Office, 15.30
I heard Travis' 3 Times and You Lose from Uchil's computer while I was rephrasing words for the darn green leaflet.
"Wow, you finally downloaded Travis' latest album!"
He grinned.
"Have you listened to track 12? It has a hidden song, which is a great song."
Then we talked about it for a moment. We shared our similar experience of being surprised by the sudden 'appearance' of the hidden track.
Then the last song from the album ended. After that, I heard a not-so-familiar song, but I knew exactly the voice of the singer.
"Sounds like Fran Healy..." I mention Travis' vocalist.
"It's still Travis," he answered.
"Really? What's the title of the song?"
"Ode to J Smith."
I had my moment to recall. "Never heard that before."
He said, "It's on their last album. You know, the last last one, before Fran decided to go solo."
I was surprised. "What?"
"Yeah, that's why I was pretty much confused when you told me to download their last album, The Boy With No Name. Their last album is titled Ode to J Smith."
"What?" I repeated my surprise line.
He didn't say a word.
I grabbed my mouse and started to Google.
"Ode to J Smith is released on September 2008 and I thought The Boy With No Name was their last one!"
"That's what I knew," he mumbled.
"Where have I been? It's been two years! Oh good God, I missed it!"
I kept reading the articles.
"I exactly remember that The Boy With No Name was released in 2007 because that time, I was finishing my final project with Dania and she kept singing the Closer's line of 'lean on me now' with 'mino mina'. But, I really really wasn't aware of their next album! Oh, what kind of fan I am?!"
He did nothing but giggled.
I think my time frame has broken. I should be more aware of time now. Or, I may miss something more important than Travis' album and Fran Healy's solo album.
I may miss my life, don't you think?
