Description

Write a song about a group of friends who get together and reminisce about shared childhood memories, specifically building snow forts and digging tunnels in the snow ("remember making mixtapes? or burning CDs? now it's all algorithms"), exploring caves and finding a mysterious metal object ("P was convinced it was part of a spaceship"), and the awkward experience of a large bus driver ("That bus driver was MASSIVE"). The friends also discuss the unreliability of memory ("like a copy of a copy of a copy") and how their recollections of the same events often differ ("we have like completely different memories of childhood sometimes"). Include the line "imagine dedicating 10 years of your life to precisely measuring how fast uranus spins lol" in the song, referencing a news story they discussed about the planet's rotation. The song should explore themes of nostalgia, the passage of time, and the subjective nature of memory.
