Post a song that means something to you.

This is Barenaked Ladies's "Helicopters". Many of you may not know that their songs aren't all light and jokey. Their songwriting is as strong as anyone's. This one is downright chilling, and hauntingly timely considering the Ukraine situation. It's about how the band felt hypocritical visiting war-torn countries only to be whisked back in a hot second. I have a terrible fear of abandonment, and my brain latched onto the refrain "I'll be...leaving soon" as a warning from my loved ones, friends, lovers, and even pets as they prepare to exit my life. Can't listen to this one without 😢.

I like to say that Shakespeare missed the boat. Because although Shakespeare wrote about great loves, he never wrote about the love of a parent for a child. And for many of us, that is far and away the greatest love in our lives.

@ElwoodBlues Kids do better if parents don't live for them, and are happy and love their Mom/Dad.🙂
