Song of the day: Change For You - The Midway State
An Exert from the book Love Songs by Lawrence Sanders
“Because,” Graves explained, “love songs are “nice” songs. They’re dream songs. Pot-of-gold-at-the-end-of-the-rainbow songs. Love is what everyone wants and no one finds.”
That was when Bobbie Vander said somberly, “No Hap. People find it but love corrupts, and absolute love corrupts absolutely. Parents and children, husbands and wives, and especially lovers: love corrupts them all. Because you have an image of the loved one. And the loved one, sometimes unloving, still attempts to adapt your image. But then you find the image is a sad substitute of what you first saw in the loved one. We change to accommodate love. And by changing, we destroy it. That first insanity cools. By changing what we are to answer the lover’s demands. And by answering them, we kill the heat. Nothing more? That’s what the lover asks then. Nothing more? Is that all there is? If there’s everything, there’s nothing. There has to be something more "

"Don’t fall in love, don’t fall in love,
Take wings and soar to find it.
Fly high above, to pledge your love,
And give a kiss to bind it."
