The other morning I woke up with a song running through my head. This, itself, is not really so strange; my dreams often have narration and soundtracks. Generally speaking, though, the songs that earworm their way into by head are tied to something I’ve recently been listening to: Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” or Dua Lipa’s “Illusion”.
But apropos of absolutely nothing I know of, I woke up with “How Are Things in Glocca Morra” on repeat in my mind. This is not even a song I really know. Strangely, it was just the melody itself, no particular singer’s voice in my head. I had to look up the lyrics, as all I could recall besides the title line was “Kilkerry and Kildare”.
I think I’ve heard Petula Clark and Julie Andrew’s cover the song, but certainly not anytime recently. It’s a lovely, wistful song, but why it started playing in my head, I’ll never know (It certainly wasn’t from what I had on before I went to bed; I had just spent an hour or two watching lectures on the Black Death!).
