days of Music - 5/8/11 (also, mum's day)

Day 4 -  a song that makes you sad
Day 5 - a song that reminds you of someone

Today's mother's days! So In honor of that tradition, I thought I'd pick a song that reminded me of my Mother. way back in my youth, I found an album, one of the first I purchased my self, Smash Mouth All Star (single). I remember listening to it on the way home in the car. My Mommy mentioned how she liked my choice of music. Anyway, it was a sunny afternoon when I was playing on Harvard's lawn. Mom was inside, doing something scientific. A bee hidden in the grass beneath my ankles became agitated and planted a fierce-some sting in me. Next I remember sitting in a chair in Mom's lab; she was applying some tincture she'd made to the wound. I remember being impressed and proud and love of this mighty woman. Anyway, for whatever reason, Smash Mouth's Walking on the Sun reminds of those early days, of Boston summer, of Harvard, of Cindy K. Miranti.
I should note, like most of these video posts, I've not seen the music videos...
