Saturday morning at the mental clinic there was a girl who, though usually manically talking and talking and talking about how much she likes to practice guitar, is now in her depressive phase and so (temporarily) doesn’t want to do ANYTHING, not even music. She was pretty down and kept bringing the conversation back to how down she was. There’s not a lot you can say when someone feels like that really, so I drew a little picture of a bluebird and gave it to her instead and do you know it actually cheered her up. Well, a tiny bit anyway.
This may have inspired me:
I like these lyrics:
The bluebird flew over the fields of sorrow
as i left the scene and the dream watching the souls wallow
left you for more, left the room hollow
many will fall, a lot more will fallow
you take drugs to psyche your mind
You take wine, to forget about time
you create a world of your own
where the truth, will never be known
Many will fall
A lot more will follow

Yarah Bravo has this to say about it on her website “For me it is a very personal song, which i wrote when i was going through some hard times. I thought I’ve chosen the wrong path in my life, i was stuck at the crossroads and had to make some pretty big decisions. Luckily it looks like i made a good choice, and so i’m here today…. At the end of the day i see it as an uplifting song, about leaving a negative past behind you and moving forward.I hope you can relate and feel it the way i feel it. = )
I never wanted you to fall
i wanted you to follow.…“

As for me, I have two choices tonight. Either I stay home and do something REALLY constructive or…
…I go down the pub.
Place your bets!
