You know it's a good song when it gives you goose bumps and evokes emotion deep in your soul whether it be happiness, sadness or uninhibited frolicking.
It can't be helped-wanting to share the song with the world, so the volume is turned to the highest decibels so the melody can encompass your entire being.
The bass resonates deeply in your spine and sternum, rattling the cartilage delightfully. The heart tightens with a squeeze of emotion.
Lifting my voice in song, I join in, hearing myself pitch perfect , the lyrics describing my mood and feelings exactly. Time stands still so this experience is all encompassing. I am a star to be discovered, with talent to match all. Surely I should be on the radio and famous for this voice.
As the tune ends, and I have completed my vibrato and warbles, my face is all smiles. I was awesome!
Then, turning my head to acknowledge my Grammy winning performance to the water bottle and canned goods in the back seat, reality sets in. Here I am, parked on the 91 freeway, windows rolled down and there are a hundred indignant eyes glaring my way. It's my "One Moment in Time". Sorry folks , I thought I was Whitney Houston. Could this traffic go any slower?
Escape is not coming soon enough!
