Shadows of a song..

Every Ship Must Sail Away ~ Blue Merle

It’s official Watson!  I have lost my mojo….it is the damn brick wall I keep running into…..

Any particular reason? you might ask….

Nope, none that I can think of…..

Maybe inspiration has run dry this side of the world…

Even the furniture-less, and almost empty flat doesn’t do anything for me …..

You hear that?

It’s an echo in an empty mind…..

“Have you ever heard the sounds
In the shadows of a song
Have you ever felt their words
Blow right through you from beyond

Aftermath….

Not the cookies taste sweeter kind, definitely not the being in an Air Supply song feeling…..

It’s the aftermath of all the cookies and too much Air Supply songs kind….

The kind that makes you throw up on an empty stomach…..

“Oh change is in the air
And you wear it oh so well
I asked you if you cared
But if you cared I couldn’t tell”

Shy away sun, make way for the dreadful moon…..cause she doesn’t shine…..not as we want her to….

“‘Cause years pass and people change
The bluest skies turn to gray”

Cast away that frown, Honey……cause here comes the rain….

Poignant and Plain…

“And though it’s gonna hurt for now
Every ship must sail away
Every ship must sail away”

Left Unsaid..

I know this is a crappy picture I just wish the light was a better  for me to capture the pretty little Cottage with a Yellow door….

Today I went over all my favorite Rod Stewart, Sting, Air Supply songs to kinda get the right one…..

Simply Red got the vote and the band was not even on the bloody list…

I guess what I am trying to say is….I have moments when I say or do the most irrational things, things that are ludicrous…(doesn’t add to my street cred now does it?)……and this is one of them…..

So Not Over You ~ Simply Red

There are Coincidences and then there are “The Coincidences”

(Care to Explain?)

I don’t think I can…..but I will try

“The emptiness when you were gone kept ringing in my head
Told myself I really had to move along now
Stop regretting all the things I left unsaid,”

Dont quote me on this, but I did not have to go half way around the world to find out….what I always knew….

Like a fingerprint the truth cannot be altered or erased…

“So I tore up your letters
Took your picture off my wall
I deleted your number, it was too hard not to call”

It is in the very fabric of existence……

I play it off by saying “It’s just a phase and will soon fade away” (And God knows I wish this was true)

“Felt a little better, told myself I’d be fine
Got to live for the good times up ahead,”

But you see it always catches up ……

All that resolution crumbles at a  sight or a sound….

Restraint falls to pieces over a stupid love song….

“All my friends try to tell me better find somebody new
Why waste time being lonely when there’s nothing left to lose’

They said Time is a healer, but they weren’t wounds that needed healing…..

They were memories…..

“Anything to get you out of my mind
I’m a fool if I thought I could forget
And I could not forget”

Before you know it you are washed away by the flowing tide and you let yourself drown….

No signal fires, no safety nets…

For all the cautious tales, and the warnings bells….you left them behind….

When I think about it, rationale is not my problem……

It is easier to forget…..but let me tell you how difficult it is – to not remember….

“Cos everywhere I go
There’s a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong
I was still not over you
‘Cos I still believe and I could see how there’s nothing left of you and me
That time is over
‘Cos I’m so not over you”
