About singing mood

 It somehow came to my mind tgat I should write about a natural wish to sing. I haven't sang lately almost at all, so it is not a good time for me to write such, but I am stuck to writing and it is summer, so I try to write about this too. 

A sinhkng mood is when you feel a temptation to sing, a likkng towatd singing, which is at lest for the not so experienced typically traditional songs of one's homecoubtry or evergreen songs that one knows well enough. It is not a social deed. Instead it id usually alone or in the company of family members and friends. Often there is some other thing done at the same time, like construction work or unfamiluar home chores, and so some family member or friendly old clise relation suggests that you could sing while you work and so pass the time more leisurely, nicely. Abd so they like singing and it is a so lonely place that it is somewhat as if alone, and so he/she sings some familuar songs tjinking of their content while one sings but not later, but might remark of some other song of interest. So one gets the habit of singing sometimes when in goid mood and doing leisurely something practical, without anyone much listening. It isn't overly much singing, instead it is jyst a nice pleasant thing to try at some point for example in carpentry when it fits the moid. 

I have sometimes sang when walking some distance, with nature too roadside, kibd of list in my tjoughts about ways of living, and felt like singing, abd sang something fitting my mood, but stoooed if not alone anymore. Kind of wanting the strenght of the wusdom of music alobg to my lufe. But such too is rarely. It is not copying from songs, it is mire lije mysical poibt of view and traditional songs somehow helping to learn traditional wisdom of life of life with the nature here. 

A singing mood is something lije reachibg for fracturelessness on that area of lufe at some time when music comes unusually eadily along but is kind of new thing. Lije sometimes we sang at the summer vottage indoors whe it was rainy day outdoors.
