because it's Tuesday, and I need a bit of cheering up

Inspired by http://twopaddocks.com/team-tunes.shtml#BenedictCumberbatch Yes, I'm going there.

Top ten songs I'm really into right now:

1. Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill

2. The Proclaimers' I'm On My Way

3. Duran Duran's Ordinary World

4. The Marvelettes' Too Many Fish in the Sea

5. The Beatles' Blackbird

These five have been anthems since the autumn when Phil and I split and Boo-Cat died. They're all songs about transition, changing, adjusting, and finding (or being led to) something better ahead than what's behind.

6. Yes, Trina likes a country song. (Actually, I like TWO country songs; this is one of 'em.) The Eagles' How Long.

7. Do I need a reason for Stevie Wonder? I thought not. Go forth and dance to Superstition.

8. I sure as hell am not going to let any top ten list go by without Eric Clapton in there somewhere! Here's Broken Hearted.

9. I'm one-upping Benedict here: Debussy's Clair De Lune, but performed by the brilliant Victor Borge. The Clown Prince of Denmark was a genius.

10. You can count on the Moody Blues for two things: versatile rock and the best-looking lead singer on the planet. Lovely to See You!

And now all I see are the hundreds of pieces I like just as much that I left off. Not just songs, but classical music pieces and tracks from film scores that I listen to a lot. Oh, well.
