things we cant change

sometimes songs say it for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_U4_UIdkW4

You used to love a lot of things,You used to love talking
This you never told me about
If it's what your eyes were saying, I already figured it out
I could just tell it was bad,I couldn't tell how bad
You never took off your shades, you stayed like that for days

I guess your pain never weakened
Your cool blood started burning
Scorching most of us in the flames
There are things you can't change
You called that the curse of a human's life, That you couldn't change
Said you'd never be old enough, Or young enough, Tall enough, smart enough, brave enough, Rich enough, Strong enough, Good enough

Well you were to us...

---Jason Molina

Powerful lyrics, powerful pic! Love the idea of an eye

I suppose it's because you're never entirely alone. Wonderful image.

@adayinmallacoota yes his songs seem to kick me in the guts! Krista warned me he was gut wrenching....

@mastermek I'm not sure i get you, he was alone... he didnt have to be but he thought he was. now i tell my other sons that he is with them all the time in spirit, but i dont know if they understand or think i am delusional.

beautifully executed. Evokes so much we just understand less and less as time goes on.

@francoise perhaps letting go of trying to understand at all is the way to go !
October 11th, 2015  
Really clever!

@kali66 That might be true, but I'm not sure that we're made that way.

@susale I've been wanting to use that sunflare, it tried putting my son's picture over it, but it didnt work.
October 11th, 2015  
Really thought-provoking, Kali!

Sorry I was unclear! I was referring to the phrase 'sometimes songs say it for you'. I meant there is always someone in the same (tough) situation who is or was able to give it place in some way, like a book, a poem, a painting, a song, for others to somehow cope with their own issues. It's a great thing if it helps you 'to let go', which, and I'm truly sorry, wasn't the case for son.

@mastermek oh, yes i know what you mean now, i have learned the value of all kinds if art speaking to me , resonating with how i feel and helping me heal, especially some of my friends here who i feel i have a spiritual connection to and song writers such as this guy

Fascinating. Imaginative.
October 11th, 2015  
Good to hear it works for you. I sure hope it also helps your sons!
October 11th, 2015  
Kali, this is beautiful!!!! Your thought of letting go of trying to understand has been something I have learned to do. Sometimes we search for answers that aren't there or we can't comprehend. Be kind to yourself and keep the faith!
October 11th, 2015  
Awesome shot!
October 11th, 2015  
my first thoughts when I looked at this was that it was disturbing...going solely on the comments because I do not know your story, it is disturbing but in a different way. I pray you heal.
