With a name based on a Mystery Science Theater 3000 riff, EPP was originally going to mostly house B-movie reviews. Now though, it has become a repository for whatever burrs get under my pop culture saddle on any given day. Seriously, I must be insane; who else voluntarily reads a book on the history of jeans...and enjoys it?

Self-Indulgence: 30 Day Music Meme: Day 9: A Song That Reminds You of an Ex

One problem: which song and which ex?  'Cos there are a few of each...

Day 9: A Song Which Reminds You of an Ex

I chose, for various reasons, "Back of a Car" by one of my fave bands, Big Star.  I'm a sucker for most of this band's catalogue, and when I learned back in March that Alex Chilton had died, I wept.
I didn't drive much in high school, relying instead on rides from friends and such.  I still don't drive, and everytime I hear this song, I think of a particular girl I knew and loved very much, but whom I couldn't bring myself to say "I love you" to.





LYRICS

Sitting in the back of a car
Music so loud, can't tell a thing
Thinkin' 'bout what to say
And I can't find the lines

Know I love you alot
I just don't know, should I or not
Waiting for a brighter day
And I can't find the way

I'll go on and on with you
Like to fall and lie with you
I'd love you too

Baby, I'm too afraid
I just don't know if it's ok
Trying to get away
From everything

Why don't you take me home
It's gone too far inside this car
I know I'll feel a whole lot more
When I get alone ...
