CrystalLouise | MEMORY FROM 2001

Oooooo, Last Kiss!

LOCATION: School , Bristol, WI, USA

YEAR: 2001

TAGS: pearl jam, bully, teasing, sad song

PUBLISHED: February 26, 2008

In seventh grade, I grew up a little bit and entered my phase of writing all of the bands and songs that I loved all over everything. Maybe I was hoping that someone would notice all the "cool" bands I listened to and become a friend for life. Maybe I was just bored.

On the paper bag cover of my math book that year, I had written the song "Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam. I do still love the song, and even both versions of it, but I can't help but think back to that year and to a specific day in math class, when a boy in my class saw it written on my book and started picking on me because... well, I don't know why. But he kept saying "Ooooo, Last Kiss!" And making kissy sounds and being really annoying. What a terrible kid! I laugh to myself though, because it IS funny. Awkwardly trying to defend myself and come off looking cool because Pearl Jam was "awesome."

But what a lovely song this is.

Catherine Wagley said: I tutor seventh graders who come to tutoring sessions with pages of popular song lyrics in their binders--most of these pages are brimming with stickers and drawings in pink or purple pen. Apparently, girls at their school exchange hand-written lyrics as mementos of affection. Now that you can print lyrics off the internet, I find their dedicated transcribing really endearing.

That's actually really, really neat... never heard of it before though. Wish I'd have come up with it a long time ago. :) (3/15/2008)
