 The Girl In The Song

This one is self-explanatory. You woo the wrong woman, you get nowhere fast. If rejection and the accompanying frustration were not so profound we'd never do anything worth shit. The life of the artist or the life of the mind are in some ways grossly inflated by the people who toil in the arts. The rather obvious and un-gratifying truth is that nothing we do matters and nothing we accomplish lasts. Meaningfulness comes embedded in the context, and so when times change or the people who knew what was what die off, context is lost and with it meaningfulness. Bottom line? Things change and we all move right along. When we look back, things just don't mean what they used to mean. 

Sometimes you see docos about the girl in the song - and in most part they're utterly meaningless because the song is the song is the song, and it exists outside and away from the actual girl. We're blessed that there is a separation of identities there. It's stating the bleeding obvious but a song about a certain girl is not the girl herself. I might even venture to say in this instance this song is much better than the girl in the song.  

The funny thing about people is you can tell a lot about them by what they do, much more than what they say. 

Come join the fun.
