Why ThisSongIsOver?



You may be wondering the source of my blog's name - Or Not.
 But this is how I got the name:





Best lyrics in the song:

This song is over
I'm left with only tears
I must remember
Even if it takes a million years


When Gary and I got married in 1975, we didn't have enough money to buy a TV.  For several months while we saved up for one, our source of entertainment was watching two freshwater fish aquariums on a massive sturdy stand that Gary built, and listening to LP's.  We merged our albums into one stack.  Gary liked female vocalists like Carly Simon and Carol King. I had artists like Seals & Croft, Foghat, James Taylor and Rod Stewart. We both had Yellow Brick Road and this album, Who's Next by The Who.  I have loved, This Song Is Over and these lyrics since I first heard it at around age 15 or 16.

It used to mean a person singing about a lost love, and now it means(to me) that the love I have for Gary is over, at least in the form it was prior to the day he died. Now my love for him is probably stronger, but one sided, with me being the ONE who is expressing my love for him in my life.
If that's the way it has to be,  I'll take it. Not much choice, is there.
