Stereo Hearts

As the new decade is here, everyone is listening to throwbacks in memory of their childhood. Some people even have playlists just for throwbacks just like me. 

Even though there are many songs that I would consider throwbacks, one of my favorites is “Stereo Hearts” by Gym Class Heroes featuring Adam Levine.

There are many reasons why this is one of my favorite songs starting with memories from my childhood. I remember whenever it was summer where it was hot and sticky, we would go to my grandma’s house to chill there because she has a pool. We would end up turning that to a pool party where all the children, aunts, and uncles would swim and later come up for steak my grandpa would barbecue. While all of this would be happening, my aunt would but a bunch of songs up and everyone would be dancing and singing. 

Another memory was when we would be on a family trip to the beach during the summer and we would play this song on the aux and me and my cousins would sing and dance in our seats as if the seatbelts couldn’t hold us back from creating the space in the car into our very own concert. 

Also one last memory I remember clearly was whenever my aunt would come back from college for leaving for about 4 months, we would have a “sleepover” and we would jam to this song. 

Whenever I hear this song on the radio or on my playlist, I would remember all the memories I had with this song and how carefree we were when we were young compared to now where we’re a big mess and stressed over how many things we have to do. 

It’s crazy to think that this decade so many of us would be growing up, graduating from college, finding jobs, maybe even having children which is a scary thought to many of us. We might be growing up, but we will remember every memory we ever had with each individual song. Throwbacks just hit different, because when we were little we never know what they’re trying to say or the meaning behind that song, but since it sounds nice and you can easily bop to it, you just go with it and sing your little hearts out.
