Last August, I mentioned my newfound love for “Tap Dancing in a Minefield,” an amazing rock song by The New Regime (the solo project of the Foo Fighters’ current drummer and youngest member, Ilan Rubin).

Song of the Moment LXXI: Philip Glass’s “Metamorphosis: One” (Again)
Have you ever had a dream so happy that you wish the dream would never end? That’s the kind of dream that I had last Sunday, and I woke up feeling happy… and then my smile turned into a frown. It was only a dream.
“But Dewey, it was just a dream. Don’t worry about it.” That’s the thing: It was only a dream.
Since then, I have been struggling to bounce back. I had a hard time fixing my sleeping schedule. I had a hard time finishing my work tasks faster. I had a hard time basically being fine. If I were to add a piece of melancholic background music to my current predicament, it would be “Metamorphosis: One” by Philip Glass. It is one of my favorite sad songs ever.
And coincidentally, a year ago today, I also blogged about “Metamorphosis: One” as a Song of the Moment. I only found out after searching the old post. (If you click on the aforementioned link, there’s a spoiler warning if you have not seen “return 0”, the final episode of my all-time favorite series Person of Interest.)
Anyway, even if I’m sad, I will try to keep going. I have to.
