Evoking memories - Club Bizzare

Posted by: fracas on August 27 @ 7:00 am

I came across this tune on YouTube, which is something from the past….it’s from U96 with the obscure yet interesting name Club Bizzare. I used to love this song. I remember having this on my walkman rewinding it over and over as I was running at sunset. This was the year I fell in love with E. The kind of love you only experience in your youth. Because it’s crushing. And so my heart went from taking little leaps to being in total agony…in a matter of a few weeks. Because when the crushing love hits, it hits hard.The blow was devastating. It came with a rose, a kiss and a promise that everything would be ok. I knew it was the end. After the saga had come to an abrupt closure, another one took hold. The one of revenge. I was consumed with the notion of getting E back. I was plotting for his new girlfriend’s dimise and my own return. I used my evenings to go running, projecting the future in the distant horizon. As I did so, I listened to Club Bizzare.

As I now watch the video, evoking memories and nostalgia, I think of those years and the people I had yet to meet, living their lives parallell to mine. In Holland some 800 km from mine, my future husband would soon be working for this Dutch Music Channel, TMF, where it was so freaquently airing. Cosmos seems infinately vast and yet so small. All is connected, nothing is random. E lives a life distant from mine. I know nothing of his wearabouts. The girl, whose demise I was plotting is now a friend on facebook.

In three weeks the class of 6A will meet for a reunion. Cosmos is once again conspiring…
