Songs for time periods, or songs for a person. Every once in a while I will hear a song that will remind me of a place or a person, either for good or bad reasons. However, there was a song that I recently heard during a concert performed by the Pyschedelic Furs that immediately reminded me of a person from my past. Why the song reminds me of her, I'm not sure, but it just threw out images in every which way imaginable. The song, Heaven, by the Furs reminded me of Astrid, this stunning person I dated for a couple of years while at the Y. She was this petite dancer with aryan features whose ancestry comes from Norway (not this Astrid). Nicest person you could ever meet. Looking back, I probably managed to blow the whole deal and ended up breaking up with her in a semi-ugly situation which just so happen to correspond on the exact day that Christian borrowed her scooter and consequencly wrecked, see other stories related.
I can't quite remember how I met her, I think via a female friend from NY that lived in Stover Hall with her. I was kind of a chicken shite back then and finally asked her out and we hit it off very well. After about a year or two, things just sort of faded and we broke up. I remember not talking to her at all after a while and saw her about three year laters during graduation returning books. We chatted, but it was casual and that was it. One tends to wonder how you can be totally involved with someone, for years, and then just sort of stop. Funny how life works that way. She was a little kooky, but that was her charm. Ah well, ironically, I remember emailing her a while back and actually got a xmas letter from her. How time travels, married happily with kids. She deserves it. So someone call Casey Casem and dedicate Heaven to Astrid and hold your lighter up high in unison. I'll have to add some odd stories about that time period at some point. The times were a strange one indeed!!!
