A pretty good day today, until I started listening to music on the radio. Which is usually a good scape for me (that and the news, as long as it doesn't have any stories about abuse, but I digress). I've been overly sensitive to the Bruce Springsteen song, "Streets of Philadelphia," mostly because the lyrics sound a lot like my sometimes sad life. Not because I have AIDS, I don't, but the whole chord of isolation and lonliness hits hard for me.

So here I am, driving down the road, crying my fool head off when they finally get to the lyrics, "ain't not one gonna miss me./It's just you and me, my friend./And my clothes don't fit me no more." Anyone who doesn't feel that pain has no heart when they get to it.

*sigh*

I said it in the title, a little hiccup CAN ruin your day. My greatest fear is to leave this world and have no one care. It isn't true, but sometimes I just feel that frigging lonely. Truly, I can feel very isolated.

It passes, though.

Love,

Scot
 
I hear ya, Scot.

I hear ya.

My friend told me once if I were to adopt an American Indian name it would have to be
"Chief Tender Heart".

She saw the way I was so sensitive to sorrow and hurt, not just my own, but that of others.

I think she meant it as a compliment.

A sensitive heart can be a rare and beautiful thing. I'm glad you shared yours with me today.

Regards,

I've been off work today, so I had a chance to play the music my wife doesn't like :D

After playing much of the Tom Waits catalogue I played Johnny Cash "American IV: The Man Comes Around" and I cried like a baby through all 17 tracks :eek:

Terrific album, but not for the depressed ;)

I too have been listening to Johnny Cash...or rather watching a video. His "Hurt" song...I don't know what it is about it but I can't get away from it. I could watch it a billion times it throws me in a whirlwhind of emotions but I like it. I'm also trying to learn to play it on guitar, its not that hard of a song to play for anyone who plays here.

Take care,
Jon
 
Scot it was merely a blip. And you know what. It is ok to cry. For far to long we bottled all emotions up inside. And as for the answer I guarantee you will not be alone. You will have what we all crave and need. The warmth and affection that comes with caring and sharing with another human being. Keep it up brother.

"Hurt" is a Trent Reznor song, but I've never heard his version, I'll go and download it.

The lyrics are just about the most powerful I've ever heard. I'll try and put them on the Music & Film forum.
