Daily Twitter spam?? APOLOGIES AREN'T ENOUGH

I despise these things, but-- sob. Now that I'm using Twitter again. Here you go.

09:28 Hot damn look at that crowd. Wooow. #

10:02 ...I think I want this song that John Williams, Yo Yo Ma, et al have written. Wow. So. Pretty. "Air and Simple Gifts". #

10:16 I thought, well, he doesn't look nervous, but with that stammering maybe he was. ...but he is kicking ass with this speech, man. #

10:35 Miss N is upset about all these religious people speaking. More God stuff?! Haven't we had eight years of that?! ...sigh. No point arguing. #

10:37 ...that was an adorable end to that speech. XD #

15:41 tinyurl.com/7eqjj3 ...this article makes me weep. So the slip wasn't his fault! #

01:21 If I were advertising a horoscope service called "KGB", I would not present it as a stranger who knows what you want to ask before you ask. #

Well, I know the "Simple Gifts" part of it is a rearrangement of a Shaker song by that title. My elementary school was obsessed with the Shakers, probably because it was located in Shaker Heights, so we learned all these songs and went to Shaker Town in fourth grade.

Tis the gift to be simple
Tis the gift to be free
Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves in a place just right
Twill be in the valley of love and delight

When true simplicity is gained
To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed
To turn turn
Twill be our delight
Till by turning turning we come round right

... are the lyrics to "Simple Gifts."

The "Simple Gifts" part can be found in "Appalachian Spring" by Aaron Copland. It's one of the main themes of the piece.
