Day 1: A favorite song

   Wow, this is hard! I have so so so many songs that I absolutely love, it's hard to pick a favorite, so I'll just go with the one that I currently am infatuated with. ;)

   It would probably help if I told you the name of the song, wouldn't it? I'll give you a hint--it's by Owl City, and its name sounds suspiciously like Greetings-Popular-Metropolis-in-Washington!

   Hello Seattle. <3

   I've never even been to Seattle, but the song is so beautiful and reflective and poetic I just love putting it on endless loop and letting it lull me to sleep on rainy nights. I could go into great depth describing all the powerful adjectives used to portray the different things that make the city so meaningful to the songwriter, but I don't want to give it all away before you go listen to it here. :)

Hello Seattle, I am an

albatross

on the docks, and moored boats

I sail above

your inlets and interstates

through the rain and open wind.

Hello Seattle, I am

an old lighthouse,

throwing beams of bright lights

red in the morning, blue in the

evening sun

taking heed for everyone.

Hello Seattle, I am the

crescent moon

shining down

on your

face.
