It’s only as an adult that I realize how much music played a part of my childhood, particularly the music my mother listened to. It stays with you, the songs you learn as a wee one. I remember, about 2 years ago one of my nieces got an MP3 player, and had a Beach Boys song on it.

This flabbergasted my mother, who asked “why does she have THAT on there?”, to which my sister replied, “She likes that song because *I* like that song!” It brought to mind all the many songs I love today because my mom loved them and played them at home.

This is part ONE:

The music of John Williams sung a cappella (lyrics as a tribute to star wars)….

This

totally made me cry.

So did this.

I am totally kealous of americans right now.  Because Obama WILL win, and he will kick ass.

I’m talking to you.

On the page, in my head,

Words forming even sometimes

On my lips.

Foolishly emotional

Laid bare for all the world to see,

Unable to stop it

Unable to stop

Myself.

Too many times

Spent wincing

With regret and resolve

Too many times

Forgiving myself

And you

For not being there.

Yet I keep talking.

Are you listening?

I am Canadian, and have no direct horse in this fight, but wow do I hope Obama wins.  He is ridiculously charismatic, and aims to bring about the change the States drastically need.

The fact that he won this nomination and gave this speech 45 years to the day after Dr. King gave his “I have a Dream” speech, blows my mind.

Testing one, two, three…..

God.  I’m probably sadder than my friend.

3 and a half months?  Really?  Man times flies.
