Music 101

I have an exam for my Music 101 class. I have done hardly any reading. I have tried to do my listening, but my mind keeps wandering. And while I listen to this out dated Baroque music, I keep thinking these lyrics, "I want you to want me. I need you to need me.". Great writing. Simple to the point.
I'm left wondering what life holds in store. Three months are going to fly by- then I stand alone. Insurance and taxes, payments, and bills- all left to my care. Am I ready? I keep saying yes to myself, thinking that I will have to learn street smarts eventually. But then here I sit, not doing homework, thinking of other things.
Dido and Aeneas plays in the background- the music is forlorn and depressing. The story behind this little dramatic piece is about a man who promised love and marriage to a princess. This foreign prince leaving her, drove her to suicide. Ha, what's that saying about music to slit your wrists to? Well, here it is!
Well, maybe I will get one question right on the exam.
Until then, lets keep things bright and cheery- "I want you to want me", "Poka-dot it", "Tonight's gonna be a good night"- If the world was as simple as some lyrics suggest, there would never be a second coming.
Just a thought.

I will have to tell you about the rest of my musical journey tomorrow during a class I won't be paying attention in.
