FOR A SONG

I heard a story on the radio today about favorite songs. Is it impossible to have one? My I-roster stats say that I have listened to one song, "I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio," by the Stereophonics, far more than any other. It contains one of my favorite lyric phrases of all time..."If I had myself a flying giraffe, you'd have one in a box with a window." That tune is in the treadmill list, but lately I have settled into some quieter music.

I wanted to get the buzz on your favorite 'love song.' Mine is "There We Are," by James Taylor. Why? It is simple and just so lovely to me. I never tire of hearing it.
