A song

Have you ever been standing in line somewhere and heard a song that normally would just be background noise and then just started to sing along? Well, I am sure that there are others out there that do this. It happens to me all the time. M, looks at me and says "You know this son?" in a not so flattering way.. yes it makes me feel old sometimes,, and sometimes it makes me feel experienced. Yes.. I know the words to a lot of songs.. and the other day I was at Home Depot... which I like to pronounce as if it was a french.. try it... Hom Depot... I have this habit of seeing signs with burned out bulbs and forever remembering how it used to look.. Like when the "Just Brakes" was missing a B... Just Brakes is forever Just rakes to me...

Anyway... the song was "Wondering where the Lion's are" by Bruce Cockburn {click the link and you can hear the entire song on his Website}, and I only knew the chorus and mumbled the rest. I had to look the album up and it brought back memories of the hundreds of times that I listened to his and the good feelings that it gave me. It was funny because just thinking about the album reminded me of Coronado in San Diego.. not because of my recent honeymoon there, but because of the times I went there right after High School... Yes.. I graduated from High School when this album (they didn't have CDs then) was released. M.. reminded me that she was 5 years old that year.

Well, I sent away for the CD on Amazon.com... a little gift for myself. It brings back memories of a time when I would sit in my room alone and listen to records over and over. I particularly liked this album because nobody else knew about it really... I think that the music that is on those tracks will still stand up today. We'll see... I am only going by memories of feelings.. not necessarily memories of the songs themselves.
