Yesterday I woke with the opening bass line of a song repeating in my head. It was just seven notes, but the rhythm was unmistakable. I instantly knew the bass player and the band involved, but for the life of me couldn't get the song name to come to mind. So, I reverted to asking Mr. Google and after a few minutes, I had my answer. It is interesting to have the largest encyclopedia in the world right at our fingertips, eh?
The song dealt with emotional aspects akin to anxiety. Now why would my brain choose to pick that seven notes to let me know that I am carrying some stress around with me? Was is trying to tell me something or simply acknowledging what I've known for some time. I will admit that this message made me smile. Listening to the full song helped me to relax and move forward with my day -- a day filled with errands and meetings. Luckily the weather was pleasant and dry for a change, so no weather conditions to interfere with the ability to drive and walk were present today. I am very ready for the precipitation events to stop freezing and becoming snow or freezing rain. The ice on the ground has been treacherous.
The song for today may create an earworm with its intro bass line. I enjoy the collaboration of the band with a solo artist. The video is a bit avant garde which one would expect from this solo artist. <smile> Keep safe. Enjoy!
