Summertime
New Kids on the Block : The Block (2008)

I did not know what this band/group truly meant to me until this single hit the radio. I could not believe that seeing these five guys together again would touch me this much and bring out a feeling inside me lost since childhood. I remembered every single word, every single video, every single poster I had, and I remembered listening to their tapes, alone in my room, falling in love with guys I would never meet. The first crush.

The excitement everyone felt when these guys were huge in the late 80s early 90s was phenomenal, and none of it was lost at all! I went on their website and found that all the other "grown up" fans were feeling the same thing as me! They brought us all back to an exciting place that is hard to get back to, if you can at all, in memories and photos, but they brought back the feeling.

I went to three concerts in October and November 2008 and the vibe and level of excitement was insane. At the first show at Staples, we sat in the back and even back there every girl was on their feet the entire time, singing, Every. Single. Word. Although I couldn't see them that well, it was as if I was in the front row... Well, maybe not, I'm sure I'd die if I was in the front row!

The last two concerts (San Diego @ Cox and L.A. @ Nokia) we had much better seats. I could actually see the expressions on their gorgeous faces. My sister and I wore 80s attire and jean jackets covered in buttons. Her favorite is Donnie, and mine is Jordan. When she showed her husband our pics, she asked him if he wanted her to divide them up by who took them. And he said he could tell... All the ones of Donnie were hers and all the ones of Jordan were mine :)

It was the most amazing time. The thrill hasn't died either. Whenever I hear Summertime it makes me feel so incredibly home... I guess that's what being a New Kids fan is to me, being home.

My sister, my daughter, and I dragged my Mom to the show in Irvine, CA (July 10, 2009) and it was the same excitement, the same happiness, the same fun, just as fun as the first concert I went to. So, yeah, the thrill hasn't died at all, it never will... And yes, I remember... always :)

Backstory:

When I got back into fanlistings, one of the first listings I applied for was Summertime... But I didn't get it! They gave it to someone else, and I was saddened because this song meant a lot to me. But I applied for other NKOTB related listings and am the owner of their first three album fanlistings, so that made me happy.

As time went by, I noticed that the Summertime fanlisting had stayed on the upcoming list for quite a while, and then *poof* it was gone from upcoming and available again! So I re-applied, with no real hope, okay, a little hope, and I ended up getting it the second time around! So I am truly very happy :)
