We sat there in silence. Other cars around us are also tuned in to the radio in playing the same song. It was the peak of the hipster era. It was magical.

You always find yourself having something to say, shout or ask but the person is long gone, and all you can catch or remember is a glimpse of their look when they went away or you left, as they look at each other at the end of the song. Brilliant!

If a handful of songs would describe entire generations, we would really be much worse off, depending on which ones you pick. Perhaps it's best Eric Clapton's "Cocaine" or The Outfield's "Your Love" does not describe most people of that time. They are banging songs, but neither snorting coke nor f*cking your girlfriend's friend are really something glorious and I would like to hope most were more "mature" than that.

Hey Edward, i'm 76 too but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy what was used to be called "pop" music mainly intended for a young audience at the time. What the hell, we've both heard thousands of songs in our time so we know when we hear something special - like this. Reckon the lyrics will have an uncomfortable familiarity for many.

“Now you’re just somebody that I used to know” stays so relevant of a line because we’ve all been there. We had someone that was the center of our being turn into a stranger. I could write a thousand words on that but that’s why this song is so perfect. It explains the entire situation, simply and accurately. I remember where I was when I heard the towers fall, and when I first heard this song. It’s crazy how much impact it has.

The best part of this song for me was hearing Kimbra for the first time.
