The Power Of Sinatra

I have been meaning to post this for about three years, so here goes:

It's funny how Sinatra can become a part of who you are. His voice and words can go in and become part of the fabric of you and the way you think. No other singer has ever done that to me, it is only his voice and his special emotional connection that melds so well with me.

Anyway, I was just going to make an observation. There is this particular example in my own life that really illustrates that point. The first time I heard Frank sing My Shining Hour on Trilogy, one line struck me and has stayed with me from that moment on:

"Like the lights of home before me, or an angel watching for me..."

That one line has been in my head ever since. I live in a valley, and as I drive home at night and see my home town stretched out beneath me - all twinkling lights; that one line always fills my head. I know it always will. That's Sinatra.

Does anyone else have a similar experience?
