I've always hated "favourite" questions. What's your favourite colour? book? movie? day of the week? As if I could ever pick just one of anything. There are so many wonderful things in the world that picking just one always seemed impossible.
The most difficult "favourite" question to me was favourite song. If music is the soundtrack of your life, mirroring all the emotions of life, how are you ever supposed to pick just.one.song. forever and ever amen?! My "favourite songs of all time list" would be about 50 songs long while there was the short list of "favourite songs du jour" and also the "omg I forgot that song existed but it's TOTALLY one of my favourites!!!" list.
But on Feb. 26th, 2009 I had an epiphany. If pressed to answer the question, there *is* one song I could select as my favourite. A song I have loved since I first heard it years ago. A song that I have consistently loved and wanted to hear. A song I've often forgotten about whenever trying to generate a list of favourite songs, but a song I always come back to. A song that appeals to various parts of me, various moods. A song that always makes me feel good. AND! A song that comes in its normal version (which is mellow if you need mellow, or peppy if you need peppy - the perfect chameleon of a song) AND a dance version for those times you just need to let it go.
I'm listening to it now. And the remnants of the crappy day are drifting away. And as soon as I finish this blog post, I will restart it and dance to
Like a Prayer
