#SongoftheDay Dark was the Night (Blind Willie Johnson)

Remember fifteen years ago, when a compilation album named after this song was the hottest thing on the indie scene? I always equate that album with the Sufjan Stevens song "You Are the Blood," but that has already been our song of the day.

I had a rough night, last night. Couldn't sleep. The other day I watched a video about how sleeping position can contribute to neck pain, so I was trying to sleep better. I sleep on my stomach (my partner does, too--on his own stomach, that is. He doesn't sleep on mine) and that is just the worst way to sleep, according to the professionals.

But my pillow was too hard and I couldn't get comfortable and I kept moving to the couch, then back to bed. I might have gotten 3 hours of sleep.

I was still lying uncomfortably in bed when my partner left for a dental appointment. By the time I rolled out, it was 8:30 in the morning and dark as the night. Rain and fog. No light coming in. Pain in my head, pain in my neck. Very dizzy.

Today will be a bad one. It's bad already.

I can't seem to escape the darkness in my mind. It doesn't help when there's darkness all around.


If you're wondering how you can support me in bringing you songs and anecdotes, the easiest thing you can do is buy my books (most are for adults only!) or check them out from your local library. 

Supporting my AudioErotica endeavour on Patreon would also help me hugely.

I'm also an Amazon Influencer, so hopefully I can make a little pocket change when you buy stuff by clicking through my affiliate links.

I also recommend subscribing to my newsletter. I generally e-mail subscribers with a weekly update, and I would LOVE to have you on the list.
