Me too. I'd heard of Semisonic but not their music. Great song and a beautiful story. I know that feeling and I love how you've captured it.
I had that feeling the other day. My son is about to turn 18. We were doing up the invite and we had this great pic of him posing with his guitar by the creek, he must have been 7 or 8. As it is with digital photos, there's 1000s to trawl through, especially from ten years ago, if you want to find anything.
Mostly found pictures of myself from then. Same person / different person. I know what you mean.
