Music Monday

So, I've mentioned before how sometimes I become obsessed with one particular song and will listen to it again and again and again for days or even weeks? Well, this is another such song. I just absolutely adore it. And of course , my imagination is in full force for this one. Except, instead of imaging a video for it, I imagine a bunch of people elaborately dancing to it in costumes that are meant to invoke bird imagery. Like there's a group of people as parrots, bluejays, hawks, etc. And they aren't actual costumes, just elaborate outfits and headgear meant to allude to birds. And we're at a huge ballroom as part of a several days long festival which includes not only dancing but also fights, fencing as well as hand-to-hand, and other feats of strength and athleticism. There's a great deal of intrigue as our particular subculture may be gearing up to become involved with warring factions in the outside world and we must navigate what our vows and beliefs mean and how those should factor into any decisions we might make moving forward. But for the time being, we dance, even with those among us we disagree with with, especially because refusing a dance is seen as a grave insult.
