Yesterday was just one of those days that turned out great but I can’t explain why. Poised on that uncomfortable fence between obsessively planning to write the fourth book in the Crater Lake Series and actually starting to write said book, suddenly, inexplicably, I broke through. With the upbeat lyrics of American Authors in the background, as the smell of freshly mowed grass drifting in the window, I managed a few thousand words that are definitely going somewhere.
Once again, I was back at Crater Lake and the characters so filled my thoughts that I had to drop everything and stroll the paths around our place in an attempt to untangle the various knotted threads that represent their lives. It was then I knew, I had vaulted that uncomfortable fence. I was on my way.
Just in case you have any lingering Monday morning blues, I’ll share the lyrics from American Authors – Best Day of My Life. Follow along to the You Tube link and I’m sure that in no time you’ll be up and dancing around the room. Enjoy!
Best Day Of My Life
I had a dream so big and loud
I jumped so high I touched the clouds
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I stretched my hands out to the sky
We danced with monsters through the night
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I’m never gonna look back
Whoa, I’m never gonna give it up
No, please don’t wake me now
Oo-o-o-o-oo
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My life
Oo-o-o-o-oo
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My life
I howled at the moon with friends
And then the sun came crashing in
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh
But all the possibilities
No limits just epiphanies
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I’m never gonna look back
Whoa, I’m never gonna give it up
No, just don’t wake me now
Oo-o-o-o-oo
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My life
Oo-o-o-o-oo
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My life
I hear it calling outside my window
I feel it in my soul
The stars were burning so bright
The sun was out ’til midnight
I say we lose control
Oo-o-o-o-o
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My life
Oo-o-o-o-o
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My life
This is gonna be, this is gonna be, this is gotta be
The best day of my life
Everything is looking up, everybody up now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My life

That’s such a great song, Fran!
Just thinking about it gets my toe tapping 🙂
And I was thinking of the song I Do I Do I Do – by ABBA?
Oh-oh – I’ll have that one running through my mind all day. What do they call that? Earworm. EEEKKK. Maybe we need to make a playlist of toe tappers.
i’m happy to hear
that little feel good
song, thanks 🙂
Upbeat moves the feet and all is good in the world!
What an uplifting song – I love it, Francis! 😀
Glad you like it, Dianne. Sometimes I think that getting in the right frame of mind is 90% of the battle of getting down to writing. Music can be a very effective path.
