I was a shoegazer

When I was a young lass I took off from my cozy home in Vancouver on a cross-Canada tour. I was alone, relatively shy but ready for adventure. I bought this tape (yes tape) right before I left and listened to it non-stop on the bus as I travelled from city to city. As I listened I realized the whole album was a journey beginning with track number 1, this song: Leave them all behind. And now, almost 20 years later, whenever I'm going through a change in my life, I reach for this CD or my ipod and play this album from start to finish and somehow, I feel better.
