not for my neighbor, obviously. i'm speculating she or he recently broke up with someone. how do i know?
here's her/his soundtrack of late:
week 1: some Usher breakup song, from the album Confessions
week 2: How am I supposed to live without you? Michael Bolton
week 3: Just Once James Ingram
there's definitely a movement here: guilt, depression, regret. 2000s, 1990s, 1980s. my own movement has been this: amusement, pity (really now, Michael "the mullet" Bolton?!), and now, murder.
and i know it would be rather generous of me to try and understand her/his pain. but what about mine? going on week 4 now, and it's currently back to the same Usher song, the one where he screams, "Noooooo-oh-ooooh. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no." over and over and over. (and so close too: i might have been forgiving if s/he hit the 70s. lots of good songs, the 70s.) and really, night after night after night now: her/his pain is literally mine.
i bet we're both asking the same question even: when will it stop???
if ever he hits the 70s (well, '69, actually), here's what i would suggest. for both our sakes:
Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
The floods is threat'ning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
--Gimme Shelter, The Rolling Stones

doesn't sting have a great breakup song? it's called "why should i cry for you". granted it's a little sad, but also empowering. ha ha.
and what would it mean to say that i loved you in my fashion?
or something. but you have point there, dey! obviously, my neighbor needs to widen her/his horizons, musical and beyond.
would north be true?
has he/she started playing "i will survive" yet? ha ha.
dark angels follow me
over a godless sea...
...why should i cry for you
why would you want me to...
i happen to think it's an awesome song.
