I heard this song my last time at ATI. This is the song that made me buy the new Matchbox 20 CD back when one used to buy CDs. This CD, “Mad Season” was the soundtrack of the summer before I went away to WMU. This was the summer I worked at 7-Eleven. I just want to make it crystal clear that GOING to 7-Eleven with your friends to get Slurpees it’s a lot different from WORKING at 7-Eleven. The morning shift.
This was where I brewed 40 pots of coffee very early in the morning, spent a lot of the day stocking the cooler where I wore my winter coat even though it was the middle of summer, where I cleaned up after kids who came in with their friends to get Slurpees, and where I will never forget the unforgettable smell of bottle return. GROSS!
This song reminds me of that summer after high school before college. This was the first and only song I heard off of that album before I bought it. There are such gems on it! I don’t actively seek out songs from that album because it seems like a lifetime ago but hearing it made me smile.
