The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Barenaked Ladies, "Have You Seen My Love?" from Everything to Everyone (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: As I mowed, as late afternoon gave way to early evening, I sang quietly, over and over, "Have You Seen My Love?," or at least the iconic part of the chorus I have memorized.

"Have you seen my love?
Have you seen my love?
Have you seen my little girl?
Oh, have you seen my love?"

'Twas a rare happy kind of sad afternoon. Not happy/kind of sad, but the kind of sad that is somehow happy. You've experienced this and you're nodding, or you haven't experienced this and in all likelihood never will. One isn't better than the other, just different. The happy kind of sad.
