"Emmylou"

24 April 2019:

"I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing, little darling, sing with me..." --First Aid Kit, "Emmylou"

The semester's wrapping up, the weather is beautiful, and I've spent the morning (not unhappily) grading American literature essays. Not much to complain about at all.

I find myself  filled with a kind of pleasant pre-restlessness (is that a thing?) and thinking Big Thoughts (again, not in a bad way). This song, which I first heard at this concert back in 2015 when First Aid Kit opened for Brandi Carlile, seems like a good soundtrack for the day.
