Birthday tape vibe: you’ve got a beautiful taste

Everyone has that one person they just can’t let go of. I got to thinking about that tonight. No one is immune to having a soft spot for a past flame.

For the longest time, I held a soft spot for someone I dated over 7 years ago. It took some major life events for me to finally close that door. People say it’s all about timing. They say it’s about where you are in your life and where the other person is in their life. Maybe. I am not convinced that timing impacts as much as we think.

Some things do get better with time like perspective and music. Tonight’s Birthday Tape is dedicated to songs that seem to get better as time goes on. 90s alternative will forever be a soft spot for me. From flannel shirts to MTV Unplugged, this is one blast from the past I will always welcome. Brownie points for anyone who can name the song the lyric “you’ve got a beautiful taste” is from. Hint: The band performed this song in the pouring rain making it one of the most memorable moments of the 90s.
