A song a day, day 1: your favorite song.

The end of the semester is nigh! All thinky cells rerouted to librarying cortex. Remaining slouchy cells are loitering around here for a meme.

So it’s not like it starts off in the most obvious and most difficult place or anything. My favorite song? According to number of times I have listened to it since 2004, it is Zeromancer’s cover of “Send Me an Angel”, but that is not my favorite song. It is my superhero montage song.

No, I think that I will have to choose this one instead. My friend Matt introduced me to this song and it crash-landed in my heart at just the right moment. I still haven’t recovered, and I’m glad.
