Wish I Had a Hammock

NPR had it on their list of lesser-known love songs, though I've loved this song from first listen months and months, oh Lawd, almost a year ago. The Book of Love makes you want to swing in a hammock or rock in a rocking chair on the porch enjoying a sunny, lazy day. I enjoy hammocks, swings, and rocking chairs for the same reason I sleep well on boats. There is something so pleasant about finding the rhythm of a scene and being able to become a part of that rhythm. Ahhhh, harmony. Thank you Stephin Merrit of the Magnetic Fields . . . it is a very sweet rhythm to be a part of.
