Chevrolet Volt Commercial
"Grand Machine No. 12" by Electric President
Tonight, the TV was white noise until Chevrolet's Volt commercial peaked my attention with its use of Electric President's "Grand Machine No. 12." This song brings back the most vivid memories of the time I spent hanging out in my room at my old house in the suburbs. The sun always seemed to be brighter on that side of town. All my memories involve beams of hot sun beating down on my cheeks, making them prickle. I remember laying on my carpet, bathed in sunlight, listening to iPod playlists featuring Electric President and other like bands, doing art, or writing. I spent a lot of time alone in high school in that room. I think it was good for me. I don't spend enough time alone now. In fact, my time alone now almost always ends in an epiphany of some sort, or at least in some serious introspection. I think more alone time would be good for me.
Amazing what can come from a song... or, a commercial : )
That commercial immediately made go and listen to their self titled cd. So many memories, brilliant cd. :)
