Soundtrack Of My LIfe: A Song Will Ever Be With Me
The Song- Creep by Radiohead
The Story. Everyone has a story. The song changed my life. It happened in August 1993. Spending the night with a group of friends at someone’s house. I had just overcame back surgery. I was an awkward teenager with a back brace, braces on my teeth and I did I mention that i was an gawky teenage girl? Well, that song changed my life because I realized that seemed to be the transition from my love from R&B music. It also was the time when I realized that I was a hopeless romantic.
The Scene: A boy and girl stand outside in the driveway late at night talking to each other with the song playing. They were friends of the girl who at the house we were staying at that night. The guy’s truck (or vehicle) played that song kinda loud. They kept talking to each other while the rest of the girls stood in the house watching the scene go down. After a good half hour guy leaves. Girl is sad. We put that song on and we played it over and over for the rest of the night. Honestly, I hoped that they would be a couple but then again I was confused. I thought she liked someone else and he liked someone else. It seemed like a high school drama.
That’s also the night I realized that I didn’t belong with that group. I realized that they were older and they did things that made me feel out of place. I kinda felt like a creep. I felt like a loser. I didn’t do the things that they did and I was too Christian. Funny, because I looked up to them. I really wanted to be their friends. I guess, I realized it was too late for that. I wonder if that song resonated with them or did it just change my life? I’m so very special… I’m a creep….
