10 ・・・・・・・・・ – Points

Can You Feel The Change of the Seasons?

Winter is here and fall has left. Little trivial observations we make so routinely, like the bands (idol group?) we know calling it quits, and the lives we will imagine them living from here on out. A fruitless gesture we make in our minds to try and sort out these lives and the importance these silly little bands play into them. I wonder where The Dismemberment Plan are now, I hope they are doing ok. I hope Points find their new summer and their new place, because they will be dearly missed. Right as they were beginning to bloom we must bid ado.

I’m sick of growing old. I remember watching movies in my old apartment a year ago, thinking about the new relationship I was embarking on, and the life I might lead after college came to an end. I was listening to Points’ debut EP back then, wondering what it would feel like to do something new and slip out of myself after 21 years in this ceaseless forward motion towards nothing in particular. Points seemed so sure that being young could mean something, that we could live forever in a state of waiting and yearning. I guess the season was bound to change eventually, I’m no longer blooming. The ground is drying out under me and I’m sure this will all be for nothing. I will miss your colors and your sense that there was water deep beneath me Points.
