The Vacation Playlist

"Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic far beyond all we do here! 
-Albus Dumbledore

My ENTIRE vacation, I had two songs stuck in my head.


Elton John's Circle of Life from the Lion King and that beyond irritating Christmas song that goes:


"laaast Christmas, I gave you my heart and the very next daaaay you gave it awaaaay. Thiiis year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special"


Yuck. I hate Christmas music. And the strangest thing is, the Christmas song and Circle of Life melded into one and I'd hum one then seamlessly transition to the other. Drove my family insane.



No matter how I feel, who I'm with, where I am, what I'm doing music has a place. And though my musical needs can be fulfilled solely by Coldplay, I am a man of variety.
