The Beach Boys / Wouldn’t It Be Nice (Vocals Only)

This makes me ache a little. My parents used to put The Beach Boys on in the car all the time, The Beach Boys and all their male vocal groups covering Tagalog love songs. We drove to a hospital and back and I don’t even remember what time of year it was; I just remember what the car ride sounded like. Most of the songs had these dreamy sunny-eyed lyrics about lying in the grass and kissing on boats. That or hey, let’s get married someday. Like this.

I think I’m starting to understand the appeal of marriage more, or at least living with someone and seeing them every day. It’s definitely a departure from the long-distance I’m used to. I rarely get to fall asleep with anyone. Doing that every night is so far from what I know that for a while I dismissed the idea entirely. But now it’s like…oh, I don’t know. I dream sometimes. It scares me a little. Or a lot.

But I think, at least for now, having that physical distance is good for me. I’m still trying to establish my place here and develop my own person. I get my own stories to tell.
