The Orange by Benjamin Rosenbaum

This past week, "Orange Skies," a love song by one of the 60's most beloved bands, Love, has been ringing in my ears and I didn't know why. Today I've had a class at my translator school and suddenly understood. I let my students work on "The Orange" by Ben Rosenbaum. Beautiful story and a happy one, too. My students love it. And it deserves a happy song to accompany it. I don't know if Ben knows that particular song, or even Love, or not, but sometimes a story reminds me of a song that has no direct link to the story itself, and that insignificant connection usually gives me a joy. When I first read Neuromancer by Bill Gibson, songs of the Pretenders were echoing in my mind. Bill later confirmed me that Molly and Chrissie Hynde are of the same breed. Is there anyone who hears music in a story like that, too?
