Need A Good Cry?

Thanks, Lizzy because as you well know none of us here have any reason to ever cry.

It is a beautiful song and performed so well but it has a hauntingly strange power to evoke so many sad memories - different for each of us.

I asked you when we were listening to it where it took you but you just wiped away a tear and said, "a lot of different places," that is so true for all of us - some of them may be places that we do not want to go but as I have been told by a very good friend at the end of bittersweet is sweet.

Now I will grab a tissue and head off to work.

LOVE

Isn't it strange how the harmonics of some songs and singers can bring us to truths nothing else can?

Lizzy,

Wow, it certainly did bring a tear to my eye as that song always does. If Sally were to ask me the same question she asked you my answer would be the same as yours too. It did bring tears but they were not the tearts of pain, rather a sorrow and a deep feeling of belonging. Belonging? Where does that come from? It comes from my heritage, which is Irish, and that song always causes me to appreciate where my liniage comes from. It makes me cherish the kind of connection to other people that transcends time and space, where two people who are seeing each other after many years of separation can feel the sudden flood of love and connection that binds them and has bound them through all the time they were apart.

Today, as I listened, my mind filled with images of you, Sally, and Dee Jay being togehter again after years have passed. For one small moment I was able to feel the love you have for each other and the sense of fullfillment that you are experiencing right now.

That is a sweet way to put it. And it fits - finally together, after such pain and suffering to get here

There are some levels in addition to all that:

JJ - dedicated to John on a certain level

To my soon to be ex - there were good times - the hate now, sometimes overwhelms me

My old house

My people

Dedicated to Carol - I miss her deeply

All those lost - the troubled on Laura's - to all of us - we who so desparately are trying to find our way

Bittersweet holidays

I dedicate it to the person that I thought I could be...the person that carried me through all these years of pain and misery...the person that protected me so I could attain what I've achieved now...

It's a beautiful song Lizzy but I really wish I knew what she was saying. There are a lot on Enya songs just like this that I like to listen to.

Sarah,

Here's a page that is pretty good at explaining what the lyrics mean. Clickity Click Click

But... but it's not Hogmanay yet!

Seriously, though, it's a nice rendition of that song... I didn't feel like I could cry, but I think the lack of HRT had something to do with that. Not long now
