About two months ago...

Sometime in late 2014, on a Saturday morning, I found myself walking around the house quietly singing a song to myself. I didn't think much of it until my wife turned to me and said "You know, it's been a real adventure the past 15 years to discover what song you're going to sing to yourself every morning."

I protested that it didn't happen nearly that often, but she assured me that most mornings, I had some tune or another stuck in my head, and they rarely repeated.

So, I decided to do a daily blog post about the song I have in my head each day, just to see where it leads.

Clusters of crocus, purple and gold

Blankets of pansies, Out from the cold. Lilies and iris, Safe from the chill. Safe in my garden, Snowdrops so still.

This will - always and forever - be my favorite musical, due to the final scene. I won't spoil it for anyone who's not had a chance to see it for themselves, but I will say that I weep every time I see it, hear it, or even think of it.

This part isn't particularly my favorite part of the musical (it's simplye the very beginning), but in my dream last night I was trapped inside a box, and to keep myself from going mad I sang every musical I could think of. In the dream, I went through every musical I could think of three times, and had wrapped around to start again on my fourth trip through, and was singing this particular song, when I woke for the morning.

Listen to it on on Spotify.
