Turn on those sad songs..

Dance Away…..

I've shared this before & I'll never forget my reaction probably the first 50times I heard it.

The conflicting emotions of him being lost/numb yet still feeling so much.

The racing along an empty beach, the screaming, trying anything to get some relief from everything that's going through his head.

The door there within sight but taking every ounce of strength to finally walk through.

Then the scene at the end in therapy, where he's deep breathing & crying after letting it all out 🪦

Never had a song have such an impact on my little heart 💔

Such regret I didn't appreciate my parents more or treat them better when I had the chance.

Hello In There - John Prine

Tom Waits - Martha

I admire your honesty in that post (as sad as it is to read).

I'm familiar with this song & have sang along to some parts, but I've never fully listened to the lyrics - until now (I switch off with older music). I've a whole new appreciation for the song now x
