“Something Happened to Me Yesterday” by The Rolling Stones

That’s a really odd thing to consider, as it feels so long ago, but also like this ever-present thing, an event I’d rather not have define my life, yet one that holds a permanent position within my psyche nonetheless. It’s like it’s always just on the periphery. And there are a million different things that can make me think of him every single day.

“Video Games” by Lana Del Rey
Nostalgia. I write about it in some form or another a lot here on Joup, as do our other contributors.

It’s in our advertising, our fashion, our cuisine, forever coloring our senses and perceptions in that rose-tinted fuzz of fond memories. For better or worse, nostalgia is everywhere.
