The first week or so after Bryony's arrival, I noticed an interesting phenomenom occurring just about every night. When I'd wake up to her gurgles indicating that she needed to eat, somehow my middle-of-the-night grogginess was overcome by the familiar beats/strums/lyrics of various Top 40 songs streaming through my head. At first it was comforting, as babies don't talk much and so nighttime feedings can get a bit lonely. It was nice to have some tunes to "listen" to. However, it's seven weeks on now and the SAME songs are still prowling the nighttime crevices of my brain. I'm hoping to purge them into the dark recesses by blogging about them...a sort of cleansing of my internal IPod. So, here ya go, the Top 5 songs of my 3 am Feeding playlist...
5. "I've Got a Feeling" by The Black-Eyed Peas (I'm really down with this song, but they've been playing it a bit much on tv, resulting in it playing a bit much in my head)
4. "Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight and the Pips (I set myself up for this when I started thinking about a move to Georgia *sigh*)
3. "Heal the World" by Michael Jackson (this one entered the playlist after I looked at his 3-hour memorial service)
2. "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey (thanks to those incessant promos for the new show "Glee")
And the most not-requested, but overly played:
1. "Friday I'm in Love" by The Cure (I actually really love this song, but I'm going to start hating it if it doesn't take a hiatus for a good long while)
Well, I'm off for now...I'm putting my internal IPod on shuffle; hopefully something new will turn up tonight.
