Although I've been here for most of the time since I was 14, I still really feel "Northern-lass" inwardly, being from County Durham originally. My Dad's job brought us here in 1963 and at that age I wasn't exactly happy about it! Still---the Island isn't as staid as many thousands know only too well having had it's great rock-festivals in the 60's/70's and STILL doing so "today"! I might be older in years,but that's all---as my pretty extensive music-collection can testify! It'd be super to "hear" from anyone still as "young" as myself!!
My Ideal Person
Anyone friendly---not "old-fashioned"---we're still alive,aren't we??!! in a youthful world! Obviously not in a silly,never-matured way, but equally, anyone interested in both the lighter discussions in life, yet, just as happy "putting the world to rights" with a bit of back-and-forth debate,whether we agree on everything or not!! I probably seem a bit "both-worlds"----but,there, I AM "Gemini" by sign and nature! (In the best sense,of course!) Hope to "meet" you soon!!--who knows --------

Look around wonder why we can live a life that's never satisfied Lonely hearts troubled minds looking for a way that we can never find Many roads are ahead of us with choices to be made But life's just one of the games we play There is no special way Make the best of what's given you everything will come in time why deny yourself don't just let life pass you by like winter in July
Future dreams can never last when you find yourself still living in the past Keep moving on to higher ground looking for the way you thought could not be found We may not know the reason why we're born into this world where a man only lives to die his story left untold Make the best of what's given you everything will come in time why deny yourself don't just let life pass you by like winter in July
And we may not know the reason why we're born into this world where a man only lives to die his story left untold Make the best of what's given you everything will come in time why deny yourself don't just let life pass you by like winter in July
(Winter in July----Sarah Brightman)
And--a truly beautiful,haunting song for all those who ever truly felt--passion!!--as opposed to--well-Mechanics!!!!!!!!-------
(From the album "BEGGAR ON A BEACH OF GOLD")
It was an unbelievable night She was an unremarkable girl You may not call it poetry But it changed my world
It was an unforgettable dawn She was an indisputable fact Even if I could have I might not have it back
It's an unexceptional day She's an unavoidable truth Uncompromised elation Suspended since my youth
It's an unforgivable lie I have nothing in my defence There can be no forgiveness To caution this descent
It wasn't in a dream A film or on TV This was really happening Happening to me Though I may protest Suggest I never knew The ghost comes back to haunt me
I held her hand outside the hotel Kissed her mouth in the back of the car Whether fact or fantasy I knew we'd gone too far
I feel her breath on the back of my neck She's lying naked here on the floor Wrap the sheet around her Disappear beyond the door
It wasn't in a dream A film or on TV This was really happening Happening to me Though I may protest Suggest I never knew The ghost comes back to haunt me
It was an unbelievable night She was an unremarkable girl You may not call it poetry But it changed my world
It was an unforgettable dawn She was an indisputable fact Even if I could have I might not have it back
It's an unexceptional day She's an unavoidable truth Uncompromised elation Suspended since my youth
It's an unforgivable lie I have nothing in my defence There can be no forgiveness To caution this descent
Any guys out there still feel this way?--or--is it now all too--"modern"--and---"empty"-??--!!!--
-OK--then,
Listen to this--it will stir your soul---!!!!!-- xxx
