This morning on the radio, Of Monsters and Men, Little Talks. Haven’t heard it on the radio in forever. Hard to believe it came out in 2011. My youngest was 5 and we would sing this by memory, ha! I love songs that sound happy or upbeat or but are talking about something dark. Ooof, when I realized what Hey Joe was talking about and it wasn’t until Body’s Count version that I tuned into the lyrics. But I just read that Wilson Pickett did a cover of it, so I will be running to that hill.
Next was Crowded House, Don’t Dream It’s Over. Yep. Funny how some songs save your life over and over again. Sometimes you don’t know it. Not then. Your heart just breaks, still. Then heals. You feel relief. Maybe you don’t realize that pause, was someone moving that dagger a little bit left of your heart. Driving down Western Avenue, singing at the top of my lungs. Spotted a huge hawk taking flight from the top of a tree. The joy. I slowed.
Anyway, working on this Left Turn piece. Wrote it freehand at first and trying to type it out without editing it as I go. But that might be hard.
Had a good but short weekend. But that is how all of my weekends are as of late and that is okay.
Throwback photo of my husband and I. He is my light. If I didn’t have him I’d probably lose all faith in most people.
Listening to Body Count now. Forgot how good this band was. For some reason the only song I remembered was Evil D*%k. haha
