For about 4 years now, a really good friend of mine (Andy) and I have been trying to get a band together. For one reason or another, it’s never quite worked out and we’d usually just hang at his house and talk about how we would do this and that (never actually playing mind you; it was all talk). Anyway, fast forward to a couple of days ago. All my friends and I are getting ready to go off to college and another really good friend (David) of mine says that we should get together and play a few songs. David, Andy and I all used to hang out at school together so we decided to all get together. Anyhoo, yesterday, we finally decided on some songs (mostly Radiohead) and they learned the guitar parts and I learned the vocals. Today, we all got together and played. It was hard at first (we played 2+2=5 off the new album) but we finally got it together and played the song the entire way through. The feeling that you get playing is indescribable. I was glad that we finally learned a song. It was a good way to spend our last couple of weeks together. Probably as mundane as it gets, but I’m still on that high I guess.
& happy for you!
