Album: Supertones Strike Back

In college I was obsessed what the song Little Man. Listening to it now, I can’t remember being that girl. I can’t remember the words to the songs on this disk. I don’t remember a whole lot about that time in my life. Its both sad and disturbing to me. My convictions were so strong and I was so sure about my faith. While I wouldn’t say that my faith has wavered, I am pretty sure that I am not as strong a Christian as I was then.  I am still a believer, and I don’t think anything could happen to make me question that decision, however, the strength of my convictions is something that could be questioned, and rightfully so.  I will say that I am thankful every single day for God’s unconditional love…and a song on this album, Grace Flood, is a perfect song to listen to whenever I need to remember that.

As I was driving to Jay and Steph’s the other morning to watch the baby girls, I was listening to this album, and upon hearing the song Unite, I had a sudden flashback to a concert that I had totally forgotten about. I don’t remember a whole lot about it, just that it was dark, and it was up near college. I think it was at Brookdale Community College. I know that Laura was there. I am pretty sure that Lou and Sarah would have been there, too. I also remember someone in an orange supertones shirt getting up on stage and dancing only to find out down the line that it was someone from frenzyboard.  I don’t remember who else played that gig. I don’t even remember what year it was. I am pretty sure that a band that we weren’t too fond of played, because I remember vaguely standing outside of the gym around a square couch-y thing and there being some hacky sack nonsense going on. Of course, all of this could be totally made up. I don’t even know what happened to a lot of my pictures in order to go back and look to see if any of this happened or if it was all in my head.

I feel like I should have stronger ties to this band, or at least this album because the song Little Man is the reason I started listening to them in the first place. It is so weird to me that I have a whole mess of albums that used to mean so much to me and now I can’t even remember the lyrics.
