The soundtrack of your life
Aug. 5th, 2008 02:58 pmIt has been a while since I posted anything. In fact it has been a while since I interacted with the world in more than the minimum work-eat-sleep cycle. A friend even rang me up on the weekend to see if I was OK - so quiet had I been. It isn't a big mystery though. Like so many of you, I have had a dose of the flu or some such virus and it has been quite draining. The debilitating after effects have slowed me down so that I don’t really have the energy for much beyond the minimum to get through a day.
Anyway, I'm not trolling for sympathy here. Why I have summoned up the energy to write is because it seems at times like this the soundtrack of my life becomes more obvious. There are songs which seems to come to mind in certain life circumstances which complement my state of mind. Do any of you do that? Have songs or bits of songs that spring into your mind given certain triggers?
Anyway, the song which has been coming to mind in the last week or two has, of all things, been the theme song to Petticoat Junction. Why? Well it contains the line "...and that's uncle Joe, he's movin' kinda slow ...at the junction". Just think of me as being like old Joe - I'm movin' kinda slow.
I suppose I should be glad that another of those songs isn't coming into play. I know things are really bad when the soundtrack for the day is Magazine’s Song from under the floorboards. It starts "I am angry, I am ill and I'm as ugly as sin. My irritability keeps me alive and kicking".
What is your soundtrack today?
