The mix for Valentine & the Regard’s “I’m Still a Stupid Kid” is very up close yet lo-fi but that perfectly suits a bittersweet and nostalgic song reminiscing about a time when maybe you had feelings for a special someone who didn’t share your affections. But listening to songs from a tape that you still have that maybe you used to tape songs from the local college station on A.M. radio off the specialty show that seemed to play the perfect blend of songs that reinforced your romantic fantasies and the unrequited mood that you can look back on now with some fondness for a time when you could feel that way about another person without it being creepy or weird, or not AS creepy and weird, because of the way it made your heart swell with some hope for something good ahead even if it never manifested the way you had hoped. There’s something to be said for that feeling and the way it can make life seem more upbeat and filled with light and holding onto that even knowing it isn’t based on something real can’t be all bad for you.
