I'm out of this one for sure. I don't even know any songs from the last five years.
I was raised by humans. What's your excuse?

I know I could do that. But really, these days, if I were to write a story related to some piece of music, I'd be more inclined to go after something like the Grand Pas de deux from The Nutcracker. I'd NEVER get that to fit in 1000 words.

Just an aside--I think the Grand Pas is THE sexiest piece of music ever written.

I've been working on some other things besides writing---in fact too many things---but I'll attempt a story this time. It's so easy to deluge ourselves with too many projects or interests. Sometime I think it's best to create a junkyard out back and fill it with all our 'I'm agoning to do this and that's!' Believe me my junkyard would reach the stars!!! Maybe that's a good idea for a story!
