At first, Moz et al seem to be a big downer, but not really . . . underneath all that wonderfully self-indulgant drama is a gloriously resiliant spirit. <BR/><BR/>Philip Glass is another big part . . . the song "The Hours" from <I>The Hours</I> soundtrack, possibly one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, is a perfect summation of life. <BR/><BR/>Dazzling house music is also key.

I had never heard of her, so I went out and bought the cd. Of course. She became "ours" and that song still brings back those feelings after 22 years together. and honey, after 22 years, I NEED those feelings sometimes, cuz that man drives me nuts!<BR/><BR/>I also love the song, "I can't make you love me" by Bonnie Raitte. Her voice is so haunting and sad and the words...my god, the words. But that is such a depressing song, so don't listen to it.<BR/><BR/>Music has always been such a big thing with me, and I associate songs with everything that has happened in my life.<BR/><BR/>great post Jimbo!<BR/>xxooAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245554563405436101noreply@blogger.com
