I have a thing for songs with the sound of rain on them… ‘Well I wonder’ by The Smiths springs to mind here… I love your writing Vix… all my love to you …x

Mr. Pogo: oh mr. pogo, come help me relieve my sorrow and I will do the same for you. Thanks for the note. Vix

T: thanks! I’ll take it.

Tristram Shandy: oh ya know, I own this one. thanks for thinking of me. I have now moved on to some very moving punk rock to lift my spirits and make move. Thanks as always for being here.
xoxo.

Topaz:Thank you for your kindness and the read. I am a soldier, a sex soldier. I bounce back with fire in my heart and between my legs.

John and Ann: thank you so much for you compliments and presence on my blog. I appreciate it much. Funny about Cohen, I like his voice sometimes, but I do love others doing his work. Love his written word too.

max: always ALWAYS, nice to see you here love.

The Panserbjørne: Thanks sweet stuff. I will be looking forward to reading your post, of course I have learned my lesson about reading you at work, makes as wet as all this rain, and crazy with want. So I will save it for tonight.

I’m very sorry to hear you’re in such a bad state right now. Let me know if you want to talk — you know how to reach me.

This must be a week for reflection. I’m writing about my own past loves, though not with quite this much raw detail.

Be well. And by the way, write whatever you damn well please here — this is your space and your right to do what you want.

Vixen,

This is a story told with exquisite clarity and depth. The loss and pain you feel is evident without becoming maudlin. Hopefully from writing and sharing your story, you find some measure of comfort.

Your choices in music fit the mood of the piece perfectly and your mood at that moment in time. Few people write better song of loves lost than Elvis Costello and Leonard Cohen (although I don’t really care for his voice when he sings his own songs). Buckley’s version of Hallelujah is truly haunting as is for that matter Rufus Wainright’s and John Cale’s.

I can’t even say I understand, and I won’t say I’m in the same headspace, but girl, I hope these memories are fleeting. Don’t get me wrong; I’m happy you don’t loose sight of how far you’ve come – some people couldn’t rise from that, and I’ve seen moments of you that prove you have. But I’m feel for how you feel right now. Hugs my dear…

Ma’am,

For true mourning I recommend the following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjsHzpxT1Qc forgive me the inelegant sequence of html. It brings you to a 78 recording of a fine bluesman, if ever sorrow and insight can elevate our understanding of oursleves, then this, for me is it.
Enjoy

Yours, as ever,

T. Shandy

Aw, fuck. I am there, too. With all my self-pity and sadness. My New Year has been pretty shitty, too… in a way it’s funny, because I can feel that something good will eventually come out of it, that I will know more about what I want and don’t want, and know more about how to not let my life slip out of control… but lately I’ve just been lying in bed at night and crying.

Here is one I found tonight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0mc1rQG7Uc

Big hugs to you
