51/365 Helplessly Hoping

Stand by the stairway
You’ll see something
Certain to tell you confusion has its cost

Alliteration much? This CSN song almost feels sappy, but manages to fall short of that for me. The three lines above are lovely in their movement from S to T to C sounds. I can listen to this over and over again, only to trip at the sound of goodbye.

I HEART this song and love alliteraion. For me it is smooth and pleasing to sing along with CSN.

Now it's off to my writing class. We are going on a field trip today. One of my teacher's students is having a book signing and reading this morning.

We used to listen to this song driving to school back in high school... thinking back it's sort of a weird song for four kids to be listening to on Ogden Ave, but we liked it.

I almost felt like I was in a karaoke bar watching this; it was those lyrics at the bottom of the screen, I guess.

To answer your question...the dream car was a Dodge Stratus. I know...that's probably not most people's dream, but I've wanted one for years.

Hopefully, I'll be starting the song blog in the next few days! Thanks for all your support!
