The Swingle Singers and the soundtrack of our lives....





J was in college when he heard a woman singing this song in the dorm room next door. He was so moved that he knocked on the door and begged to be introduced to the owner of that beautifully haunting voice. Luckily ( for me!), the voice came from an old record of the Swingle Singers- a French a capella group from the 1960's.

This is the song that was playing the moment I knew in my heart that I had fallen in love with J, the song that we hummed to baby mini-sassy, the song we sing to calm Hugo , the Havaianas Hound when he is scared ( like when he takes baths). This is our rainy Saturday morning song-curled up on the sofa with cups of tea or hot chocolate.

Music has that magical effect, doesn't it? Transporting us to defining moments, capturing a snippet of time, making us feel 16 again and putting a smile on our faces......

Have you ever thought about the soundtrack of your life?

XOXO,
sassy
