Remember when I analysed the lyrics to Falling Down Blue several months ago and said that the next song I analysed would be happy? I lied. Lucy Roche Wainwright commented at a workshop that her mother once asked her if she could possibly write a happy song. Lucy complied but said that she always feels a bit weird singing it. I kind of feel the same way about analysing happy songs. At any rate, I would like to introduce the Song Lyric of the Day (the SLOD for short, original I know. Living with an astronomer is having a bad effect on my creativity). Every day I'll post a lyric and comment on it. Or I won't. It will depend on how I feel about things at the time of posting. In honour of Lucy, my first lyric will be one of hers.
