I swore on my blood that I will not blog again for a long time until I get over Eve. Well I got news for you. Swearing on bad blood is just as loyal as Fredo Corleone promising never to betray the family. So says my inner conscience.
Blogging has become more than just a passion to me. I may not be the type who likes to share every intimate incident with the whole wide world. But one thing is for sure: I love to write about my life and share it with people around me who care enough to know about the various cultures and mindset of people in this vast diversity of an entity that we call India.
Why did I decide to start blogging again? Because I realized that shutting myself out will not help me at all in making me get over Eve. I am a complete music freak. I always relate myself or people around me to a particular song that I am listening to. Right now I am playing Fort Minor’s “Where’d you go”. The more I listen to it, the more I miss Eve. So I switch to a more “house” kinda music thinking it won’t remind me about her and then there was Dirty Vegas’ “Days go by” singing “You… still a whisper on my lips, I feel it up my fingertips… Days go by and still I think of you, days go when I couldn’t live my life without you”. Every song that I play, I couldn’t help stop thinking about Eve.
It’s amazing how many songs are out there that’s about people missing people. Every great band that has left a legacy behind has atleast composed one song that’s about separation. Recording Labels know such kinda songs sell coz everyone falls in love and gets hurt atleast once in their one time lifecycle.
My friends say I get too sentimental when it comes to love. I guess that’s just the way I am. Coz we are no longer teenagers experimenting with love and infatuation. People in our age group feel it’s time to stop fooling around and start searching for that one special person you’d want to spend the rest of your life with. I’ve found mine and yet I lost her. Nothing explains how I exactly feel about love right now more that Bryan Ferry’s “Slave to Love”. Guess I will always be the sentimental kind… the type that wants to get serious in a relationship and see beyond a simple one night thingie.
Love is a crazy little thing. Sometimes it gives you a glimpse of Heaven and sometimes it is pure Hell. And who says it better than Chris Norman who sang “Some hearts are diamonds, some hearts are stone…” It’s one of my fav classics that I just can’t stop listening to right now. Speaking of classic, another fav song of mine is Don William’s “Shot full of love”. When I first started becoming serious with Eve, all my closest friends were surprised. Kima you’re not the settle down type. Kima this is a long distance relationship, are you sure about it? Kima the two of you are poles apart, how did she ever like you? But I changed completely and managed to make things work. It’s as if the entire song has been written just for me.
“Once I had a heart cold as ice, love to me was only for fun.
I’d make a mark for each broken heart, like notches on a butt of a gun.
Once I had a trick up my sleeve, and a reputation all over town.
I was heartless and cold, wherever I go, I shot down every young girl I found.
chorus :
Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit; I used to be a heartbreak kid.
Then I met you and the next thing I knew there I was.
Oh shot full of love.
Well who would have thought someone like you,
Could take a desperado like me…”
Moving on to another favourite band of mine, Smokie. Similar to Air Supply, most of their songs are about love and separation. The song I would select from their collection right now is definitely “Needles and pins”.
“I saw her today, I saw her face, it was a face I loved.
And I knew, I had to run away, and get down on my knees a pray.
That they'd go away, but still it begins
Needles and pins,
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide.
I thought I was smart, I stole her heart,
Didn’t think I’d do, but now I see,
She’s worse to him than me.

The wrong songs to listen to right now are songs like Firehouse’s “Love of a Lifetime”, The Law’s “Miss you in a Heartbeat”, Warrant’s “Heaven”, Van Halen’s “Can’t stop loving you”, Journey’s “Faithfully”, Reo Speedwagon’s “I can’t fight this feeling anymore”, White Lion’s “Till death do us apart” and Saigon Kick’s “I love you”. The rock songs of that era that best suit me are songs like Damn Yankees’ “High enough” -
“I don’t wanna hear about it anymore,
It’s a shame I gotta live without you anymore.
There’s a fire in my heart, a pounding in my brain, its driving me crazy…
We don’t need to talk about it anymore;
Yesterday’s just a memory when we closed the door
:
Don’t say goodnight, say you’re gonna stay forever, all the way…
Can you take me high enough; don’t fly me over, yesterday…
Can you take me high enough, it’s never over, yesterday’s just a memory…
I don’t wanna live without you anymore,
Can’t you see I’m a misery, and you know for sure.
I would live and die for you, and I know just what to do,
When you call me baby…
Don’t say goodbye, say you’re gonna stay forever…”
And ofcourse there is Cinderella. For bands of that era, I think they stand above everybody else when it comes to mushy break-up songs: “Heartbreak Station”, “Coming home”, “Don’t know what you got (till it’s gone)”, “Nobody’s fool”, “Somebody save me” and the list goes on. Incase you ever go through such a phase as this, I do recommend you listen to Cinderella.
Heartbreak Station:
“Waiting at the Station, tears filling up my eyes,
Sometimes the pain we hide, runs like a fire inside.
Look out my window, sometimes its hard to see,
The things you want in your life come and go so easily
She took the last train, out of my heart.
She took the last train, now I think I’ll make a brand new start
She took the last train, out of my heart.”
Madonna need no special mention. Every song from her album “Something to remember” is about separation and heartbreaks. “Take a bow”, “This used to be my playground”, “I’ll remember”, “You’ll see”, “Love don’t live here anymore”, “Forbidden love”, “One more chance” etc etc.
What I really love about the above-mentioned songs is that there are parts of the lyrics that I can really associate myself with, as if it’s exactly about what I am going through right now. Other such songs that my speakers seem to be automatically churning out are:
White Lion - Broken heart
Damn Yankees - Where u going now & Silence is broken
White Snake - Here I go again
Ozzy Osbourne - Changes, See you on the other side, So tired & Goodbye to romance
Judas Priest - You got another thing coming
Pearl Jam - Last kiss
Winger - Headed for a heartbreak

Nazareth - Love hurts
Motley Crue - Driftaway
Firehouse - No one at all
Kansas - Dust in the wind
Soul Asylum - Runaway train & Promises broken

No matter what mood you are in, there will always be a song that best fits you. Happy. Sad. Gloomy. Cheerful. Lovelorn. Horny. It’s all there.
I guess I will end this post with my favorite Poison song: “I guess every rose has its thorn, just like every night has its dawn, just like every cowboy sing his sad sad song. Every rose has its thorn.” How true indeed. Atleast I had the honour of facing both the rose and the thorn. I pity those who had not face such a thorn in their life. People say the first cut is the deepest cut. Well, I say, if you really really love that person, then every cut is just the same. This is my second cut and it bleeds just as much as my first. The more the cut, the deeper the wound goes. Until you can’t take it anymore and you just… fade away… poof…
