Album With Cards, No Pictures

 This post could be like one of those songs that suddenly plays on the radio, and a bunch of people see themselves surprised as they all sing along. Just the beauty in the repeating of coincidences, within memories.

Picture an album with cards instead of pictures, with plastic pages and individual spaces for each card, transparent plastic where to put the cards and see them easily, at first sight. Easy to take them away and put them back inside, a collection of cards that sometimes gain interest and some other times they get too boring to watch. Moving cards in and out, out and in.

Whenever there are no new cards coming to the album, we enjoy watching the cards we already have, those cards that we have placed on the first pages because lately we feel like staring at them; and remembering there are some old cards that once were in these first pages, but for the moment are not very fun to stare at.

An interesting sensation while thinking about certain cards, and how they became what they are now, going from old and forgotten pages to be renovated and placed back in the first pages just because the fun of staring at them feels the same, and changing the position of the cards can just entertain us for a while... and also avoid those hidden cards we rather put in the last pages, facing down.

Lyrics by Kids In Glass House

Is it so hard to remember
When we go back to September
We were
We were like.

You're a throw back to forever
In your denim jeans and leather
Yes you
Yeah we were like.

All these things that you like to leave behind
All these things that you like to leave behind.

And if it matters at all
If it matters at all
You'll wait until your first time
You'll wait until there's something wrong
Cos you'll always be the one who says
Goodnight, Goodnight, (Goodnight).

I'm watching
I'm choking
As you took a draw back on a cinder
Hanging limp between your fingers
We were
Yeah we were like.

As you crashed out as a heartthrob
When you woke up in a day job
We were
Yeah we were like
We were like.

All these things that you like to leave behind
All these things that you like to leave behind.

And if it matters at all
If it matters at all
You'll wait until your first time
You'll wait until there's something wrong
Cos you'll always be the one who says
Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight.

And if it matters at all
If it matters at all
You'll wait until your first time
You'll wait until there's something wrong
If it matters at all
If it matters at all
You'll wait until your first time
You'll wait until there's something wrong
Cos you'll always be the one who says
Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight
