This is my question for today and it is ultimately a reflection of the mood I’m in right now. I guess I’m feeling a bit sarcastic about the world this evening. At any rate, what really makes the world go ’round? Is it love? Is it money? Is it music? Is it food? What, pray tell, please tell me, what is it? No answers? Cat got your tongue? I know the answer – forget love, forget money, and it’s definitely not food. So, that only leaves one answer. You got it – it’s music! Thank goodness for music!
When there’s nothing else, there will always be music. And, if you can’t listen to any of it, you can always make your own. I can go and tickle the ivories on my tired piano downstairs, I could drag out that dusty clarinet, or I can hum my own tune. I’m very good at entertaining myself – maybe a bit too good.
When you have been single as long as I have, sometimes you just get really, really tired of it. Is there anything else to life? Or is this it? I don’t know – maybe I shouldn’t complain. Things could be better, but they could always be worse.
Thank goodness that music is what truly makes the world go ’round, and I like all different kinds of music! I can listen to some really great songs that I can relate to by some fave singers and groups such as Sarah McLachlan, the Bee Gees, U2, and INXS to name just a few.
Anyway, my song for this evening is “Tragedy” by the Bee Gees. I’ve listened to a few weeks of Sarah McLachlan’s beautiful Wonderland album for the holidays. Now, it’s time to get back to reality with those Gibb brothers. Forget “How Deep is your Love,” never mind “Stayin’ Alive.” It’s all about “Tragedy.” I don’t quite agree with all of the lyrics, but it’s pretty close.
Did I get you laughing yet? I hope so!
Next may be some INXS, who knows? They have a good song that fits my mood tonight, too. I need my music fix!
