@Glisten "had a little accident, nothing too serious."
Iva is coming to Perth next year but at $152 to sit on the grass at Sandalford I think I'll pass. I went to a gig there once many years ago, lots of drunks running around and screaming, 5 mile lines for the toilets, think I'll pass. I love you Iva, but not that much!
Of course if I win lotto would you like to join me at the VIP area? Tix are a steal at $407 each!
David Draiman is another singer whom I love. His voice is pure magic (says the Christian who doesn't follow the belief in magic)

@GlistenEven when I was very young, there was something about Cat Steven's songs that i really liked. Maybe because a lot of it was from around the time I was born. As I got older and started to understand what they were about, they just connected to me more and more. His songs were the first I ever remember having meaning to me, rather just just liking the music for how it sounded.
I also just loved that latter version he did for the Tea for the Tillerman² as a duet with his younger self as the son.

@ENKELI I love Disturbed! I remember when I discovered The Sickness, I made a copy of the CD to have in the car. A few CD's in my glovebox got stolen once, so I never kept originals in there anymore. It got played so many times for so long, people started commenting every time they got in my car... "Are you still playing that?!". It lasted so long the CD literally wore out and stopped playing. 😁
That cover of The Sound of Silence was incredibly power and i blew me away the first time I heard it. The did some really awesome covers over the years.

For those that like music a bit on the heavier side, here is one from a Swedish metal band that always resonated with me...

@MJG017 yes, Down With the Sickness is another favourite of mine. The Light is also on my top list.
I hear you regarding CDs being stolen. Except when my car got broken into the little b*stards didn't like my selection so they threw them around the car park and on the road next to my car. I have a few CDs in my car now but they are all Christian artists that no self respecting hooligan would steal. Everything else is on a thumb drive or SD card. And I now feel embarrassed as the RAC guy who came to replace my tyres would have had to endure Taylor Swift when he moved my car. I really should pay the guy more.
Those friends who commented about you still playing Disturbed need to accept that The David is someone to whom we should listed daily!
This song resonates with me and brings up the destruction of my friendship with my best friend/soul mate/mother of my (former) Godchildren. Long live The David.

Dear @ENKELI
I'm alright .....um I keep on hinting to you things have been painful. I have no idea why I go to therapy.
I mean,,,,,21 years and I'm there weekly.
So, about a month ago, there I was ..... And it dawned on me.
My mother stole both my sons from me when they both turned the age of 15 and I collapsed.
There was a reason why I didn't talk properly. I practically died.
Golly. I think I'm forgiving myself that I wrote half sentences to Sane forum people all those years ago. Heaps of them.
It's taking a lot of time, effort and care to try and get my two sons to speak to me because she still bitches about me to them. I have proof.

This morning I'm writing down my budget financed and getting it all down .

@PeppyPatti oh honey, never apologise for expressing yourself. It's when we don't let it out that things get worse.
I had my Godchildren ripped away from me when they were turning 16 and 14. It has been one of the most painful, traumatic experiences of my life. I helped raise them from when they were 6 and 4, supporting them financially, spiritually and emotionally.
They were not my biological children.
I can't begin to imagine the pain you go through having your children taken from you by your own mother. And having that same mother speak negatively about you to your boys is criminal.
I can't do much these days but I can pray for you. God is not fond of me but He does at least answer prayers I pray for others.
I know I will never get to see my Godchildren again. May God grant you the reunion you so richly deserve.
It's okay to not be okay and again, don't be sorry that you're talking about yourself. Heck, I jabber on about myself way too much and so far nobody has told me to shut up 😊
