I remember when my year as an exchange student in Michigan was going to end, and not only did I have to say goodbye to my host family and friends, I also had a boyfriend that I didn't even know if I would get to see again. We had plans to see if we would last together (while being separated by the distance) and if we did I would go back to Michigan for a year and see if things worked between us. Wel... exactly then Simple Plan came out with this song...
Like, really? Could it be more fitting to my situation? And then, Estrella Damm (a Spanish beer company who does these cool commertials with a song every year) came up with the following video.
As you can probably guess, my relationship with that guy did not end well (which right now I couln't be happier of how things turned out, because things are very complicated on that side right now). But next summer I went back to Michigan to visit my host family; my brother and I went there and stayed with them for a whole month. Well... then, after we came back home Simple Plan (yeah, them again) came up with the following song.
And now you are probably thinking: "so... what?". Well I guess that all I am trying to guess is that nowadays when I hear those songs I can't stop thinking of those moments. When I hear Simple Plan's Jet-lag, all I can think of is hugging my now-ex-boyfriend in the airport and never wanting to let go. When listening to Summer Paradise I can't stop thinking of coming back from the summer in Michigan with my brother and not wanting to look back at my host mom because I didn't know when I would see her again.
And I know that there will be a song this year that will be stuck in my mind forever together with the memories of my year as an aupair. And that is great, because you never know when you will end up hearing that song on the radio or in your car or when it will pop up in Youtube as a sugested song, and as soon as you listen to it your mind will be full of memories of those days.
