We Share Our Mothers’ Health by The Knife

This drop-dead incredible song reminds me of the silly house parties we went to last year; this song in particular cos I remember desperately trying to get someone to play it on the speakers, and no-one was having any of it. I thought it seemed perfect for 4am going-mental-to, but alas.

I think the best thing about those nights was the walk home the next day. That might sound a bit odd, but when the morning sun was beaming and you’d been sleeping uncomfortably on a floor all night, the idea of getting outside and walking along the coast back home (the house parties weren’t usually in our town) was a pretty good prospect. I remember stopping in at my house with the guys for some mid-morning coffee and some Bon Iver, and that was just a great antidote to the antics of the night before.
