Je Suis Calme!
As you all know, my life was forever changed Sunday, August 28th the year of our Lord 2022 when Taylor Alison Swift announced the upcoming release of her 10th studio album. God bless and keep her.
So we will be taking a brief detour from your regularly scheduled Paris content.
I don't know who is more thrilled about this album drop, me or my therapist because I told her she can really phone it in between now and October 21st. I'll manage.
Taylor shared that Midnights will have 13 tracks about different sleepless nights throughout her life. Which got me thinking about sleepless nights I have had.
There's been nights I couldn't sleep due to heartbreak and nights I couldn't sleep because I accidentally slept all day.
There were many pandemic nights that I didn't sleep because I was in grad school and everything was due by 11:59 Sunday night so at midnight I had this insane rush of task-completion dopamine. I would literally stay up until like 3 AM working on PowerPoints and assignments for my students to do and organizing my online classroom. What a nerd.
More recently there were nights I didn't sleep because my gallbladder was a freakin' bean bag and trying to kill me.
I had my share of traditional all-nighters in college studying for exams. I survived 2 lock-ins in my time on the youth group circuit and I'm the only person I know who went to Project Graduation and didn't win a single thing.
Would any of these make for a good song? Who knows?
I took the liberty of writing my own Midnights-inspired lyrics about the time I stayed up with friends in Raleigh waiting for Bojangles to open for the next day. I do have a melody in my head but I could not find a way to present these lyrics with an acceptable audio other than me recording myself singing. So for your own enjoyment I present to you, in written form only, It's Bo Time Somewhere.
It's Bo Time Somewhere
Is it Bo time yet?
Pass the seasoning
Is it Bo time yet?
