At dinner Tuesday night, Myra announces, “If you listen to the words close enough, all songs are about love.”

“Really?” we ask.

“Sure,” she replies, and starts listing off songs ranging from “I Put a Spell on You,” by Jay Hawkins, to “Purple Haze,” by Jimi Hendrix to “Heart Attack,” by Demi Lovato.  Robert and I spend a few minutes calling out song titles, only to have Myra prove her theory.  We decided that even “Look Down” from Les Mis qualifies, because Valjean loved his family and didn’t want his nephew to starve, so he stole some bread and ended up a prisoner.

Robert leans forward and asks Myra, “So why do you think that is?”

“Because love is the secret of life,” is Myra’s instant response.
