It's alright... It's alright... It's alright... yeah

I'm feeling a little bit sad this morning; thinking about old times, old friends, things not said, moments missed. When I get like this I sometimes turn to music to help channel what I feel, to articulate it, to lift my spirits.

There are couple of songs on The Rising [Springsteen] that I'm listening to now:

• one seemingly downbeat (Lonesome Day) and
  
• the other deliriously upbeat (Waitin' On A Sunny Day).

Both have the desired effect. Who needs happy pills?

To a bright new tomorrow!
