Words of Beloveds

After 10 years of knowing someone, it's inevitable that communication changes from new and thrilling stories to...well, whatever the hell we do.
P.S. This man is a magician when it comes to guessing what I'm talking about.

"I need to find someone to play with on Friday."
(Promo plug: Go see Adam and Joel play acoustic guitars at the Carrigan on Friday nights!)
"What happened to Joel?"
"Toronto."
"Uhhh, how about the..guy?"
"What guy?"
"Tall guy."
"Tall guy...?"
"Glasses...tall guy...depressing."
"I don't know a tall guy."
"Tall. Guy. Glasses."
"Steve Sinnicks?"
"Yeah."
"I don't really want to."
"Yes, you do. You played with him all the time at St. George's Arms."
"I never played with him at St. George's Arms."



"Yes, you did. You played that song."
"What song."
"The song...the rollercoaster song."
"Oh, the 'everyday, things are getting closer...'"
"No, not that one. The other one."
"I don't know what you're talking about."

"It kind of sounds like an Everly Brothers' tune."
"Dream?"
"As IF I wouldn't remember Dream."
"...And it goes 'up, down, round and round'...?"
"Yeah. 'Clickety clack...track..something'. That's why I called it the rollercoaster song."

"Is it a Buddy Holly tune?"
"Maybe. Just list all of the songs you harmonized with him on at the pub."
"I don't even remember playing with the fucking guy!"
"Think!"
"Save it For Later? It's not a rollerco-"
"Save it For Later!!! Yes, that one. There. See?"
"It has nothing to do with rollercoasters."
"Doesn't it go 'round and round'?"
"No, it goes 'Runaway'."
"Oh. Well, whatever. Play it with him on Friday."

"It's not Buddy Holly."
"WHAT. EVER."

Listen for yourself. Tell me it doesn't make you think of a fucking rollercoaster.
