I have one.
It's U2's All that You Can't Leave Behind. Now before you make a judgement let's remember this is my summer album. Yours can be anything you want. For it just seems wrong to play this album in my car without having the widows down and the speakers just a little past that reasonable volume threshold. That's how I was introduced to the band when I was 10.
Mom drove with the widows down and the CD player on. My brother and I would sing along (we still do this) and stick our hands out the widows. We'd go to baseball games, church functions or a friends house. Things have changed a lot since I was 10 and that's okay. This past week marked the end of an era in my family. My brother got his license which means both of us have more independence than we did 11 years ago. We take ourselves to our own functions which means we have to keep the volume down a bit and definitely keep our hands in the vehicle at all times.
Maybe I am just a sap, but I like knowing there is some consistency in this life that keeps progressing around me and those I know. I can put on this album and just remember where we've been. It's all good.
Blessings!
