That feeling when you start humming and singing a song (without actual lyrics), and get really into it, and then realize you don't know what song it is. It must be on one of my CDs, but which one? I tried singing it to Google, but Google said it couldn't find any close match.
After thinking about it for a bit longer, I had an idea of which artist it is from, and then which song. It's from one of my cassettes. But now I've discovered I somehow missed copying the songs from this particular cassette to my computer; it's not even in the folder where I have the remaining raw files which I haven't finished processing. Maybe I'd been planning to buy the MP3 album instead. But this means I must not have listened to this song in years! Yet it jumped into my head just like that.
This is it:
Dead Can Dance - Saltarello:

I've been playing the game "Journey", which came out in 2012 for PlayStation. I saw some previews of it back then, and liked what I saw, but haven't owned a game console since the Atari I had as a kid. Getting one for just one game wouldn't have been worthwhile. But now a version of the game has been released for Windows PC, and at the moment is on sale for $5 instead of $15. So I got it.
Until reading a couple of articles on the game, I didn't realize that the occasional other characters in the game are other actual people playing it. I thought they were computer-generated.
One article I read said it takes 2-3 hours to finish the game. That disappointed me a bit as I didn't want it to be over that quickly. But considering that I played it last night for about 2 hours, I played some more this evening, thinking maybe I'd finish it. At least another hour and a half. I got through another level or two, but still have no idea how much more there is. Maybe I'm slower than average as I like exploring, and I'm not very experienced with gameplay in general.
Here's another version of that song, one I hadn't heard before:
Corvus Corax - Saltarello

I seem to be in a good mood. I wonder if it is because of that game. Or simply related the fact that I've taken the time to play a game. Yet I also feel good that I got several other things done this weekend. It's been very rainy & stormy the last 3 days, so doing yardwork was not even a consideration.
Maybe it's because of the sand dunes and ruins. That kind of imagery speaks to me.
Desert Day Dreaming - this is an old poem of mine (or very short story or whatever one might call it) with that kind of sandy dune desert context.
