The name of this blog is inspired by a discussion that a friend of mine and I had. Neither of us were feeling particularly lucky in love, and we described our general depression as leaning against the window in the pouring rain watching life move by too fast. Music can often help stir up emotions that have been repressed, allowing them to be vented and released. I know the value of a good cry in therapeutic terms. Music is a powerful aid in that therapy.
Today's song is •I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You• by Colin Hay (a song that I discovered as a result of our conversation).
I drink good coffee every morning
Comes from a place that's far away
And when I'm done I feel like talking
Without you here there is less to say
I don't want you thinking I'm unhappy
What is closer to the truth
That if I lived till I was 102
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
I'm no longer moved to drink strong whisky
'Cause I shook the hand of time and I knew
That if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
Your face it dances and it haunts me
Your laughter's still ringing in my ears
I still find pieces of your presence here
Even after all these years
But I don't want you thinking I don't get asked to dinner
'Cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do
Even though I may soon feel the touch of love
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
If I lived till I was 102
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
