“(This is) The Dream of Evan and Chan” by Dntel featuring Ben Gibbard (Superpitcher Kompakt remix)

This is what I know about this song:

I love this song and I always have and I always will.

It was written based on a dream Ben Gibbard had starring Evan Dando and Chan Marshall.

I love this remix more than the original.

I only listen to it during certain times of year, specifically the fall. I call that my transitioning period, the time in which I move away from “traditional” music and become enveloped in anything electronic oriented. There’s something about the cold temperatures combined with the aloof atmosphere of an electronic song, especially one that can be classified in the IDM or minimalist techno category, that works well with my psyche this time of year. I’m sure you’ve noticed the abundance of such posts recently and hopefully you’re not turned off by my sudden transition.

When I listen to this song, I think of my freshman year of college, and how, at the time, it all seemed like a catastrophic mess, but now, in my final year, trying to figure out what I’m going to do with my life and how I’m going to do it, the time seems so perfect. I think about how innocent we were then, how innocent I was then, and how I miss the freedom of innocence. The eagerness to try anything is lost on me now. I miss that.
