Au Revoir Simone - sad song, 2007

"There's this hazy memory buried somewhere in my mind. Something out of focus that becomes clearer the more I listen to this record. It’s of these two girls with long hair that used to live next door to my grandparents. They often wore green or brown summer dresses. They'd always be singing and throwing tea parties, inviting me over to gaze at their wonder world of plastic cutlery and serving me imaginary Battenberg with water for Earl Grey tea. They'd be giggling like only girls with mud for cake could. All I remember about them is their hair, really long hair, hair they seemed to never stop brushing. It's a warm memory."
