Listening to music with kids
This morning, one of my four kids (he’s 5) said, “Today is a good day!” Immediately after he said this, the song Today by The Smashing Pumpkins started to play in my head, and I started to hum it as I made breakfast.
“What song are you humming, Dad?” Asked the oldest boy, he is close to 7.
I told him what it was.
“Can we listen to it?” He asked. I played it for him via Apple Music, and the next song that the algorithm put in the rotation was Pictures of You by The Cure.
The five year old listened to Robert Smith sing and said, “This is a beautiful song.”
In that moment, I felt lots of things.
