30 Day Song Challenge - #05 A song that reminds you of someone



Neutral Milk Hotel - King of Carrot Flowers.

I can't listen to this album without thinking about my friend Varun. Before he moved to Melbourne years ago, we'd hang out in his room, talking about music, dissing Muse (this was when Muse had only its 1999 album Showbiz, and was basically Radiohead-lite), counselling him on his relationship problems with his girlfriend and gushing over the awesomeness that was indie music, usually focusing around bands like White Stripes, Radiohead, Elliot Smith and Neutral Milk Hotel.

I remember that I'd usually end up falling asleep by the foot of his bed, only to be woken up by his mother who would ask if I wanted to have dinner.

So yeah.
