i think i had asked this question awhile back; much thanks to ava for asking it again.

when a song touches you in places people can't see, there's a somewhat diabolical tendency to claim it as one's own. and that's a beautiful thing; but when that cold draft of doubt comes blowing in, you wonder if you're correctly interpreting the song.

i've been shivering ever since 'born for love.' but now, with the song's background in mind, i can safely say i'm warming up a bit. i can't even begin to count the number of times that song has pulled me out, or at least leveled me off, of some dark mental funk.

disclaimer: i'm sure i've said this before... i don't want these ramblings to appear like some therapy-induced epiphany (not that there's anything wrong with therapy; it's just not my bag); i simply want to state what a profound effect your songs can have, david. and thank the heavens for that.

regards all,
chris
