Last summer I was totally and horribly addicted to Harper’s Island<\/a> (warning, spoilery Wiki article), this terrible schlocky murder mystery show where a character got bumped off every week. I mean, really addicted. To the point where I was a total spoiler hound and went to try to find bits of the Canadian broadcast which aired a couple of days before the US one did and then when the finale aired, we were down in South Texas and actually went to a REST STOP that has WiFi to see if we could get the damned episodes (we couldn’t).<\/p>\n

So there was this one very very emotional scene when one (well, two) of the characters died to the song Letters from the Sky<\/a> by Civil Twilight. (Here’s the scene, if you want to see it<\/a> – spoilers, duh.) And I was so caught up in the moment that I went and bought the song and rated it high in my mp3 library and played it over and over for a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

And promptly went and forgot about the whole thing.<\/p>\n

So in the last several days, Letters from the Sky has been getting a ton of airplay on the local alt radio station, and I would get all tingly and adrenalined and couldn’t figure out what was up. Finally tonight, I heard it again and started shouting, “That song — television show? People running? Something big happened? What WAS IT!!” and went and looked it up on my phone and realized what it was. <\/p>\n

Isn’t it funny how wrapped up in Harper’s Island I was last summer, and this year I couldn’t even remember the character’s names or who died when? How fickle I am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
