Just an idea...

Lisa Loeb - Stay lyrics
You say I only hear what I want to.
You say I talk so all the time so.
And I thought what I felt was simple,
and I thought that I don't belong,
and now that I am leaving,
now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you.
Yeah yeah, I missed you.
And you say I only hear what I want to:
I don't listen hard,
don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
to anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no.
So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
and this woman was singing my song:
lover's in love, and the other's run away,
lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay.
Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
dying since the day they were born.
Well, well, this is not that;
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.
And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure.
You try to tell me that I'm clever,
but that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.
You said that I was naive,
and I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.
Yeah, I miss you.
You said, "I caught you 'cause I want you and one day I'll let you go."
You try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just
scared to lose.
And you say, "Stay."
And you say I only hear what I want to.

So sad. I am reminded of what is real and important. And its not SL.

Wow yet another anonymous person leaving an unwarranted comment. If you don't like Second Life, don't login or read blogs that support it.

Anyways... that is also one of my absolute fav songs, Jelly. Very cool. :-)

the song is beautiful, sad, haunting. i know several people going through intense SL and RL drama now and my intent was to point out that it is always the people in our lives that matter.

yeah, i prefer to be a voice with no name for my own reasons. don't like it? skip my comment. or bite me.
