Stages of Listening to “Stay” by Lisa Loeb

00:01 “That little guitar riff…what is that?  That sounds so familiar.”

00:08:  “Oh wow.  Ohhhh wow.  Do not touch anything unless it’s something that makes this louder.  Ah, wow.”

00:10-00:18:  [singing along with complete confidence of knowing the words]

00:19:  Come across the line that I always said as “I talk snow all the time” and think how that makes no sense.  Gradually fade out on the singing.

00:47:  Uh-oh.  I’m actually getting a little sad.  Haha, oh well.

01:09:  Oh god.  Oh no.  This is too much.  Alright man, maintain.  Maintain.  Just get to the part about turning the radio up, we’ll be fine.

01:20: Oh, 90’s drums.

01:43: I THOUGHT I WOULD LIVE FOREVER TOO AND NOW I AM ALSO NOT SO SURE AND NOW I JUST RIPPED THE SHOWER CURTAIN DOWN OFF THE BAR AND KIND OF REGRET IT BUT REALLY HAVE NO GOOD WAYS OF MANAGING MY FEELINGS RIGHT NOW.

02:08:  Why am I such a fuckup?

02:34:  Jesus, can’t you see that I’m…that Lisa is hurting here and just Stay!?

02:49:  Alright, get it together.  Your boss let you call in that one time because you said this song came on and you just couldn’t handle it, but I think that’s only because it was such a novel, weird excuse that he didn’t know how to handle it.  Probably won’t work twice.

02:59:  Alright, made it.  Let’s dry off and swear to never listen to that again.
