This song plays over and over and over again in line for the tea cup ride at Disneyland.  It makes me think of magical adventures and chocolate covered bananas.

This is the light that shines And I can see the pines are dancing This is the leaving of another love This is the howling at the moon These are the arms you fell into I am a fire and I must burn today

Song: Lady Daydream

Artist: Twin Sister

Album: Color Your Life EP (2010)

My sister (not a twin), had a baby girl yesterday.  Not a twin.  Just a sweet little baby girl, yet to be named because she came out a little earlier than expected.  I wanted to post something to commemorate the birth of my first niece and my sister's first daughter after two boys (not twins), so I searched my music for songs with the word "baby," then "girl," then finally "lady," before this song struck me as the one to post.  Mostly because it's a super pretty song.  And because I hope she's a daydreamer like me.  In any case, maybe one day she'll read this blog and be like "Uncle Jamie, you're a lame-o."  Because blogs will be irrelevant in the future.  Because, you know, spaceships.  And even better.... twin spaceships!
