What is the song or poem weighs up how you feel today??

Took me a bit to figure out what The Moody Blues had to do with @AMKuska (I have that album!)

i have a few of their albums (on cd), 8 of them... i haven't even looked at how many they have out now. it's just a question of balance...

now i have a stitch in my side from giggling

these have been added to my playlist the past month, they're nice background music to mix in with the rest:

groan Pretty clever, I see what you did there!

I only have Every Good Boy Deserves Favour and Seventh Sojourn... on vinyl.

Nice! Will play this while I work this morning. The cover looks intriguing; makes me wish that we watched television...

So nice!

i have been off my usual routine for music the past month. forced to use my home computer play list a lot more. yesterday was Enya, but i really do need to find some other music.

sometimes i just like background space/new age type music like:

i turn the resolution way down because i usually am not watching, but listening.

Could be me!
The walrus was Paul! Lest you forget .

i never understood that song and have not gotten into the history or whys of it... some things for me are ok to remain just odd or unknown. when someone asks me if i know everything (because i tend to stick my answers in conversations even about rhetorical questions) i can always say no. this is why...

The story is that John Lennon intended the song to be completely ambiguous. No, that isn't a strong enough term. Well, "in your face" is probably a bit too strong but John was certainly asserting himself artistically. The result was that some folks took an immediate dislike towards the song.

I was one who responded with a "What!?!" But then, I let it slide. That John later claimed that the walrus was Paul, I just shrugged off.

Confusion about identity after trauma makes "sense," however. We sometimes are surprised by animals responding in somewhat of a human way. But, even plants respond to trauma.

I don't know how traumatic it is to feel that it is necessary to adjust to the new but I was really feeling that yesterday. Population and technology changes, dang. I absolutely cannot be stuck in "the way it used to be" thinking or my experience in the modern world is gonna really be limited!

Thankfully, many people will make allowances for me because they recognize the "conditions" but adapting and adjusting will be personally necessary or I may as well just replace that Spanish woman who crawled out of a cave after her 500 day adventure.

I have it:

It is language which speaks in literature, in all its swarming 'polysemic' plurality, not the author himself.” ~ Terry Eagleton

polysemic , uh ... polysemic, John Lennon's attempt
