Fast Car

My girlfriend texted me, "Tracy Chapman, Fast car = Perfection".

Let's see. We were in college when we discovered that song. I think freshman or sophomore year. I was 18 years old.

We are both 34 now. Years and miles away from afternoons lying around listening to songs over and over and over again.

But for a second, I got it. I heard the song in my head and I felt that wonderful feeling when a song is so much more than a song, but resonates with your spirit.
