• Muzak and All of Its Magic    
  

  ---

  
  
  Okay. So I don’t mean “muzak,” which is defined as that lovely blend of jazz and pop that is played in the elevators of the only the classiest of establishments…I just mean music. But writing and saying “muzak” makes me smile so that’s the only explanation I have.
  
  I’ve been thinking about the past year. Whoa! What a year. It’s been, and I know this is a well-worn cliche – a rollercoaster ride. But for each high and low, I seemed to have a song to go along with it. I don’t know why I am thinking about such a random thing…and I don’t even know why I am going to take the time to write the rest of this pointless entry….but if I could name one song to sum up the past year… I would probably go with the following…Now the words in this song don’t, in any way, encompass all of the emotions I felt this year, but it does for one brief, but very important time, in the year and so … without further ado, Abra Moore’s “Trip on Love” ..
  
  
  
  I let my guard down
  In a momentary lapse of emotion
  And it just slipped out
  That we both knew my heart could be broke
  
  I said something I never intended to say
  You stopped laughing
  And asked me, “do you feel alone in that way”
  
  Do you trip on love
  Do you run from magic
  When you kiss someone
  Do you make it tragic
  If you feel too much
  Do you start to panic
  When your word comes out
  Do you trip on love
  
  I just stood there
  Had expected another reaction
  Out of thin air
  In the strangest sense of satisfaction
  Can you tell me
  How you see me somewhere
  And if you held me
  Would you let me see a part of yourself
  
  Do you trip on love
  Do you run from magic
  When you kiss someone
  Do you make it tragic
  When you feel too much
  Do you start to panic
  When your word comes out
  Do you trip on love
  
  When we go
  Do we say
  This means less than we know it does
  Please tell me
  
  Do you trip on love?
