Member-only story
Think of Laura by Christopher Cross. It’s all in the words.
When I was a kid, I may not have listened or paid attention to all the words-lyrics in a song. Yeah, I liked the beat for example Shaft or Superbly…. and especially Superfly I was a lot older before realizing what was transpiring in that song or even the movie.
But as I grew older and time past plus with taking up writing ***since 1987. I pay very much attentive to what is conveyed in the words and the tone.
This is the first time putting tis out there “on paper” so to speak. Oh, I have discussed this with friends and family on several occasions. However, sharing publicly with readers and fans no.
There is probably someone that will read this and be able to relate in one or another. I hope that not too many will have had the exact same experience.
Over the years, starting from junior high and up I lost some friends-some to car crashes or car related “accidents”. One was during 8th grade, and she happened to be a schoolmate who sat in front of me for math class. Janet. That was tough. She was a full of life person and I was friends-close with her cousins and uncle. He was one of my senseis for Judo. Walking home with a friend at night on a blind turn she was hit by a car.
