Sticking with the fire theme, I read this week that the Doors keyboardist, Ray Manzarek, died at 74, from cancer, and this was the song that starting playing internally:
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Lose? Funeral pyre? I really, really, wish that those lyrics didn't apply in the situation where my fire, pretty damn bright all by itself, got much higher than it's ever been before. Sometimes I just can't quite believe that it's happening this way...

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).
