Voices In My Ear

I woke at 4:30 which is getting to be a habit lately. One that sucks. I turned up the heat; turned on the Keurig; looked out the door to see if the snow had indeed found us; closed the door knowing I had no need for a carrot for the snowman’s nose; I opened all the window blinds in anticipation of the morning light; and I turned on the music for, unbeknownst to me at that moment, it was to be a music day. So, as the blackness of the late night slowly turned into gray dawn, I have had various voices singing in my ear. Music days are a major distraction and I will shake out of it soon unless I decide to write – then the music helps steer me sometimes although the currents it creates are sometimes not navigable. Lord, Lord, I love music days; Lord, Lord, I hate music days.

Music comes to me on Spotify. When I need to smile (like on a music day), I merely have to look at the titles I have given to my various playlists.

Actually a sunset rather than a dawn but it’s the thought that counts. 🙂

My Hot Ones For Now
Songs I’ll Never Sing Again
Things Time Won’t Heal
Where Are You Songs
A Drink In One Hand; A Pen In the Other Songs
Hallelujah by Everyone Who Can Sing
Oh, My God, It’s Willie
Surprising Voices That Touched Me
Long Nights With Tom Waits
Just Kill Me Now Songs

Time to fight my way out of the currents the music has generated.
