Day 6 - A song that reminds you of somewhere

Song: "Don't Worry About The Government" - Talking Heads, Talking Heads:77 (1977)

31 Madison Ave, #2, Cambridge, MA 02140. That's the address of my very first apartment. For my junior year of college, I moved off-campus and took a major step towards joining "the real world." And what was the very first song I listened to in that humble little apartment in Cambridge? Talking Heads' "Don't Worry About The Government," an upbeat track about the pleasures of living in your own space. "I pick the building that I want to live in," David Byrne sings, elaborating that "my building has every convenience, it's going to make life easy for me." Did 31 Madison Ave. have every convenience? Not even close. Did it make my life easier? Not particularly. Yet, every time I hear "Don't Worry About The Government," it reminds me of that thrill and mild terror I associated with living in my own place for the first time in my life.
