Lorraine Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Rush couldn't come to Spokane, but Jimmy Eat World could. Thought of you, Segue, as soon as I saw they were coming here. They don't really ever come here. Makes me sad! When they do it's normally just one or two London gigs. I love them they are a warm hug! Have you been listening to anything lately? For three months I listened to not one thing. Until today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For three months I listened to not one thing. Until today. That can be a good thing. And coming back to it is often the best feeling! What did you play? Also my local record store has a huge stand of classic prog and a lot of Moody Blues is in a deal. Tempted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 The Moodies are making a big to-do about the 50th anniversary of DOFP. That's probably why there are a lot of albums by them displayed. I played Tom Petty's Running Down A Dream. Some things I can't listen to yet. Time is not right. Still too raw. You know what it's like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played Tom Petty's Running Down A Dream. Some things I can't listen to yet. Time is not right. Still too raw. You know what it's like. I do. I've started playing music a lot more lately that I listened to in my more innocent years. It is really a blessing having choice beyond the recent. I've wondered if that's why Rush and me fell out. I played them through a breakdown that was severe and now they feel so...cold...shame. I haven't played that album I don't think (or is it a song?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) I won't be able to listen to a lot of songs for a while. I just resurrected from the dead today. Five months buried alive. Edited May 2, 2017 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can help in any way I am a listening ear. But I also know privacy is key and friendship can be a great distraction if left for banter! This thread needs a dusting anyway haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Music's power.... i remember periods where I couldn't listen to certain things... Sometimes you get a song stuck in your head and can't dislodge it for weeks. During the time it's playing nonstop in your brain, things happen. Those events are forever associated with the song. The memory of the event may fade, but the song brings you right back to it. I'm not ready for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm used to having emotional reactions to music, and for the most part, I welcome that. But some stuff... yeah. Too raw, too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 I know exactly what you mean about losing some of that "innocence." Things happen and you know you will never ever, no matter what, be the same again. You find out what you're made of though. It's either sink or swim. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
