Broke down laughing and screaming for more
But if this changed your life, did you have one before?
#13 - Pine Point by PUP
Beautifully kismet, as you introduced me to this band through this meme last year with this very song. Can’t believe I’ve only had them in my life a year.
Oh, in Pine Point, nothing but memories
The abandoned cemetery
Where we buried our family
I know its not the point of the meme but I feel so compelled to share my experience with this song because honestly and truly, this song (and The Coast) are my two favourite songs of all time. I was shocked this one fell so far outside of my top five. I can only imagine it’s because sometimes I feel too emotional about it to listen. And so, story time:
My nan grew up on an island that was forcefully resettled to the mainland. Official records say it was abandoned in 1955. Official records are wrong. Government cut all services in 1955, but a few families held steadfast awhile longer, refusing to abandon their home just because the government said they must. Her family were the last to leave, remaining until 57. After a winter of struggling to get to and from the mainland to collect supplies or reach medical aid her parents were convinced to give in, for the sake of the children (they’d already lost two of them young).
A couple of times when I was young my family took a trip to the island to visit the graves of her family, friends, and siblings who’d been buried there. She’d point out where the houses used to be and we’d play in the old schoolhouse and church that still stand there. No one in the family ever got over being forced to leave. They mourn it like the family they left in its earth.
The older she got the trip became impossible for her to make. I wouldn’t know where to find it to go on my own, or even what direction to point the boat in, but I used to dream of running away to live there, taking care of the place she loved so much. Her father died young, I never met him, everyone tells me I’m just like him. Someone told me once that if ghosts exist his is there. In my fantasies his spirit keeps me company as I tend to the land he saw as part of him.
It is an indescribable form of nostalgia I feel, spending my whole life longing for this place that died long before I was born. But somehow this song captures all that pain and longing my family speak of this place with, and have passed down to me through the generations.
(Send me a number and I'll give you that song & my favorite lyric off my Spotify wrapped 😊)

Always amazes me how brave, tough, lobster fisher persons ply their craft in all weather. At least, at this early hour, the traffic is light, ocean calm though fog thick. Enjoy your voyage.
