I wondered what music would come to mind as I watched today's presidential inauguration. "This Will Be Our Year" by The Zombies struck me first. This moment "took a long time to come," indeed. The divisiveness, destruction, and lies of the previous regime felt to me like they'd lasted for at least 20 years.
"This Will Be Our Year" quickly gave way to GrooveLily's "Weight Of The World" for me, however. President Biden and Vice President Harris, both of whom have shown repeatedly that they care about and will help the people they've been elected to govern, are now in office. Despite the pandemic, the state of the economy, and the hateful elements of our society, it feels like "the world's getting lighter today."
May the new president, vice president, and all of us stay healthy and safe during and beyond this new day for America.
