‘A Birthday’ is an upbeat‚ jubilant poem about love‚ written by Christina Rossetti in 1861. While many believe that this love she is expressing so effusively is about a man‚ I believe that it is about her new-found love for God. Rossetti‚ after all‚ was a very religious person.

I know there are some times when the music was just too good and your body just wants to dance with it. Or maybe if you’re playing a song and you think that the energy wasn’t enough to compensate for the awesomeness of that song. Anyone could just move their body if they want to (especially when the music is too great). But sometimes‚ it’s just quite odd when you dance or maybe
