Ahh, Valentines day....a day celebrating love and all its complicated nuances. Contemplating the whole thing tends to furrow the brow so bad the only thing that can make it right is a little bit of music. But what does that special someone, or someones (geez, it only gets more complicated doesn't it?) evoke the desire to say?
I want you, I need you, come back to me, back off of me, Im over the knots you tie in my chest...ok just this one last time.
Any of these statements ringing a bit too familiar???
Yeah, all of them, sometimes being spoken simultaneously...
Don't be afraid. Embrace it. The worst it can do is eat you alive and leave you a mumbling hermetic mess. But hey, it feeds the art, whatever your art may be (and if your only outlet is the bottle, then talk about a wellspring of inspiration!)
