Sending you good vibes and strength Steve - sounds like a really tough situation. I'm in awe of your courage and hope you can find some peace and happiness.

WhipperSnapperSteve · 24/04/2021 12:47

Wow, you're all just so amazing and your kind words had me in tears last night. I had a self-destructive episode on Thursday night (coping strategy) but had an appointment with a senior psychologist yesterday and I'm starting a four-month clinic next week that's designed to teach coping strategies - I think it will help me.

I went for a drive yesterday, something I used to take great pleasure from but has felt numb for a very long time, along with many other things. It felt great! Hopefully the proper me will start to emerge.

I'm a very damaged person. Music has been my solace for many years and lyrics the way of expressing my feelings. I think this will become even more powerful.

It's like the whole dynamic has changed.

I thank you for taking the time to comment, you're wonderful people and I am truly grateful 💗

And a couple of lyrics:

I've been roaming around,
Always looking down and all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach

2000s, but I'm feeling rebellious and I genuinely thought it older, but it's a beautiful song. The second one is older, promise 🤣🤣

So take these words and sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

Ooooops, apparently this is 2000s too....shit, @CoffeeBeansGalore is going to kill me 😂

midgedude · 24/04/2021 14:11

Glad today is better.

Music is fantastic.

But I am not hearing your lyrics at all!

WhipperSnapperSteve · 24/04/2021 14:49

Thank you SmileSmile

I'll wait for everyone else to have a look, if no beans I'll spill tonight Grin

This is very apt - Goo goo dolls - Better Days

By the way, @Honeyroar , I hear you're setting up a little business. If you'd like a professional website (I was very senior in the industry before disability hit), for free (just domain (£20 pa) and hosting (£10 pcm)) just let me know. Same goes for all of you, as a thank you.

WhipperSnapperSteve · 24/04/2021 15:32

And yes to Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days Smile

Honeyroar · 24/04/2021 18:32

That’s very kind of you Steve.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/04/2021 20:04

Evening all

Steve, glad you are sounding more positive. Keep going!

Both 80s

The devil take your stereo and your record collection (oh-oh)
The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension

I'll be the sun shining on you
Hey Cinderella step in your shoe
I'll be your non-stop lover
Get it while you can

Glad to see it looks like you may have a way forward .

I think this is Need somebody - Kings of Leon

shinynewapple21 · 24/04/2021 20:08

Hi Coffee

Your first one is Adam and the ants
Is it stand and deliver ?

Honeyroar · 24/04/2021 20:10

Yes I think it’s Stand and deliver too.

The other one is Billy Ocean - Get out of my dreams get into my car.

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 24/04/2021 20:12

Hmmm. Not speaking to me.

A couple of easy 80s...

Under a blood-red sky

She says her love for me will never die

Well, you were licking your lips and your lipstick shining

WhipperSnapperSteve · 24/04/2021 20:14

It is Kings of Leon shiny, but called Use Somebody Smile

WhipperSnapperSteve · 24/04/2021 20:17

Well, you were licking your lips and your lipstick shining

Is Meatloaf - You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth.

Can you pick something with a shorter title next time? Grin

Honeyroar · 24/04/2021 20:18

Under a blood red sky is U2, but which one? Sunday Bloody Sunday?

WhipperSnapperSteve · 24/04/2021 20:19

She says her love for me will never die

Is that Bryan Adams - Run to You? If not it's very similar...

Honeyroar · 24/04/2021 20:19

Love will never die one is Bryan Adam’s Run to you.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/04/2021 20:22

Correct Shiny & Honey 👍😊

Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands

80s - one of my favourite bands Smile

Honeyroar · 24/04/2021 20:25

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
(80s)

WhipperSnapperSteve · 24/04/2021 20:28

@Honeyroar

Love will never die one is Bryan Adam’s Run to you.
Maybe not, it was bugging me so I just listened to it.

Instead of "She says her love for me will never die", it's "She says her love for me could never die".

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 24/04/2021 20:28

Alive and kicking. Simple minds
