Musical Interlude

I'm been struggling to get used to the format of IMEEM, my current substitute in the wake of the demise of Launchcast and the perfidy (frankly) of Last.fm. It's not really what I'm looking for, but is giving me a flawed means of exploring.

The following is not a new discovery, but another old find from my Launchcast days, and when I checked my Facebook profile this morning, this YouTube video of my very favourite Cheryl Wheeler song was there. It is, to my mind, more of a winter song, but the sentiments are seasonless:
Everywhere I turn,
Everyone is lost in this thing
'Cause something feels gone
Life is nothing like we dreamed it might be.
And we don't move forward, can't move back
We hold our hands out,
Hoping for that...

One love, that's all of it
Deep nights and quiet days
Long lovers, old comforts
Feel like some ball and chain.

I guess we're really gettin' old
Always worrying we're wasting our time,
Wantin' somethin' new to hold
Some affair would be the perfect crime.
Long roads crumble, forevers fall apart
One day we don't know
Why we're so far from...

One love, that's all of it
Deep nights and quiet days
Long lovers, old comforts
Feel like some ball and chain.

And if I want you and you want me,
We'll call it love though it might not be.
Hearts on fire, souls in line
Oh, just to know that, just to feel that one more time.

Seems impossible to know
What is real and what is just some restless thing
And our hearts learn slow
All the miseries bad choices bring.
So is it wise or lazy,
Holding tight to what you've known?
And is it brave or crazy,
Searching for some...

One love, that's all of it
Deep nights and quiet days
Long lovers, old comforts
Feel like some ball and chain...
