Then and Now: Episode 43 Thanks for Reminding Me, River

Everybody has a list of those songs. Songs that, no matter how many times you hear them, you will never get tired of them. It’s usually a pretty short list, because few songs can stand up to that. “Into the Mystic” by Van Morrison; “When You Wish Upon A Star” by Pinochio; those are a couple of mine. But this song is the number one song on that short list. I’ve loved it since the album came out. I loved it before Say Anything, although that movie made me love it more. I went through two cassette tapes of “So” and purposely made it the very first CD I purchased for this song. And the one time I saw Peter Gabriel in concert, I think my heart stopped beating when they played this song. Not to over romanticize it or anything.

This is another track from the High School Reunion CD I played for you a couple of weeks ago. I’m not overly familiar with Lori McKenna, but she seems to have pretty high ratings on her albums on the iTunes music store. Sorta alt country it looks like. Check her out.

    So is definitely in my top 10 favorite albums, ever. My first copy was a cassette, too, and I listened to it daily for months, over, and over, most of the time. Wore it out completely. It was also one of the very first CDs I ever purchased.
