The sunny side of the street
I think 3AW's overnight music people are trying to mock me. WHERE, exactly, is does one find the "sunny side of the street" at 1.58am on a Wednesday in the middle of winter? WHERE?!? Yet that's the song they think is appropriate to lead into the 2am news. HOW DO THEY EXPECT ME TO MAKE MY LIFE SO SWEET AND/OR COMPLETE?!
After two swinging-piano tap-dancey verses, however, I was actually feeling quite sunny.
The lesson? HAPPY MUSIC MAKES YOU HAPPY! If only I'd realised that as an angst-ridden 14-year-old, staying up late to listen to Matchbox 20 moping about the 3am hour. A few more handclaps and less anguished whining, and I could have turned out a very different girl.
*STOP PRESS: My recipe for instant happiness isn't quite foolproof. After hanging outside a murder scene in Lara for four freezing hours on Thursday morning, my frame of mind was definitely not on the sunny side of the street. As I finally pulled away and onto the highway home, 774 started playing Here Comes the Sun. Happy song, yes? I burst into tears.
Damn, just when you think you've found the path for world peace.. it's just never that simple, is it?
