Oh wendijane and SOS and others here....I avoided this thread like the plague for days and weeks after his death. I was afraid that reading back on these posts and the promise of the future for him would bring fresh tears to me. My heart has a big hole in it. But then I thought that maybe he really isn't dead - that somehow he's gone to a place where his one true love is and is living happily ever after...I so wanted him to have a "happily ever after"....so much...
I feelya Linda :hug: I really do. I couldn't come back here either for that same reason.
Well, I still say its not an outlandishly inconceivable concept
in line with our thread thus far and I do strongly remind us to be
very careful with this aspect and keep it to the nature of our thread topic ... y'know ... we
have to be careful if we like "living" here LOL!
With that understood, the lyrics to his new song
could serve as a "clue" to the fact that we can at least justify feeling that its remotely and I stress the word
remotely possible ..
She said don’t you worry my friend
I’ll take care
Take my hand
I'll take you there
Ooohhh
If his promise of a future with
"her" was not a practical promise for him to keep, at least at the present time (if ever) could it be because maybe he needed to seriously solve some of his most present/pressing problems to move out of the spotlight to a safe place that someone with substantial means could offer him, then it could make sense that that's what could have happened. His "happily ever after" doesn't have to be with that person he'd been searching for all that time. It could be someone he met who took his "hand" and offerred him solace/respite from the world. On a remote far away island perhaps?
I guess I thought of that in listening to Quincy Jones' life story, he talked about how he desperately needed a break from all the hard work he'd been doing over the decades, and a friend sent him to some far away land in (I think it was) the South Pacific and the people there rejuvinated his spirits and gave him everything he needed to recover from what for him was a major break down.
I know it sounds crazy but I mean, if we want to just offer ourselves some "closure" or "hope" or something in line with "happily ever after" because it is what we all have wanted for him so much and the
new lyrics
do or could certainly fit.
And it could give a new meaning to that line from the movie "Ghost"
"The love inside, you take it with you"
Well, that's easy enough to do if you're only going to some remote spot on the planet.
And it could give new meaning to the line from West Side Story,
"now it begins, now it starts, one hand, one heart, even death won't part us now"
If "death" is for a time, season and purpose then I guess it won't eh. OK, I admit it sounds completely nutzo .................but it
fits imho.
Just thoughts is all it is, maybe could offer some consolation .... maybe
I feel sure a lot of us have been feeling what you're feeling. Still somehow, things continue to "line up" with the music and our thoughts!
isn't that insteresting
:better: just trying to help u feel better ... I feel the hurt in you. I think we all have it. You're not alone. Maybe this helps
a little.
