On several occasions, I know I’ve mentally written Song of the Week posts and noted that songs make me want to dance. To some extent this is one of those songs, but better. It doesn’t just make me want to dance, it actually makes me dance. I genuinely can’t imagine hearing this song and not feeling the urge to move. The song just makes me happy, and I express my joy by dancing. The second this song comes on, my head bops, my hands wave, my foot taps to the beat.
Years from now I’ll be in a new place, but I’ll carry my wave and my CD with me, and I’ll still be able to close my eyes and remember standing in front of my childhood mirror, bouncing around, looking myself right in the eye, smiling at my reflection.
