Higher, and Higher Straight Up We'll Climb

Last night, thanks to shotty fielding the good guys lost. No not my softball game, which was a 20-5 victory. I am talking about my beloved Red Sox. They came in with an 11 game winning streak, but committed 3 errors to blow the game to the Indians. What does this have to do with the song of the day??? Well, one song reminds me of my first Red Sox game ever at Fenway Park. It was part of our fall orientation at the College of Communication of Boston University. And it just happened to be the game where the Red Sox clinched the American League East Championship. Not bad for a first game on the Fens. Little did I know that I would come to love the Sox and become a full fledged member of Red Sox Nation. But what was the moment that sticks in my mind the most from that game, it was rotund Mo Vaughn perched on top of a horse during the postgame celebration. The horse looked like his back was going to give out under the weight of the large and in-charge first baseman. And what song was playing at the time, well, it was "Dreams" by Van Halen. A great choice for song of the day:

"World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin' down
Better change your tune
Yeah, you reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby, just spread your wings

We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

Run, run, run away
Like a train runnin' off the track
Got the truth bein' left behind
Falls between the cracks
Standin' on broken dreams
Never losin' sight, ah
Well just spread your wings

We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind
So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of'
Cause we belong in a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

Yeah, we'll get higher and higherS
traight up we'll climb
Higher and higher
Leave it all behind
Oh, we'll get higher and higher
Who knows what we'll find?
So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

Oh baby, we belong in a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
And in the end on dreams we will depend
'Cause that's what love is made of"
