Back from holiday with a song I first heard on TIMJ last summer and grew very fond of since.

at the former i wore my suit, i wore my swimming suit.
This summer I went swimming/This summer I might have drowned/But I held my breath and I kicked my feet/And I moved my arms around, I moved my arms around....

"Salt in my wounds, chlorine in my eyes, I'm a self-destructive fool."

if I could get sentimental for a sec...this song always makes me think of the little band I put together in Atlanta, and we did a cover of this. It was around the same time TIMJ started up. So this actually gives me quite a bit of a nostalgia related to this site. Thanks for all the songs! <3
