Temptation

Temptation by New Order

I am sitting in a college dorm in the spring of 2001, it's about midnight, and I'm sitting in this dorm room at Georgetown with my friend from high school and two girls that he's in school with. We are not doing much of anything, it's more cool than cold outside. We're talking about going to a party, but no one is really sure where it is or if they want to go. We are just being college kids. Temptation is playing in the back ground... and it sums up those cool late nights of late winter and early spring. The air and the music floats though the night sky. The feelings of crushes hang in the air. I'm attracted to this one girl, Zsófia, whose father is Hungarian, but she was born and raised in the States. She has these clear, blue eyes, and a warm welcoming face. "And I've never seen anyone quite like you before/No, I've never met anyone quite like you before."

I love this song, and I love the feelings it gives me. The excitement of someone new, someone fresh and different. And this song holds a special place for those women who are interesting, mysterious, but not impossible; yet in the end probably unattainable. But the night is young, and she's around, the possibilities are endless... the world is ours to do what we please. This is a song of youth and hope. A song that the sky's not the limit... anything can happen on a night like this. And these nights don't happen often, but you never forget them when they come around.
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home.
