Knowing Me, Knowing You
There were a number of songs written by Abba that reflected my divorce experiences and this is one of them. They must have know exactly what it felt like and how much it hurt.
'...In these old familiar rooms children would play
Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say...'
Divorce was an extremely painful time in my life.
Is the rise in divorce due to society or are we expecting too much of life?

Killing Me Softly
How many times has a song spoken directly to you, rather like the one above spoke to me?
'...Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song...'
'...Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song...'
And that's precisely why I love song lyrics.
Is there a song that speaks directly to you?
