Back when Songs for the Deaf first came out my dad would play it in the car driving places. He'd always skip the first song though. Never letting me hear what essentially would become my all time favorite track. But the sounds of a car "beeping" stuck out. I had no idea what the name of the album, the song, or anything of the sort was. Eventually my father got sick of it and switched back to talk radio. And as time went by I forgot about the album.
One day, going through my parents CD's I came across Songs For the Deaf. In my mind I had never heard this album before. I had no idea who the band was. So I decided to give the album a spin. When the sounds of the car "beeping" came on, I was blown away. It caused all these memories I had forgotten about to come rushing back. And as the track played through, I was blown away by just how incredible the song my father always skipped was. From then on, I was in love with that album for the nostalgic reasons and the fact that it's just a fucking perfect album!
