I sometimes like to ask “If your life was a movie and it had a soundtrack, what would the theme song be? ” It’s a great dinner party conversation, the songs we love, the songs that say something about me (or you).
There was one played at Mottsu’s funeral that was a song for me.
You Got It by Roy Orbison
I loved that song, particularly the chorus.
Anything you want, you got it.
Anything you need, you got it.
Anything at all, you got it.
I used to be happy if Mottsu was happy, who wouldn’t have been?
There were other lines that echoed my feelings:
I pray that you are here to stay
and
I live my life to be with you
I also live my life without you now
This threnody is upbeat and not at all dirge like, and it was played at his funeral. It’s not part of my soundtrack now, but a special memory.
I’m looking for my karaoke song now. The one I can stand up on my own and sing badly while grinning…
