And I Love Her ...

Nothing today. Or a nothing day. Just a song:

And I Love Her, Santo and Johnny

Music Changes Everything

Some nights become very, very difficult.

And then I turn on the music. And I can make it through another night.

For Cher this was personal. It was never my story. It was never our story. But it helps me get through the night. If I play it really, really loud. And drown out the pain. Smile.

Believe, Cher

Four Years Of Love

I can honestly say that listening to this song while reading a James Herriot book or paging through the oversize atlas of satellite images of Yorkshire can put me into the depths of unimaginable despair.

One Year of Love, Freddy Mercury

One year of love is worth more than a lifetime alone. 

I don't know if it is true that one year of love is worth the subsequent heartache and despair.

But it is what it is.

I think of Dolly Parton, "I Will Always Love You."
