30 Day Song Challenge, Day 7: Song That Reminds You Of An Event

This has gotten to the point where I'm worried of repeating myself.  Day 5 and 6 were both specific events with specific people, and today's Song Challenge makes me question my previous choices as being too specific.

Specifics.

Anyways, this is my shot at Day 7:

"Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine" by The Killers.

Really, it should be their discography circa Summer 2008, but I'll get to why I chose this song in a second.

I was a huge Killers fan (I don't use "The"s if it makes sentences.  I'm sure you'll cope) during my freshman year of college.  On the last night we were all living in the dorms (Johnson Living Center), I decided to work on a special project that I daydreamed up during my last final.  So, using the rec room white board, I drew out a caricature map of all of my college friends, a group that we titled the G.V.S.C. (named after a chair we found baring the same initials, which we astutely assumed stood for "Grand Valley State Chair).

I knew I didn't want to stop for anything, so I needed to put on one artist to listen to until I finished my project (for all-night papers, my go-to was Godspeed You! Black Emperor).  I landed on The Killers because I thought they'd keep me up and were one of the less-embarrassing artists on my iTunes (besides Fall Out Boy and the Juno soundtrack).  I worked until my shuffle ran out of their songs and then I started it over again.

I'm not exactly sure why this night stuck with me, as I'd listen to The Killers frequently and often.  It may be the fact that they were the soundtrack to the conclusion of my first year of college, something definite that I wanted to make special with a certain musical selection.

It was only recently, in the company of one of my freshman year, who I drew, informed me of the so-called Murder Trilogy within The Killers' discography, a notion that blew my mind open.  It was some great Easter egg that I was finally privy to after all these years, the fact that "Jenny," "Midnight Show," and "Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf" tell a homicidal narrative within the lyrics.

Hope I didn't spoil anything for you.
