Do you love me? Will you love me forever? Will you leave me? Will you never leave me? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? Will you take me away and make me your wife? I’m not proud that this is what sprang to mind, and I don’t vouch for accuracy. 🙂 ---

[Lass mich Dein Pirat sein](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peMN74eEVks&p=08AD75BBB85825FA&playnext=1&index=40). Play this song if you wish to float off into deep sleep. It’s a lullaby. Excellent sax. ---

“Excellent Sax” on the lake is probably desirable, in Vermonter dialec6t, also. Maybe you need some tension lines. ---

… bloody hell, **Bambi** , that song was the anthem for a project I worked in, specifically the chorus… (no, that project was not going well, in fact it’s become legendary in Spain as an example of How Not To Be A Manager and How To Piss Off The Client, why do you ask?) I thought of a piece of West Side’s Story “I feel pretty”, which was my earworm until **Bambi** ’s post kicked it out, but half of my knowledge of the lyrics is limited to “lalalala”. ---

_Every day just comes and goes/life’s just one long overdose . . . ._ I’m not sure that’s 100% correct, but that’s what I heard in my mind and in any case it’s pretty darn close. It’s from an uplifting old Black Sabbath song that I haven’t listened to in years . . . but it’s the first thing that popped into my head. ---
