“this pesky tape recorder tried to sleep in the light”

I knew that if I would just indulge myself with a stay-home-sick day for this little cold that’s been bothering me lately, mysteries would be explained and revelations would abound! I just knew it! Why, just this morning I stumbled across the lyrics transcription of Disco Inferno’s “A Little Something”… Need I mention that they are one of my most favourite bands ever, and I have been attempting to decipher its lyrics since times immemorial, for it holds an urgent secret - a song to keep the demons at bay during difficult nights, a song to make sure you never wake up from 25 years in an office job!

When I was young
I was taught a little song
I only ever sing it
when things are going horribly wrong

It goes : “Take a trip to the beach
to see the master plan, a baby hyena and an olive branch
stick it all in a fruit blender
With some mottos and some lovers and a vintage Fender”

I feel so satisfied now… And now who knows what this day still holds for me.

How does this story end? Did you have a Cadillac day?

it certainly was a smooth sailing, headscarf and pajama ride…now to be completed with roasted greek potatoes and a little cup of Nyquil.
