it's been a somewhat challenging last several days as i've fluctuated between being in a good emotional state and a not so great one. thoughts of loneliness and isolation have co-mingled with the enjoyment of the holiday season.
i thought tonight's song, which i imagine at the time was an unusual choice for a holiday album, might provide a break from the gloom that has descended in the quiet of each night. it's a song that comes from one of the most beloved movie musicals of all time, and here is magnificently performed by without a doubt one of the greatest singers of all time.
i have to admit that it's not easy for me to follow the advice proffered by this song (and i believe the tone of this arrangement captures that dynamic quite well), but for tonight at least, i will try my very best.
