My favorite sounds. . .

 My favorite sounds include:

Windchimes
Thunder
The voice of Morrissey which—though it may sound bleating to those who are not aesthetically disposed—sounds confiding to me. Have you heard his early solo song, "Interesting Drug"? Amazing. 

It's my first song of the day for today.


The dramatic voice Savannah puts on when I draw a sad face: "Oh no. He's sad."
The sound of Minecraft from the other room which means that, though I may be a neglectful parent sometimes, Alex is alive and thriving in a pixelated universe.
Bernie Sanders voice, which though East Coast accenty and yellish, sounds dulcet to me because he recognizes that some change is in order.
"Down by the Sea" by Men at Work. This song, showcasing the virtuoso vibrato of frontman Colin Hay,  is my sonic patronus, and I bring it out when I need peace. If I ever did yoga while listening to it I'd probably explode into a cloud of light and love. It's my second song of the day.




Bruce Broughton's score to a lesser-known but awesome Steven Speilberg production, "Young Sherlock Holmes."
and finally, Johnny Lydon's cockney accent in the Public Image Limited song "Rise" when he insists, repeatedly, that, "Anger is an energy," only he says it like this: "Anger is an ener-jay!" This PIL joint is my third song of the day.
