Moon River

Even though I can't sing at all, music is such a big part of my life. A few of my blogs will be about some of my favorite songs and what they mean to me personally.

Hope you can stand it and make it through.

Moon River has long been one of my favorite songs even though I sorta consider myself a bit of a rocker. I do have my mellow side, too. And, maybe, just maybe, a romantic side.

Other than just being a beautiful song, this catches on with the free bird theme. My favorite line of the song may be "Two drifters off to see the world" and there's not much of a more free thing than being a drifter.

Not that I am aimless, or unemployed, but a drifter has little responsibility and plenty of time on his or her hands.

But, also, there are two people involved here. Forget Audrey Hepburn, I have my own favorite girl.

She also happens to want to see the world and have a lot of freedom on her hands. That was one of our favorite things about each other when we met, a desire to explore and see the world.

We've seen some and have had some fun, but unfortunately have been tied down with work and other things. We both want to find that end of the rainbow and that ever elusive pot of gold.

Huckleberry is also mentioned. Moon River being wider than a mile reminds me of Tom and Huck and the mighty Mississippi River. Nothing like rafting along on a river with no shoes on your feet and the only place to be is where the river takes you.

Moon River is a dream maker. It's also a heart breaker.

Let's face it, we all have our dreams and have also had our hearts broken. Even though we have a dream of going places and seeing things, we know we've had our hearts broken many, many times. As long as there is life, and death, there is the breaking of hearts. Yet, it doesn't stop us from pursuing.

Never going to stop yearning to drift and see the world.
