Songs with Words

I know that you cannot spent a lot of time in the darkness without bringing some of it with you when you come into the day, but it is inconvenient. One of those things that I now have and did not always is a complete inability to listen to songs with words in English without hearing them. And usually, this means I cry. How embarrassing I find this. Really, the number of occasions on which unprovoked tear shedding is appropriate is rather limited. And there are a lot of songs with words! And they are all over the place: the mall, the grocery store, the elevator. Sometimes though, they are happy words, and I am made glad. Fortunately, the number of occasions on which unprovoked gladness is appropriate is vastly larger!
