to know how much time has passed and how far I've come. How far most of us have come. Things aren't so heavy anymore, not really, not at all.

That said, I'll probably still play the hell out of this CD today.
