Sun Arise

                                            


Every time I watch the sunrise, I play host to an ear worm from 1963--the didgeridoo hit from Australia--"Sun Arise". You can hear it HERE.


As I watch the light fill the room, I'm hearing the twang of the didgeridoo and the simple lyrics "See the sun, come in the morning, spreading all the light all around. . ."


Apparently the lyrics were inspired by the Aboriginal characterization of the Sun as a woman, spreading her glowing skirts over the land.

Works for me.

They are. She doesn't play with them much, nowadays; but when I asked her if we might put them away now, she said no.
