San Agustin Days: Always Something There To Remind Me By Naked Eyes



Although I haven't attended any reunion since 1989, lately thoughts about my old high school always pop up in my head. I guess it's because I've been working too hard and stressed out that I'm longing for the good old days. Although, I was a loner, I had to admit that I had some good times and met a lot of cool people way back then. Yet whether I'm at work or walking the streets or even at home listening to the radio or watching television, there's always something out there that takes me back to the days of my youth. When I hear Naked Eyes' version of "Always Something There To Remind Me", it's RT, highschool and nostalgia all rolled in one.

Everytime, I tune in to 24K, this is one of the songs that will definitely be played even if it isn't requested. You can say that's a testament to it's popularity. I have to admit this song takes me back to the more carefree days of school when I would see students coming in before the bell rang and many of them clustered in certain areas where they would talk during break times. I have to admit the best times that this song takes me back to was during the dance shows when aerobics outfits was in style. Now that I clearly remember (in a good way).

Lately, when I look at the trends that the kids today are following, it seems that they are once again reviving 80's fashion and music. All the pants are getting skin tight and the spiky-styled hair is once again in style. Even the music sounds more like 80's pop and rock. I'm afraid to admit that it still pales in comparison to the original times. So in closing for a person who is always nostalgic, I guess I don't have to worry cause no matter where I look or go, there'll always be something there to remind me.
