Uxorious is a word that I remember from one of my weekly vocabulary lists in high school. I don't recall ever having used the word, or for that matter having read it anywhere. I guess it was just of those obscure words that some educator thought we should know. And it works well if you're looking for words starting with the letter "U". If you don't know what it means then you can look it up. That's probably more educational than me telling you.
Tape tracks might have been a term that was totally understandable to most people at some times in the past. Early on in my years of listening to and buying recorded music I started accumulating 8-track cartridges and the cassettes. It was all music recorded on tape that was made for the purpose of audio storage. If you wanted to refer to a certain song on the tape then you might refer to a "track" on that tape. Finding the track you wanted was often not all that simple. You had to fast forward or rewind until you got to the track you wanted. Hit or miss was the deal. I usually didn't have to deal with that since I'm kind of obsessive about listening to an album from start to finish. I'd read the listing of the tape tracks on the label, but rarely did I search for particular tracks. It's just the way I've tended to listen to music. I still do. When I listen to music, which is not as often as I used to do.
Sad songs are some of my favorites. Happy songs can be uplifting or fun or downright silly. But the sad songs seem to stick with me the most.
