And in turn, changed the rest of the night. 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399173 2016-12-19 23:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399173 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399267 2016-12-19 23:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399267 Immediately the faded album artwork behind the music controls switches to a mysterious mix of black and dark green hues. 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399286 2016-12-19 23:30:47 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399286 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399566 2016-12-19 23:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399566 The text scrolls, displaying the words, “Hypnotic (Vanic Remix).” 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399625 2016-12-19 23:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399625 Instantly, my ears sharpen to the initial few dings of electronic music. Followed soon by the overcaffeinated synthesizers, the song transitions from a relaxing intro to a loud and aggressive middle. As the song begins to pick up, my foot becomes more and more heavy. The needle begins to rise. 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399667 2016-12-19 23:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399667 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399737 2016-12-19 23:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399737 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399800 2016-12-19 23:43:30 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399800 Suddenly the electronic noises nearly cease, the once extraneous female voice becomes the main attraction. 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399812 2016-12-19 23:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399812 Her tone becomes.. 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399861 2016-12-19 23:44:45 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399861 Higher 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399899 2016-12-19 23:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399899 And Higher 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399906 2016-12-19 23:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399906 Till it meets with the synthesizer once more. 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399937 2016-12-19 23:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144399937 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400142 2016-12-19 23:48:33 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400142 Suddenly the music drops. 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400279 2016-12-19 23:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400279 And so does the gear. 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400300 2016-12-19 23:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400300 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400367 2016-12-19 23:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400367 From 5th to 3rd the car launches forward. The turbo spools all the way to 7500 rpm. The car flies. 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400441 2016-12-19 23:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400441 The turbo spools all the way to 7500 rpm. The car flies.

The second that song came on, the world seemed to change. When I remember my senior homecoming, the party was nice, and dinner was great. But my three closest friends and one song changed my night in a nearly magical way. 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400680 2016-12-19 23:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400680 176465 https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400803 2016-12-20 00:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/176465/AM/wish/144400803
