Smiling like a mule eating briars. Listening through a long-abandoned playlist in a forgotten account.

This song was my beloved, machine-heart son's ring tone for years--especially during my 6 year sojourn in California. The lyrics, in retrospect, didn't have a thing to do with the assignation--but some conglomeration of the mood, the look of the vocalist, the beach/ocean focus, and how it makes me feel led to the choice. Add: I'm not sure if I ever told me kid what his ring tone was, but I know if I did, he'd be appalled and he'd have complained.

Because perspective.
