Think ----> Sing

I must have been searching for this song for a decade now. I've had the longstanding agony of having 20-year++ LSS on a song I didn't know the title. I've sifted through a great many alternative 90's playlists. I've combed through the albums of suspected artists. I must have hummed it to SoundHound or similar apps for hundreds of times. I never found it.

There was no one to confide to. How could I even explain what I was looking for? Even when I found it, I don't know anyone who might have even known this song. Even the search engines couldn't help me when I googled portions of the lyrics. All I remember was "to think about the moon." I never found it.

I conceded. There will always be unanswered questions in life.

The universe did me favor when I chanced upon listening a song called "Bliss" by a local act, Sundown Muse. Summer was coming, and I was listening to Spotify while washing the dishes. I heard the line "How do I presume to sing about the moon...."

My first thought was, it sounds like they plagiarized. On second thought, I thought this might have been the song and this must have been some kind of tribute. When I ran that line, Fossil's Moon came out. I must have listened to it at least a hundred times that night. A deep scar disappeared. It as if I resigned from my job. It is as if I won the lottery. I divided the atom. I explained the universe in a beautiful formula. I was transported back to my childhood room and this song was playing on the stereo.

I sing, repeatedly, from the lyrics of the song: "this elation evades description."

How can I presume to sing about the moon
Oh how can I presume to sing about the moon
Shall I say it is enchanted
Shall I say it is romantic nonsense
Now that I *** the adolescent swoon
Oh how can I presume to sing about the moon
Shall I say I love her dearly
Shall I say I need her ever near me
This elation evades description
So how can I convey my conviction
Oh satellite
Your majesty makes my heart rise
Oh concubine
Your radiance swells up my eyes
All the multitude that's faced you
Who can say they never once embraced the moon?

I spend all day with my family. I do, however, spend a significant amount of time developing curriculums for this teaching job, working online, rediscovering myself such as I have now. The lesson plans included /s/ and /th/ sounds. I may never have been able to figure it out if I didn't keep listening to what the universe was telling me:

thing ---> sing
think ----> sink

A simple inference makes it obvious.

Thank you, Universe. I'll keep quiet now and listen some more.
