When you've been happily married for a while, people might get the impression that you forget what being single is like. Not true. The anxiety, insecurity, thrill, confusion, crushing despair: That sticks with you.
Which probably explains why I find Sombr's hyper-emotional, ultra-candid love songs so evocative. "Oh, right," I think, "I remember this feeling." "Back to Friends" articulates a universal sentiment with such unsubtle clarity that it takes you right back to that moment. I don't miss that time in my life. But I can't pretend it's not there still somewhere inside me.
