A Music Series Comes Back From The Dead

I had a series of posts under my first Steem account which was simply the song I woke up with in my head, along with a little story, the rest of the information about the series, and then the list of all of the songs.

Eventually, it got old, and I retired it. At the same time, I retired my first account. I mean, obviously it still exists, but I switched focus to other accounts. Mostly because the first one is just my name, and I didn't like that sort of transparency.

Anyway, I'm bringing the series back, but migrating it over here.

I don't know if this is something that is common with everyone or not, but I seemingly wake up with a song already in my head every single morning. There is often no reason why it should be there. I hadn't heard it in the previous day, hadn't discussed it, nothing.

This sounds more like a lullaby than a morning song, but I woke up with it in my head this morning.

Usually, it's not the whole song. Rather, just a line or two or a verse. In this instance, I had this verse in my head:

A mother in a market chases after children that she barely knows
While the father on the barstool, dropped off by his carpool, is playing a familiar role:
I used to be a conquering king. I watched the slow stars shoot & swing
When I'd wake, the world would sing. Now, I can't hear anything
So now its later than it needs to be
And while his stranger family sleeps
The king looks for his castle
Heaven bound & glory be

It sounds like a religious song, but it's not. Or it's written by someone who isn't religious, anyway.

A man in a hotel room, tangled to his teeth by the telephone
He's waiting on a woman, wondering what she's doing
And pacing so his pulse won't slow
He drums his legs and pulls his hair; he carves her dimples in the air
The raging world has spooked him scared, and he don't want her lost out there
So now it's later than it needs to be
And though his aching eyes want sleep
Against all rationality
Against everything he believes
He prays for her protection
Heaven bound & glory be
I pray for your protection
Heaven bound & glory be
