Song for New Year's Eve
When thinking of which song to
post in order to kiss 2012 goodbye I didn’t have to think too hard. Even though
it’s only been with me for less than two months since I bought it, Cathy
Jordan’s All the Way Home has become
a regular feature on my playlist at home or in the car when I’m driving. I will
be blogging about this sublime album in the New Year for sure, but in the
meantime I shall leave you with the title-track. All the Way Home explains better than I could ever manage the
reason why, more than five and a half years later, I continue to blog. I see
us, bloggers, as peripatetic beings, travelling in a virtual world without
frontiers and without the need for a passport, either. However, we always
return to our point of departure. As the chorus of All the Way Home goes: “Maybe
it’s the mountains high above the valley/maybe it’s the long road that winds us
down/maybe it’s the sunbeams that kiss the water/maybe it’s you (blogger) that keeps callin’ me (to your) home”. For what I can only say: thank
you, thank you very much for welcoming me into your virtual home and sharing your
experiences with me. Happy New Year! May 2013 bring you health and success!

ReplyDeleteFirst time I've heard Cathy Jordan, thank you. Here's to 2013 and feeling at home.
Feliz Ano Nuevo!
ReplyDeleteI have been, and continue to be, awed by the warmth and the wonders I have found in the blogosphere. More human kindness than I had thought still existed.
ReplyDeleteHealth and happiness to you and yours for 2013 (and future years as well.)
Happy New Year. I'll come back and listen when I can - right now I'm in the same room as a TV watching person and have no headphones.
ReplyDeleteI'd not come across her although, as a Christy Moore fan, I'll probably find I'll like her.
Happy New Year, Cuban, and thank *you* for inviting us into your warm and interesting virtual home.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours an abundance of good things in 2013!

ReplyDeleteAnd here I was expecting Auld Lang Syne! I love your music, often so unexpected. I love this Cathy Jordan song and how you tie it to blogging, especially on a day that I heard a blog buddy of 5 years might quit. Keep blogging and sharing the music. Happy New Year, my friend!
