"High School" by Jeremy Fisher

Song: High School
Artist: Jeremy Fisher
Album: Let It Shine (2004)
Genre: Folk/Alternative

Fisher is a Canandian singer-songwriter. His work is heavily influenced by folk and blues music. Honestly speaking, Fisher's voice isn't the greatest (but in this day and age of Paris Hiltons and Ashlee Simpsons, whose is?), even has a bit of a nasal tone to it. The cheerful melody and acoustic instrumentals more than make up for it, in fact, even makes his voice fit with the song. You know, awkward high school, awkward voice. (Jeremy Fisher, if you are reading this, I don't mean it!)

A song about reflecting on old high school memories. How many times have you done that in the last year? It probably isn't quite as Fisher describes it, and hopefully we won't end up in the same mess he depicts in the song. (Sample: "You're so the same, but you're so different/I didn't recognize you") At any rate, this upbeat song breathes nostalgia. Instead of specific memories like most of these reminiscence-type songs, Fisher sings about the inherent feelings of high school - in all of its awkward, confusing glory.

(Someone yelled at me for using youtube links, so it's zshare for the time being. When I get back to the states, I'm going to figure out how to imbed a music player)
