This track was the soundtrack to the pangs of wanderlust I experienced in my midteens and to many of the experiences I endured in the subsequent months having run away to a faux bohemian squat, living with a bunch of hippies and sampling all the delights a bed in an attic in a squalid flat during winter can offer. Having run away from the sticks to go to college, I soon discovered the not inconsiderable charms of eating four pence beans, wearing big jumpers and staring out the window worrying about anything and everything inbetween fits of dressing up and getting drunk, surrounded all the while by terrible artwork and typewritten poetry, flitting from gig to gig to club to club, quite convinced of how meaningful everything was and the earnestness of being sad.
These days I have time off again and this afternoon it's raining so this seemed like a fitting tune to have as my second post; it's a great piece of low budget upbeat indie for moping in bedsits and watching the rain out of the window to. The Ex-Boyfriends were a small band from London, this is the only track of theirs that I was ever really aware of, but it's an absolute winner. I can't find much information about them sadly, if anyone has any please feel free to let me know, in the meantime enjoy the mp3.
