Mirrorball

I was so hypnotized by this song on the radio yesterday afternoon as I was driving that I nearly missed my exit.



Give it a few listens and then check out this live orchestral version. It brought tears to my eyes, which I know sounds cheesy, but it's the truth. How can you not sigh over these lines of how love transforms and enriches the ordinary:

You make the moon our mirrorball
The street's an empty stage
The city's sirens, violins
Everything has changed




(the song is "Mirrorball" by Elbow -- all the lyrics are beautiful)

Just Voicing Her Opinion...

Holly, watching Christina Aguilera sing the National Anthem at the Superbowl: "That singing is not beautiful."
