And So It Begins...

Welcome to the sneak attack surprise that is the debut installment of the Song Solstice series!

A Song Solstice shall feature a song a day for the entire month a solstice is in, and this year's Summer Solstice happens this month, June 2024. I did my best to choose songs I have in my collection and are also available on Spotify (except for one song that I couldn't leave off because it deserves more love). It took me until the end of May to decide that. *facepalm*

Thanks to my unofficially diagnosed ADHD (I have an informal confirmation from a psychiatrist that I likely have it, just need to find someone to evaluate me), it took me ages to get the song list set and start writing the blurbs for them, so it's starting a bit late. (Biiiiiig surprise there...) Days past shall be backdated (as this one is because it all has to be in the correct order, mmm'kay?) Stay Tuned, Folks!!

Happy Friday! [18AUG2023]

 Hello, folks!! 

I've been semi-obsessively listening to Rush lately, reveling in the albums I love, revisiting albums I don't know as well, and acquainting myself with albums I never got around to hearing for some reason.

Listening to Test For Echo for the first time, and "Driven" made me stop working on my stuff and check the lyrics. It actually fits for where I am right now, or, at least, where I'm heading. So many Rush songs that resonate lyrically... Good gawd, do I miss Neil...

Enjoy!

Earworms - 9th-11th August 2023

There's something beautiful inside my head...

Sometimes songs you know end up playing over and over in your head, often times just certain lines or just the chorus. These are called "earworms". This week, my main earworm has been the wonderful "Something Beautiful" by Tracy Bonham (you know, the woman who that did the song "Mother, Mother" back in the 90s).  I'd like to share it with you, if you don't mind. ;-)

Song File: Always On My Mind

Song File: Always On My Mind
Featured Version: Pet Shop Boys

As I begin to write this, I am currently working on ideas for something in the future. I had decided to listen to my Liked Songs on Spotify in random order since I didn’t have a clue as to what I wanted to hear. It is playing the Pet Shop Boys’ 2018 remaster of “Always On My Mind/In My House” and I am reminded of a weird little blip from my romantic life.
