If life were a song

The rain that wakes me up in the morning; the sun that peeps through the slit; the music that plays in the background; the wish that life were a song.

Years and years of music that went through my ears (to such an extent that my friends point out that my hearing has impaired to some extent), thousands of catalogues that I went through, hours that I spent waiting in the line to get into that big gig-in-town and I realized what life would be like if there was no music.

There would be no Tequila Sunrise and there would be no one to Start Me Up and make me cognizant of the Morning Glory that lay ahead. No Fourth Time Around for All I Lost. No one to tell me that We’re Gonna Groove at times when I sat Dazed and Confused. Sitting, Waiting, Wishing wouldn’t have been that easy had there not been The Everyday Love Song that made you learn Walking The Blue.

I would have never realized the joy of singing Somebody Else's Song and shouting Fuck the World just to accept at the end that it’s just a Cynical World, the World Where You Live.

No one to make me stop thinking about What Will They Say and let me fly away Up in the Sky, Flying in a Blue Dream, shouting Don't You Know Who I Think I Am At the Top of My Lungs

And, as Louis Armstrong sang, no one to remind me –

Don't Forget To Mess Around.
