I'm not one to follow up on chain letters... sending me one is certain death for it. But somehow, these list memes fascinate me. And since I seem to be getting all of nothing done at my desk today, I might as well fill some time with this, no?
The game goes like this:
Instructions:
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now.
Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.
Right off the top of my head, this one has been running through my mind today:
Billy Squire - Christmas Is the Time to Say I Love You *
I will add more through the day as I come up with them... I really should be working -
Burl Ives - Lavender Blue
Shivaree - Goodnight Moon
Hoo boy, are the songs in my head ever eclectic... what can I say?
{Day two three of meme... Thursday 22 December}
Madeleine Peyroux - Dance Me to the End of Love
{Day three four of meme... Friday 23 December}
Jude Cole - The Speed of Life
(eh, here I am again on the 29th - day nine, trying to wrap this thing up.)
Frank Sinatra - That's Life
One more. One more... Hmmm... Might be time to run through my CDs looking for favorites...
Whew, here we go, via Radio Paradise:
Simon and Garfunkel - El Condor Pasa
And done.
Can you tell by the songs that have held my interest that I've been a bit existential of late? Call it midlife, I guess. It's been that kind of year.
But I'd rather be a forest than a street. I surely would.

Christmas Is the Time to Say I Love You
Billy Squire
Christmas is the time to say I love you
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say I love you
And a feeling that will last all through the year
On the corner carolers are singing
There's a touch of magic in the air
From grownup to minor no one could be finer
Times are hard but no one seems to care
Christmas Eve and all the world is watching
Santa guides his reindeer through the dark
From rooftop to chimney, from Harlem to Bimini
They will find a way into your heart
Christmas is the time to say I love you
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say I love you
And a feeling that will last all through the year
Just outside the window snow is falling
But here beside the fire we share the glow
Of moonlight and brandy, sweet talk and candy
Sentiments that everyone should know
Memories of the year that lays behind us
Wishes for the year that's yet to come
And it stands to reason that good friends in season
Make you feel that life has just begun
Christmas is the time to say I love you
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say I love you
And a feeling that will last all through the year
So when spirits grow lighter
And hopes are shinin' brighter
Then you know that Christmas time is here
