I posted this on August 3rd on Comic Book World. Lyrics are over there if you want them.
I just went back there, and listened. And listened again. And then again.
I don't mean to get all freaky and rama-lama-ding-dong and stuff, but every now and again, I'll get a... vibration from the universe. Just a little "bzzzzt" in my ear. Sitting still a lot helps me to pay attention to those little rumbles. I think maybe this might have been one of them. It's a good thing I was paying attention. A really good thing.
Maybe I was picking up on one of those vibes when I chose to post this song. (I do remember I was sitting in the Hotel Monaco in Portland, OR, late at night, confused about my own whereabouts after a week and a half of traveling, maybe slightly tipsy from having wine with my vendor, and probably feeling quite lonely and ungrounded from not having been home for so long.)
So I chose, as usual, a much-loved song to settle myself. Music hath charms and all that...
Thought it was worth posting again.

You know how powerfully that applies to me. And yeah, as I shed decades of being father to my surrogate mother and come to the edge of the forest and look out into the sunlight, I'm pretty happy about it.
You'd think if I mixed a few more metaphors I could cook up some song lyrics or something.
One of the commenters on Youtube says you can listen to this song and it can either be the most optimistic or the most depressing song you've ever heard.
I've always heard it as a "half-full," song, but then again, I think that's how I look at life in general.
"And you say,"Just be here now
Forget about the past
Your mask is wearing thin"
Let me throw one more dice
I know that I can win"
Pretty.
