“Another night slowly closes in
And I feel so lonely”
In the spring and summer of 1988 this song was on the radio all the time, yes even in BFE Kansas. So, it’s no surprise that it conjures up memories from that time and as previously mentioned in my Hysteria post this was not a good time in my life. This song in particular reminds me of the car ride home with my mother after I had run away from home (Saint Francis, Kansas) and lived in the desert (outside Phoenix, Arizonia) at 16, it was playing on the radio during that very long ride back to Saint Francis. That is also about the time I started to really realize the very first villain in my life was my own mother. Although I’m sure if you asked her, she would claim she was the victim but as the child in that relationship and also as a parent myself I can say without hesitation I was most definitely the victim.
Larry’s Perspective:
This song was a classic the moment it came out in 1988. Back in my day I would have referred to it as a perfect manic-depressive song - because I was still in high school and getting my heart broken.
But it's also borderline Every Breath You Take creepy. Just borderline...
