Music Monday 5/23

Thought I'd kick off my Music Monday thing with a song that has been part of the soundtrack for every Scottish hero I've written (and there have already been a few in my short career).  From Call of the Highland Moon's Gideon MacInnes to Dark Awakening's Tynan MacGillivray, my Scotsmen have a sweetness at their core, even if it's not readily apparent at first.  And though they would never admit it, being the sorts of men who aren't into discussing such alien concepts as "feelings" except under extreme duress, they want very much to love and be loved in return.  This also scares the hell out of them, but you know...they're men.  Supernaturally powerful men, but that doesn't make a lot of difference in this area.  In their more vulnerable moments, this lovely song by a favorite band of mine, the appropriately Scottish band Travis, always seems to apply.  I've loved it for years now, so it seems like a good one to share.  Hope you enjoy it too!

  1. Hey girl! You're back, safe and sound. Sounds like your vacation was just what you needed! How was Disney? Bet the kids had a blast! How'd you manage a week away from school so close to year end?

    Cool song-not what I expected when you mentioned "Scottish" band in your post. The hint of cowboy was a surprise.

    It's great to have you blogging! Missed you!

  4. Ana!! *jumps up and down* I've missed you too! I got swamped and went underground for a while, so it's mostly shame on me. Hope you had a good spring!
