I love "confessional" stories - there's a sense of urgency and intimacy when you're writing them, like you're desperately trying to convey a message to someone. Your encouragement to keep writing is very, very much appreciated - I will if you will! ;)<br /><br />Dan - Awww! And here I am, just following your blog, too! ;)<br /><br />Your comments in particular here are really, really wonderful, because this was the exact feeling I was trying to convey with this piece. When I first heard "I Summon You," it reminded me of a time back in 2001, when I heard some late '90s pop song on the radio and realized that the world was a different place than when I first heard the song. It just broke my heart. I ended up bawling behind the steering wheel all the way home. It wasn't even a song I'd LIKED, but the realization that I'd never hear that song the way I did just a couple of years earlier made me sad in ways I'd never felt before. I've never listened to that song again.<br /><br />It's so funny - we grow up, we find new meanings in music we'd heard all our lives, and yet somehow, we still find ourselves yearning for simpler times, when music was just music.PersicaPithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14155869557837774642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825992509556426531.post-56433167259555614112009-04-29T10:21:00.000-04:002009-04-29T10:21:00.000-04:00Persica...

I recognize all the Dylan, CCR, Young etc. references in your post and your take on how music is viewed when we are young and how it is viewed as we get older is very poignant. This is one of those posts that I read twice...first to enjoy and then to reflect. There is a song by Tom Rush called "Child's Song". Strange thing happened the other day to me...I had not heard it since 1972. At that time I strongly identified with the child...this time I strongly identified with the parent in the song. Wiping the tears while listening...I don't think I could listen to it again.<br /><br />DanDan Felsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917775645881312007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825992509556426531.post-82042349651618429682009-04-23T07:05:00.000-04:002009-04-23T07:05:00.000-04:00Another well written piece.

Many phrases are wonderful: stitched into my heart, my constant in the darkness, before the world crept in.

She's truly one of the greats. :)PersicaPithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14155869557837774642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825992509556426531.post-16915891260059959882009-04-20T14:58:00.000-04:002009-04-20T14:58:00.000-04:00I like that.
