penpusherIt's time to explore the subtle minutiae of semantics. on Day 3 We had "A Song That Makes You Happy." Today is something different. This is a Song You Play WHEN You're Happy.
Of course, this isn't clear because I would play different songs based on WHY I was happy. And that makes this one of the biggest challenges of the 30 Days. If the Yankees win a World Series, I would play Queen's "We Are The Champions" as a more obvious example.
I admit I'm not quite sure what to do with today's selection. The WHY of this really is the element that would determine the selection and I'm not being given any whys, here. Or, maybe I should just create a why on my own. Would that do it?
Since I don't really know what to do about it, I'm going to dump one quick. It's a bit of a mashup based on a piece of music that was a separate song but adds a rap and extra vocals.
My selection for Day 20 is Lupe Fiasco - "Daydreamin'"

I still haven't quite found the original group that did that version of the song... but there is also the Wallace Collection version, recorded in 1968 or so, a group out of Brussels... which isn't that far a leap to be translated into French, as Claude François did.
Top it off with the fact that the song's melody is lifted from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake ballet and that dates it back 140 years!
