So I was sitting at the café tonight, head plugged into my Zune, electronic music putting me into a writing groove. A track came on with spoken words. My knee jerk reaction was to flip the song but the words were so pleasant. I continued listening, falling into a trance, letting the words wash over me.
Then I broke out into laughter. Talk about your bait and net.
The Blue Light of the Underwater Sun
by Richard Melville Hall (Moby)
Now close your eyes and relax
Feel the warmth of the sun
And imagine yourself as a beautiful dolphin
You are swimming and playing in the vast ocean
You sail up and over the waves, glistening in the warm sun
And snapping your strong tail
Now you're going deep, swimming and exploring
The wonders of the mighty sea
Schools of brightly colored fish and banks of coral
All illuminated by the blue light of the underwater sun
There in the distance you see a vast school of fast Tuna
And you start to chase them
And suddenly you're caught in a drift net
Laid by commercial fisherman and you start to panic

Haha, with a name like Melville, what did you expect?
Personally, my all time favorite story-songs are "Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto. and "Come Sail Away" by Styx.
Yeah.
