The Perfect Song For Today

I'm sitting here at my computer desk pondering if I should leave the house for a bit now that my hellish day at work is through. (Nothing went right today, but I guess you'll have those kinds of days, right?)

I have The Moody Blues (who else?) playing on my winamp and The Actor came on. This is one of my favorite Moodies songs, for some strange reason. I can't pinpoint why I like certain songs better than others, but this is a favorite of mine. And listening to it today, I thought about how it really suits the day.

The Actor

The curtain rises on the scene
With someone shouting to be free
The play unfolds before my eyes
There stands the actor who is me

The sleeping hours takes this part
Through traffic, telephones and fear
Put out your problems with the cat
Escape until a bell you hear

Our reasons are the same
But there's no-one we can blame
For there's nowhere we need go
And the only truth we know comes so easily

The sound I have heard in your hello
Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me
Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see
Ah, ah, ah

It's such a rainy afternoon
No point in going anywhere
The sounds just drift across my room
I wish this feeling I could share

It's such a rainy afternoon
She sits and gazes from her window
Her mind tries to recall his face
The feeling deep inside her grows

Our reasons are the same
But there's no-one we can blame
For there's nowhere we need go
And the only truth we know comes so easily

The sound I have heard in your hello
Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me
Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see
The sound I have heard in your hello
Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see
Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me
Ah, ah, ah

The Actor

And I think I agree with Justin...it's such a rainy afternoon/evening, no point in going anywhere.
