Since the last time you heard from me I lost a friend
Well, hell, me and Snoop, we dipping again

The Christmas song called Christmas Shoes. I sobbed like a baby the first time I heard that song.

Same thing with the theme song to Romeo and Juliet

The Living Years, by Mike and the Mechanics

I wish I would have told him, in the living years ...

say it loud, say it clear

you can listen as well as you hear

it's too late, when we die

to forget we don't see eye to eye

Really makes me think what it was like for those boys in Vietnam

Dont Cry Daddy Lyrics

Artist: Elvis Presley

Today I stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing in my head
My pillow still wet
From last night tears
And as I think of giving up
A voice inside my coffee-cup
Kept crying but
And ringing in my ears
Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry
Why are children always first
To feel the pain and hurt the worst
It's true, but somehow
It just don't seem right
'Cause ev'ry time I cry I know
It hurts my little children so
I wonder will it be the same tonight
Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry
Oh, daddy, please don't cry

Damn Talesin , that one really hurt, from way over here. I used to hear that song by Mike & the Mechanics and just lose it, every single time, like clockwork. I wish I could've told him, in the living years. I never had any biological children, so I can't relate to that aspect of the song, I do, however, realize much of who my father was now that I'm older. I know why he struggled in his relationships, why he suffered in not having a great handle on the raising of his children, why it was we were never really close, and why he couldn't reach out to me. I can no longer blame him any longer because, now, I'm living his life. I throughly understand his indifference and his unreachableness. I'm him, his spirit exist within me. I so throughly understand to the point that it's ghostlike. I think I felt his spirit, later that same year.......I just wish I could've told him, in the living years.

I have two:

1) The first one was when my marriage fell apart and I had left the JW's. I was in agony, thinking about my three little daughters, driving down the highway. I was especially thinking about my oldest daughter who was in Grade One. All of a sudden this song comes on the radio, by Wayne Newton-

Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast!

In which he sang about how he and his wife were separated, and after a visit to his broken family, with their child left behind, when he turned to leave, his little girl tried to run after him, and cried out:

"Daddy don't you walk so fast!"

My daughter cried,

"Daddy don't you walk so fast!"

"Daddy, slow down some,

'Cuz you're makin' me run....

Daddy don't you walk so fast!"

There I was on that lonely highway, and I just lost it, and had to pull over and cried my eyes out in agony. There was no way to reconcile a religiously divided home, when dialogue was not allowed by JW rules.

The second song was one by Neil Sedak (and others), called "Solitaire":

"Now solitaire's the only game in town,

And every road that takes him, takes him down.

And life goes on around him everywhere,

He's playing Solitaire!"

This was during my in between state, between a broken marriage, and rebuilding my life to a new and brighter future. Stll, after all these years, when I hear those songs, they trigger all of the pain from my past. It's so sad, but glad it is in the past!
