I explained nothing
Jul. 28th, 2025 07:39 amLooking back at yesterday's thrilling saga post, it occurred to me that it had not exactly been clear.
My intent was to say 'wow, I heard that song and it made me realize how much I missed hearing songs I knew, which motivated me to do a thing I've been meaning to do for ten days and which has already improved my daily joy; thanks, song!'
What I actually said was 'I heard a song I knew on a radio station, and that motivated me to move the radio so I could listen to a different station'
(not EXACTLY the same vibe, I now realize)
TO CLARIFY: WHAT A GREAT SONG!
1. nostalgia factor, heck yeah
2. when I get a song stuck in my head, it's usually about three lines of the song -- that song only has three lines, so I've got the WHOLE THING, which is great
3. I am listening to the radio right now!
