The song finishes, the boy starts the next one - "Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you...". I must have listened to "Wonderwall" about a thousand times during my teenage years. Listening to bands like Oasis was not exactly cool or mainstream back then. But I loved the songs, they were true and helped me through these years.
The kids under the bridge sing enthusiastically, the boy with the guitar starts a line, and lets the others finish it. It touches me that they like this old, immortal song, but makes me almost melancholic, as if I was mourning my youth of days long past. I watch them from the other side of the road, an outsider, an observer.
Am I that old? Well, I am getting married soon. "Wonderwall" is on the playlist for the wedding night.
