      +James Brooks it's like starting over and being wary of new love, but if she can somehow accomplish it, he'll let her. Genius.

    Picture this: It's a Wednesday night-that day had been the very last day of school before summer vacation. A couple of my friends, my brother and I went out to eat. We spent the entire night laughing and reflecting. That year had easily been one of the worst years of my life, but some of my strongest friendships had come from it. By the time my brother and I were leaving, it was almost eleven at night. We were both dead tired. We stay silent for most of the car ride, but about halfway through, he pulls out his phone and starts playing this song. "I love this band," he says. "Sometimes I forget how much I love them, though." This song starts to play. We drive home, the ancient roads of my home town at peace. For once, the universe stops to take a breath. I didn't cry then, but looking back now, I shed a tear. I'm glad I'm gone, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it from time to time.

    The chorus lets me think about my last four years as universitary student. It has been a lonely and dark period for me, i totally isolated myself on purpose and I didnt live the life i could.. free of mind. And now that I try to crawl back to the places I didnt experience, i feel like “i don t know why, i don t know why.. i return to the scenes of these crimes...”

    Okay okay. Picture this. It’s 2015 and you’re sitting in the car while your mom is driving you home from school. You hear an eerie guitar riff and than “if only you had known me....before the accident”. The song finishes on the radio and you loved it! Too bad you didn’t hear what it was called.
    3 years later you’re planning to move from you’re current house to a house out of state. You’re waiting for a showing to be over and an odd feeling wash over you and you hear the same ominous guitar riff from a few years back. This time you make sure to inform yourself of what it’s called, but with no way to really listen to the song, you slowly forget it existed.
    The year is 2019. You didn’t sleep last night and it’s five in the morning. You’re listening to Spotify when something comes on in your recommended, you swear you’ve heard it before. You pause for a minute and realize “This is “The Ghosts Of Beverly Drive”!!!” And add it to your Spotify playlist so you’ll be able to listen to the song again!
    The year is 2021.
    You lost the old Spotify account, but you found the old playlist. You’re curious as to what you used to listen to, so you hit play. The words “If only you had known me...before the accident” echos in your head. The song has come back in every part of your life. Funnily enough the song is called “The Ghosts Of Beverly Drive”. The song, it’s eerie echoey riff, and spine chilling lyrics that seem to disappear as soon as they’re said, is haunting you.
    Okay okay forget the atmosphere for a minute. THIS HAS BEEN MY LIFE FOR Y E A R S. I CAN’T ESCAPE THE SONG....AND I LOVE IT.

    Ever since the first time I saw the name of this song on the car radio four years ago, I hated it; thed name & the tune. I didn't know why, especially since the radio was always muted whenever it was playing. I'd never even heard this song until last month & honestly, finally hearing this sing was relieving. It's not my favorite, but it's not bad. Anybody else?

      Narrow stairs > trans = plans > everything before trans > kitsungi > codes and keys is how I’d rank death cab records.
