O mio babbino caro

I don’t listen to a lot of classical music, but this instrumental version of “O mio babbino caro,” with violin by Joshua Bell, came on while I was driving today and made me cry. Lovely.

Remain as the Child (Video)

A recording of a short poem I wrote several years ago. A friend had invited me to a poetry event, so I put together this poem the day before, but I never ended up reading it at the event. Time has passed, but I thought it might still be nice to share. Enjoy.

(Oops – I accidentally transpose the words “sun” and “moon” in my reading.)

Car Karaoke

My car is old enough that it has a built-in CD player. Earlier this summer, for my birthday, my brother got me a few CDs to add to my little console collection. Now I’ve got Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez sandwiched between a CD of my pianist-friend playing Chopin and the complete set of Beatles albums.

One of my favorite things about driving is putting on music and zipping around town (or even better, meandering down back country roads), letting the lyrics and melody transform the whole experience. It just adds a little magic to life, don’t you think? (Bonus points if you can identify the song I’m listening to here. Ignore how crazy I look.)

What Was I Made For?

“Think I forgot how to be happy – something I’m not, but something I can be.” This music video is so simple, but the part when it suddenly starts raining really touched me. From the new Barbie movie.
