Life Imitating Art

It's been a pretty rough few weeks. I've thought a lot on how transparent I want to be and I think I'm going to be more on the private side of things. The very general story is for the first time since Talia's passing, I started to see someone that I was very much interested in and as quick as it started it ended. It has put me in quite a funk and have so much to process. I learned some stuff about myself in the process that I'm working on. She was amazing but just not the right time which really stinks because at least for me, the time we spent together, was pretty incredible. That's about all I'm going to say on the details other than this is super painful and it stinks!

So this season of loss continues and the rejection feeds into a problem I never knew I had which may be why God has allowed this. He is working through it with me for which I'm grateful! 

Again, in a very general way, there have been 3 songs where it has been incredible how much life imitates art. 

For ever, music has used love, romance, and also the heartache of breakup as themes for songs. (I have no idea what today's "music" discusses). In my situation, the first of the 3 examples was one of the most incredible days of my life. I will let what was this most amazing day and moment which now just brings pain, be for me and her. If I were to name the song it would explain everything, but we lived it out in real time. Now I can't even look at the spot which I have to go past every day. 

The second example has more irony to it which again I'm not going to go into, but some of it is self explanatory and other parts of it are pretty ironic actually. I've always loved this song and wanted to work on it. Now I am. Here is the original clip and my start of learning it.

Lastly, I have always loved this song. So much so, I started to learn it on piano, this was before I began the relationship. First, I hardly ever listen to lyrics. So I loved the music so much, I was like what is this tune about? The song is very deceiving. Even the title which seems like it will be a totally upbeat song, end ups being kind of sad. As things were going well, I actually said to myself, I hope this song never comes true for me. It did! lol I still have all these challenges from covid I didn't do and still plan on doing them. LOL I think I did the Take 6 one and a West End Blues one, and one the Printups did. So I remembered I had this so here is me and Jacob Collier lol Short and not really sweet. Bad mixing and recording but didn't need to be professional. You can look up the words!
