Today, I'm feeling musical.
I'm sure most people find music is able to make them feel better - and I'm no exception.
Miss 3 is going through a very clingy stage at the moment, and it makes day care drop off time painful.
You'd think I was leaving her on the side of the road and moving to Bolivia without giving her a forwarding address.
I know she can feel things changing, and she's not too sure what to think of it all. Fair enough - I'm her Mum and some days I wake up not knowing what to think of everything that's going on! But we have to keep plodding along for a little bit longer.
Everything will be okay. It's my mantra at the moment.
So I've been spending some time today listening to music that makes me feel happy, and I thought I'd share a few of my selections with you.
You know, because I can.
So first up is a bit of Powderfinger with Lost and Running...
It more or less describes how I'm feeling at the moment - but makes me want to smile and dance.
Then we're moving on with some of The Strokes, with You Only Live Once...
I think I mostly just love the guitar rifts in this song...
And of course, Empire of the Sun. Miss 3 and I dance to this regularly...
I don't understand the video clip. Never have and most likely never will. I always consider them to be the musical version of 'The Matrix'. I didn't understand those movies either, despite the amount of time The Man dedicated to trying desperately to explain it all to me.
And lastly, one from my youth that Miss 3 loves to listen to...let's hear it Barnes-y!
How can you not smile when you hear that??
