Persistent earworm alert V

Driving in a heavy downpour this morning reminded me, ironically, of a Dar Williams CD, "The Beauty Of The Rain."  After enduring what feels like the 400th storm we've had here in just over a week, I kept thinking about my go-to track on that disc, "I Saw A Bird Fly Away."  It's still running through my mind; something about the joyous clavinet opening draws me right into the song and keeps me there.  Williams sings it with genuine curiosity, and her enthusiasm sounds just as contagious as it did in 2003.  Lyrically, the song asks, indirectly, why people make impulsive, ill-conceived decisions.  It's appropriate, I think, that the lyrics don't provide an answer.
