Control
I’m beginning to be at peace with not being able to control what songs I have in my brain at a given time. And, given that work is a pretty big chunk of my weekdays, this is a big thing to give up on.
I admit, I listened to Sarah McLachlan pretty much non-stop this morning, and I have a pair of Vertical Horizon songs stuck in my head, not even singles at that: “Candy Man” and “Sunrays and Saturdays.” I don’t even particularly like “Candy Man,” and “Sunrays” is kind of the quintescential (ooh, I miss my Firefox spellcheck) Amicable Breakup song.
I will barely even utter the name Rush anymore, after “The Spirit of Radio” being stuck in my head for multiple days straight. I’m trying to type this paragraph as quickly as possible to avoid that happening again.
“Sunrays” even includes “We’ll get to know ourselves again” in the lyrics, just to show how quintescintially (ha!) it is a breakup song. That’s the part that just played in my head, and I think the CD has a skip.
I have trouble getting Mute Math stuck in my head, and that is generally what I’m after this week. So, we’ll see how things end up by Thursday.
