Under the Milky Way

I had this song stuck in my head recently. I’m not sure why. I’d liked this song a lot when I first heard it some years back. But why would it come to me now? I hadn’t heard it in a long time…hadn’t I? Well, at any rate I thought I’ll have to find out who sings it so I can get the song.

Yesterday, I received my long-awaited Donnie Darko CD import. Track 3 on disc 1 was “Under the Milky Way” by The Church. The song that had been stuck in my head. I don’t remember consciously knowing this song was on the soundtrack…not when I ordered a few weeks ago (before the song got stuck in my head), nor do I really recall it being in the movie when I watched a few months ago. But I must have known on some level.

It kind of reminds me of when, like, you start humming this song or you hear it in your head, and it’s a little while later you realize it’s playing on the radio. It’s just, you’re in a department store or restaurant so you can’t really hear it over the noises and conversations around you. But it still makes its way into your head before you consciously hear it.

Anyway, I felt like writing that.
