Unstuck in Title

gnomiTime was (as eal can attest), I couldn't start writing until I had a title for the piece I was writing, be it fiction or non-fiction. It didn't even have to be the final title; I just needed something to call the story. While this has changed, and I can write at least something while still titleless, I still don't feel right until I have something to call whatever it is I'm writing.
Since late January, I've been poking on and off at a story that had no title. And the more I worked on the story, fleshed it out, the more frustrated I grew at the lack of title. I came to call it "that thing with no title," or by its main characters' names, but it bothered me that I had no title.
Today, through a random conversation, I finally came up with a title.
Therefore, I wanted to publicly thankbyrne for helping shake my title free.
And, for the record, the title will be "Something to Do With Luck."

Which made me pay attention to the lyrics.
Which made the title lodge itself in my head as I was walking to the subway to meet
