Music is nearly always playing when I write.
I use it to feel a tone or emotion for what I'm writing.
Recently I found the perfect song for languor.
An odd emotion, I'm sure.
Google's Oxford Languages defines languor as,
"the state or feeling, often pleasant, of tiredness or inertia."source

I rarely feel languorous.
I'm a ball of nervous energy, high strung, with an impressive startle response.
So it was amazing when I heard Joe Bonamassa's "Drive" for the first time recently.
I slipped into a state of languor, remembering other languorous times in my life.
And I played the song again and again just to hold on to that mellow emotion.
On my last night in Las Vegas, I was definitely wallowing in languor.
I had done all I wanted to do and more on our visit:

Here are the lyrics for "Drive" ~ composers Joe Bonamassa and James House:
Babe, you’ve been feeling poorly
I’ve been dealing with stress
Why don’t we go out tonight
Put on your favorite dress
And let’s drive
Into the night into the light
Let’s ride Put on an old blues song
Let all our troubles be gone
And drive
Feel like I’ve been a prisoner
Of my own design
I’ve been such a bad listener
But I hear you tonight
Let’s drive
Into the night, into the light
Let’s ride
Put on some old blues songs
Let all our troubles be gone
Let’s drive
Let’s drive
30 miles from Santa Fe
Bound for San Anton’
Even though it’s dark out here
I don’t feel alone
Let’s drive
Into the night, into the light
Let’s ride
Put on an old blues song
Let all our troubles be gone
Let’s drive
Put on an old blues song
Let all our troubles be gone
Let’s drive
Let’s drive
Joe Bonamassa: "Joseph Leonard Bonamassa (born May 8, 1977) is an American blues rock guitarist, singer and songwriter. He started his career at age twelve, when he opened for B.B. King.[3] Since 2000, Bonamassa has released fifteen solo albums through his independent record label J&R Adventures, of which eleven have reached No. 1 on the Billboard Blues chart." Wikipedia
