A brief discussion with Mr T reminded me of a song that means more to me now than it did at the time.
I'll leave it to Mr T to post that song,
Mine is
As far as I can guess it is about putting on a brave face to be with your loved one. It brings me to tears every time. In my 20s it was just a song that I liked.
[Verse]We live on a mountain right at the topThere's a beautiful view from the top of the mountainEvery morning I walk towards the edgeAnd throw little things offLike car parts, bottles, and cutleryOr whatever I find lying around
[Pre-Chorus]It's become a habitA way to start the day
[Chorus]I go through all this before you wake upSo I can feel happier to be safe up here with youI go through all this before you wake upSo I can feel happier to be safe up here with you
[Verse]It's early morning, no one is awakeI'm back at my cliff, still throwing things offI listen to the sounds they make on their way downI follow with my eyes till they crashI imagine what my body would sound likeSlamming against those rocks
For me the song that I loved and now resonates very much goes back to 1976. Eric Carmen "All by myself" I think I'd just broken up with my first boyfriend at that point.
I've edited out a huge chunk here explaining why it means so much to me - it was a bit long winded! I'm trying to undo over 60 years of masking. I was out with some neuro typicals yesterday and realised just how very different I am and how unlikely it is that I will feel comfortable in situations where I might make new friends.

Hi Inula. Your post is very touching. I would have liked to have read the pre edit version, but totally understand.
