Gold (in the air of summer)

My friend introduced me to Kings of Convenience three years ago. They have a song called "Gold in the air of summer" that is positively hypnotic. At the end of the day, don't we all want to be in the throes of young, inexperienced love, en route to a secret getaway at an abandoned beach house?

Yes, I think we do.

I don't. I love the middle aged kind of love I have right now. But young love was good too!

Young Love is intoxicating and prompts people to do stupid things.

Love the song. Hypnotic indeed.

My husband is making kissy faces at me right now. This love isn't young, but it will do just fine.
