This amazing song was the one that my ex and I used, 12 years ago today, to mark our wedding day. Listening to it now, and hearing these words:
"At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song"
I recognize that my love did come along, and we shared a lot of love and created two beautiful children together before things went sour.
And I recognize that although my lonely days are not over, life is indeed like a song. Today's song was once, for me, a super romantic my-heart-is-filled-with-love song, and now it's a bittersweet and heartbreaking song, but I know that tomorrow there'll be another song, or a different spin on an old one.
You can listen here to Etta belt out the original, or you can watch the incredible beauty Beyonce doing a cover. Enjoy!

After being blown away by an exhibit where a man took a polaroid of himself every day for ten years, I started thinking of other ways to mark the passage of time in a meaningful way for both the artist doing the marking and those taking note. I find a lot of meaning in music, and enjoy writing about my experiences, so I decided to start a blog in which I mark (many of) my days by choosing a song that captures the day in some way (and a link, whenever possible, so you can listen to the song too).
