They had these cheesy chandeliers hanging with those orange christmas bulbs and it was raining out that day.
Everyone sort of moved around like slugs and the song just fit like a glove. I'll always been 21 at the garmet district when i hear that song.

Ah, love reading about moments like these and having them myself from time to time. The circumstances surrounding a listening experience really do have quite an impact on how an album/song registers.
My first taste of Joos material was far less interesting. Just borrowed
American Water from a friend and was hooked the second Berman uttered "In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection". There's such warmth in his delivery.
