Was listening to the Waterboys yesterday…such a lovely, sad tune.
By The Waterboys
I’m too tired to deceive you
We can’t pretend there’s nothing wrong
Who’ll be first to say it —
That the thrill is gone
And we’ll never get it back
And when we talk of old acquaintance,
Speak like two strangers all day long
The only four words that I hear
Are the thrill is gone
And we’ll never get it back
When evening drops magenta
And “goodbye” hangs on and on and on and on and on
I won’t need to go to sleep and dream to tell me
That the thrill is gone
And we’ll never get it back
I was having an email conversation about a friend’s friend who is getting a divorce. This person’s friend said that the “spark” is gone and that’s why they were splitting up. My reply went like this:
That is sad. I guess I’m a little bit confused about what people mean by “spark.” I mean, Daniel’s my favorite person to be with, so does that mean “spark”? Or is she talking like “spark” like you get when you first fall in love? Because that just doesn’t last, and it shouldn’t last, you know. Who wants to spend their life mooning over someone?
I could spend my life mooning over the Waterboys, though.

Besides that, we’d never get anything done while in a constant state of twitterpation.
