DAY 08: FRANK SINATRA "SONGS FOR SWINGIN' LOVERS!" (1956)

You know that scene from the movie 500 Days of Summer when Gordon-Levitt finally slept with Zooey Deschanel's character and he started dancing and it turned into this humongous dance number?!

Yes that!!!! That's exactly how I feel right now.

Since I started this whole thing, I always find myself in a good mood. It does not matter how crappy the day is or how terrible that traffic was this morning or how hot it is right now here in my kitchen. I don't care! I'm just on my 8th day and I feel different. I caught myself in a hurry to go home so I can listen to a new album and write about it. I have found a new way to get excited again.

This would be my second Sinatra album and I'm spooked. Not only am I glad to hear a happier Sinatra this time but I actually feel like he's talking to me through his lyrics. He's on my side on this musical journey!

On You Make Me Feel So Young he said, 

You make me feel so young
You make me feel like spring has sprung

I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon

You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung

And then I heard You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me, the title alone gives me the chills. Are you spooked already? Here's more.

Oh, I can't break away 
I must have you everyday
As regularly as coffee or tea
You've got me in your clutches and I can't break free
You're getting to be a habit with me

Remember when I said that I'm always excited to go home? Here's Sinatra's take on You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me. 

I would work and slave the whole day through
If I could hurry home to you
You brought a new kind of love to me

This album pretty much outlined what I'm trying to achieve in this journey. I want to continue and hear more. 

Sinatra replied on Love is Here To Stay.

It's very clear, our love is here to stay.
Ahhh, not for a year. But, ever and a day
