I think I would share with you a link to the two songs I just listened to as I settle into the evening.
The first was "Breath of Life" by Florence and the Machine (from Snow White and the Huntsmen).

The second is a classic, what I consider to be a truly great love song by Warren Zevon - Suzie Lightning.

I've been a fan of Zevon for a very long time, since the early eighties and "Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School". T.R. pointed me toward Florence and the Machine with their first album and I count myself a huge fan there as well. Florence Welch has the most astounding voice.
It was a nice day, quiet, easy going, reflective. Work was a little meeting heavy, but they went smoothly enough and I eased into the evening. Had Italian with Tony at Mama Mia's, then home where I watched Selma Blair on Craig Ferguson. That takes me to this very minute, where I am going to spend a quiet evening straightening the spare bedroom. Life is good.
"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)
