Shinystar | MEMORY FROM 2008

Then the music hits you

LOCATION: Hearts of Love , Atlanta GA

YEAR: 2008

TAGS: In the air tonight

PUBLISHED: March 11, 2008

Wow, this song hits real hard when I listen to it.  I wasn't even born yet when this song was release to be honest.  This song is emotionally strong and driven.  I love it because it talks about it coming in the air tonight.. but he doesn't really tell you "what is coming."  It really makes me think when I listen to this song.  I think it's about deja vu, a past relationship going from the very beginning to the very end.

 

I also sense pain in this song, and we all have felt pain in love I'm sure.  This song characterizes a bad relationship I went through.  The song makes you feel stronger like you can overcome.  I overcame and this is still a favorite song of line.

Appelman knows much about my habit. (4/15/2008)
