Headphones On

I will admit that "Summertime" is an odd choice of song to ring in the new year. I stepped out of the shower this afternoon, and I will admit, I had a tear in my eye. As I walked into my bedroom wrapped up in a towel I heard the familiar refrain....

"Don't cry, Don't cry, Don't cry No No No No. Don't cry, don't cry"

I had to pause for a minute, wondering how in the world Sam Cooke had come up on random at that very second. When my "WTF" feeling subsided the lyrics hit me again...

"One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing, you spread your wings and take to the sky. But until that morning there is nothing can harm you"

Does it really seem so inappropriate for the new year?

Buy some: Sam Cooke
