chanaleh: (sleeping)
Quick update before our 10am meeting: recovering cold blahblah ) 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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"

    And, in a variation on the theme, dig the LJ Haiku I just got: )
