A few clouds of melancholy gathered in your place last night MR ?
This thread must have been a few pages down the list - you're a brave soul venturing into that dark long history, I dread to think whats buried in those 35 pages.......................
Some interesting thoughts in that glass of good cheer though, I sometimes wonder if growing up actually means shutting down and maybe we have to so we can keep going down our path. and perhaps it's easier if we negate what we felt at another age, Could be a choice we make or it could be that we only have a certain amount of energy/emotion to share out which compels us to filter out and discard things. Having said that it's something I have noticed too and often there's a glint of resentment in the eyes that hints at the fact that inside the passion still exists somewehere and they feel uncomfortable with someone else obviously still feeling "the force" (honestly - I never really liked Star Wars
) Not many people like being shown what they have lost. Mind you they could be right and it's just about time we bloody well grew up
Connecting in the real world does seem to get more difficult. I think as a society we are so much more fractured than we used to be, common bonds and ties just aren't there so much anymore. Coupled with the push for all of us to "improve", "get on" and "advance" in a world which places pre-eminence of the individual above all else makes for a nasty cauldron of self interest, gratification and taking what we can get from wherever, whenever, whoever. It could partly be an age thing too. It was easier to meet other people when we were all young "gad about town" types and when we get to be proper oldies there seems to be more provision for socialising, meeting othere stc. Perhaps we're just stuck in no mans land at the moment. On the other hand perhaps Crewe is just populated by horrible people or that it's just you
(you know I love ya baby
)
Devils Bargain has become a good aural mirror lately. Lots of individual line have resonance but it's more about the feel of the music with this one - it touches something inside that I can't quite put my finger on and to be honest I don't want too. It's enough that it does.
