Day 3: A song tied to a memory
Fly Away Home was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I used to rent the tape from my school library over and over again.
This song is played at the beginning in a really sad scene and then again at the end in a really happy scene.
I remember one day I heard the song playing in the house and my mom fumbling her way through the lyrics. I asked what she was doing and she said she was trying to learn it. She did learn it, and it was added to the lullabies list.
I don’t think she ended up singing it to me that many times because it made (and still makes) me really sad, but the effort for connection was really beautiful and I’ll never forget that.
