Feeling better, in most ways

[chanaleh]

Quick update before our 10am meeting: I'm feeling progressively healthier. Monday I came in to work late and left early. Tuesday I never came in at all, but lay on the couch trying unsuccessfully to gather my forces. Yesterday, finally, I worked a full day and had dinner with jon_libby and still had enough koach left to haul my laundry down the street at the end of the day.

It's been very weird for me to have No Energy -- physically or psychologically -- for several days running. But that's a rumination for another moment.

There have been several song-related memes going around of late: your six favorite songs, five songs you're currently "into"... I liked kvschwartz's version: "six -- no, make that seven -- Beatles songs that are usually (but certainly not always) among my top 10 favorite Beatles songs" (mine are in comments).

But what I want to know this morning is: What song(s) bespeak yearning to you?
It could be yearning for anything: love, home, meaning, the past, the future, another place. Something within reach, but out of your grasp. Anything missing, anything lost. Or anyone.

Among mine:

'Til Tuesday, "Coming Up Close"

Cat Stevens, "But I Might Die Tonight" (and a bunch of others of course, including most everything on Tea for the Tillerman)

Pink Floyd, "Wish You Were Here"

Crowded House, "Don't Dream It's Over"

Sister Hazel, "All for You"

REO Speedwagon, "Here With Me"

Indigo Girls: Oh, so many. "History of Us", "Love's Recovery", "Ghost", "Love Will Come To You", "Language Or The Kiss", "Mystery".

Into the Woods, "No One Is Alone"

EDIT: And, loosely continuing the theme, dig the LJ Haiku I just got:
