...That Song in Head

You ever wake up and go running and there is a song stuck in your head? As mentioned I run commando...that is no iPod and carry as little as possible. So this morning I got Gimme Three Steps by Lynyrd Skynyrd stuck in my head...why one might ask...? I think I heard it live by a band on Sunday and it must have taken a couple days to digest? It is a snappy little ditty and certainly a good tune to run to if you like that ilk, and I do, but and interesting sound track to the day. Maybe it takes a couple days to make it through all the noise in my little pea brain.
The other day it was Watching the Detectives by Elvis Costello. My favorite Elvis song to date, no doubt, but again an interesting sound track to a run. Great lyrics in that song..."she's filing her nails while their dragging the lake.." Funny little minor chords and all together a great though not hugely popular song from long ago. He is an interesting cat and I like him in Spectical with Elvis Costello on cable...interesting guests, including his lovely wife Diana Krall. Seems he knows his stuff as far as music is concerned. I have read some fair reviews of his new one and should try to pick it up.
Beautiful morning to run...ran past a couple different cats out doing a dawn hunt. Do not usually see many cats on this M-F route...I must have been particularly stealthy this morning...yeah right.
As I turn at the top of the big hill at the end to head home the sun must have just come up and touched the top of the far ridge and set it ablaze with fiery red and orange to light the mist on there. Shocking beautiful finish...to a great day for a run.
