Music
Music often elevates my spirit.
A catchy tune, and smooth lyrics launch me into a memory, or sometimes rotates the axis of my view point. I tend to interpret reality in shades of gray. I’d like to be optimistic. I work at it. But, my body, the experience that has accrued over the years imposes a bias toward the negative… I don’t think this is a matter of reason at all. Possibly, upbringing, chance has more to do with whether one is essentially a “positive” person, or whether one can never be the-life-of-the-party.
However when Dancing Queen by Abba is played over the streaming service, imagination fills with a scene of eternal youth and sizzling exuberance.
Friday night and the lights are lowLooking out for a place to goWhere they play the right musicGetting in the swingYou come to look for a kingAnybody could be that guyNight is young and the music’s highWith a bit of rock musicEverything is fineYou’re in the mood for a danceAnd when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
This one is thunder and lightning, – Alone by Heart.
