just another LSS

January 7, 2013 question is: What song is stuck in your head?

Ever heard of an LSS? Not Life Safety Services, but an Internet slang that means singing random song you last heard whether you like the song or not. This acronym stand for Last Song Syndrome. It is cool when the last song you heard is a pretty nice one but the down side to it is when the song happens to be the most crappy or corny or pathetic song but catchy nevertheless and you can't help unconsciously singing or humming it on and on.

But nothing corny or crappy for my LSS for the day. The last song that got stuck on my head up to now in fact, is a song I like a lot and can identify with at one point in my life - the song "Seven Years". It was composed by Lee Alexander and Norah Jones is the vocalist. The lyrics are as follows:

Seven Years

Spinning, laughing, dancing to
Her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all alone

Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
That comes along

Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound

Crooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That's all her own

Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound

Spinning, laughing, dancing to her
Favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all alone.

And here is a video of the song performed by Norah Jones and her band. Enjoy! Hope it will be your LSS, too!
