♫ "I Love Music....."♫

      Yes, I LOVE MUSIC!! I've told you about that before. But there is something about me and music that I don't think I have told you before...Before I tell you though, let me first say: 'This print (in the header photo) by matthabel, entitled Street Music, is soooooo cute!' :-) I saw it and immediately knew I had to share it!
      This is soooooo ME! On a good day without rain, some better hips, and a live band playing for me, I mean! LOL Wait a minute, don't laugh...because in my travels I've HAD days like that! And boy have I had fun dancing to some music!! This print had me going back in my mind to an 'Old School' song called, "I Love Music" by the Ojays! :-) If you don't know that song....you're probably also not familiar with the expression 'Old School'!! ^_^
      Anyway!!!...The thing I've probably never told you before is that I wake up every morning.....EVERY MORNING...with a song going over and over in my head! I don't know when this started happening. The truth is that I was always conscious that it happened, but I didn't realize that it was unusual until I started singing one of my songs over and over OUT LOUD one morning, and hubby said: "Why are you singing that same song over and over?!"
     I said: "Oh, that's the one that's playing in my mind this morning."...He said: "What do you mean?"....I said: "You know! When you wake up in the morning...the song!" He had such a puzzled look on his face.....and then I realized "You're the only one this is happening to!'

       On days like today, with it all dark and pre-rainy, I don't mind at all having a song in my head! In fact, even a song about rain, like the one by Patty Griffin, a song with a slow and grabby melody, makes me feel better! 
      What is strange about it though, is that there is no rhyme or reason to what song will be in my head! Sometimes it's commercial jingles. Sometimes it's melodies I've obviously made up. And sometimes it's songs from a long time ago....songs I haven't heard for years! It's as if my poor brain got bored while I was sleeping and decided to write and play a movie, but needed some theme music. And while it was filing through the music in my head to see which song would fit best with my dream movie...I woke up!! LOL 
      This morning the song was Oh Sherrie by Steve Perry, of the group Journey...This song wasn't that unusual though, because I heard it being played somewhere the other day when I was online. I didn't mentally register it at the time, but I guess my brain filed it away until this morning. It was playing loud and strong in my head this morning when I woke up....over and over and over! It was as if Steve Perry was screaming at me!! ^_^
     Some mornings I kinda like it when this happens. I mean, who doesn't want The Book of Love by Peter Gabriel playing in their head while they're eating their breakfast?! :-) So, I just go with it!...The problem is when it's a song I DON'T want in there!!! Then it's a lot of work trying to get it out of my head!!! LOL
    Oh well! I guess I could have worse problems, right?! ^_^ So, let there be music!!! Hey! We have to have some way to 'Express Ourselves'!!! (Express Yourself by Charles Wright)....Something tells me that I'm not going to be the only one with a song in my brain after this post! ^_^ Go forth and boogie everybody!!!
     {I know you've seen this poem numerous times.....but it fit this morning! What can I say? My head is full of music, not words, this morning. :-) * Get out of my head Steve Perry!!!!! ^_^ * 


Its The Beat

The syncopated rhythm
of the tapping of your feet,
and the snapping of your fingers
to the systematic beat
make the music that you're  hearing
(that you think is kinda neat)
motivate your body's  swaying,
and you have to leave your seat;
Now you're dancing back and forth,
and causing rising body heat.
And it's all from a beat-
Yes, one syncopated beat!
