[323/366] sing

[cosmolinguist]

18 When did you last sing to yourself? to someone else?

I sang along with a Spotify playlist in the shower and getting dressed (Janelle Monáe's "Tightrope," "Stand" by R.E.M., "Born to Run," and then that reminded me I wanted to play "U Don't Dans 2 Tekno" so I can remember the words by the time of the next goth bonfire...it was all very Me).

I don't really sing to other people. I'm not sure when I last did that. Does starting in on "Don't You Want Me" at the last goth bonfire when Sarah said "Cosmo! We need some more 80s cheese!" count? (I'm not sure why I was the most reliable person to summon another song, but as soon as she said this I belted out "You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar!" so I guess her faith in me wasn't misplaced.)

I have not heard "U Don't Dans 2 Tekno", so I'll go look for that, but also, solid choice on 80s cheese there.

It's not 80s or cheese (not everything we sang that night was, mostly just "Living on a Prayer" and then my "Don't You Want Me"), but it's a fun song from an album I'm very fond of, Alabama 3's Exile on Coldharbour Lane.

The acoustic version from "The Last Train to Mashville vol 2" is great too.

Ooh I didn't know that was on Spotify, now I've been listening to it today too. :)

It was not at all what I was expecting, given the title, so that was also an experience. Thank you for expanding my musical horizons.

Cosmo brings the 80s cheese sounds like it belongs on an enamel pin.

[cosmolinguist]

I don't though! I'm honestly not sure why I was called upon for this. :) I'm also gonna get more confident at the words to "Dancing in the Dark", having been assured Springsteen would go over well with this crowd. :) And I don't think that's cheesy but a lot of people probably would.

I hum to myself every day, often. It's one of my 'stims'. Singing words aloud? Less often. But W and I sang a few phrases of some song back and forth the other day on a walk. Just being silly. Can't remember what it was.

I sing to myself a lot, and now D is in the house more or less all the time, he gets sung at too.
