Music Monday #9

I know that I said on the Facebook page that Thursday's post would serve as a precursor for a sunny song for today, but as fate would have it, Old Man Winter has decided to make one final appearance before Spring really starts. Thus, I have bundled up those sunny vibes in scarves and boots. Nevertheless, I'm still in a rather warm mood, and hopefully today's choice for Music Monday will evoke a similar sentiment.

A brief background first. I've mentioned before that I often come across wonderful bits of wisdom at the place where I work. The other day I had another such experience. One guy hadn't seen the other in a while, and they joked about getting older and forgetting each other's names, but never forgetting the stories they've shared over the years. One guy joked, "Hey man, did you forget your wife's name when you first met her, too?" The other laughed, and replied, "Of course not!" Then, the conversation took a reflective turn, and the guy went on to share with us (admittedly after my gentle encouragement...) the story of how he met his wife. He commented on how long they had been married and what he felt was the secret to their strong marriage: good communication and respect. The other guy agreed, and summed up that basically all of that - the respect, the value, the adoration - it all creates a lifelong love. I was so overjoyed that they decided to have that entire conversation in front of me! It was just so inspiring!

So, reflecting upon that a few days later and recalling my love for a lot of Kate Nash songs, I present to you this Monday's music selection: "Birds" by Kate Nash. It's so pleasant and playful and descriptive and just plain adorable when you listen to the back-and-forth between the young lovebirds. And, I'm also making up for not really doing Valentine's Day justice with a post; sorry, I was still in Galentine's Day mode, probably. Nonetheless, here it is!

Favorite Line (because it's so simple after all the lengthy explanation):
"She said 'thanks, I like you, too'. He said, 'cool'."
