August 2, 2023 (Song #2041): T-1*: 

While combing through my list of the 600+ songs I’ve never posted,  I was confused when I realized that during the 5 ½ years and 2041 songs I’ve posted as a Song Of The Day, I never shared this song:  “Helplessly Hoping” written by Stephen Stills and performed by Crosby, Stills & Nash.

How is it possible that a song that’s brought me so much joy has been neglected? 

The answer can only be that the world is full of so much “good” music that it’s impossible to capture all of it in a finite amount of time. 

A similar, related answer is that I find most music in this world “good”, so the possibilities for connection are endless.

If you know me, you know that I feel that way about people, too.

So, there I am in a nutshell, on the day before my 60th birthday and the beginning of my seventh decade on this planet: I am a sponge for all things beautiful, fun, poignant, and relevant – which includes you.

Thank you for joining me on this “Sing Daily!” journey.

This song, along with “Closer To Fine” by the Indigo Girls (SOTD #12): “By My Side” (no lyric video) from Godspell (also never posted) and “You Can Close Your Eyes” by James Taylor (SOTD #108) are four of my favorite songs to sing with friends and family. If you see me on my birthday tomorrow, please sing along with me.
