The Kitchen Table

What Song describes you?

15 years ago

Hello everyone

I just wanted to let you know that I am doing so much better. DH and I have finally begun the divorce paperwork and things are going smoothly. I feel so liberated! Which brings me to my question.....what song best describes how you feel with your relationship?

Mine is "You Don't Own Me" by Petula Clarke

For me that song tells it all!

Just You and Me by Chicago suits us well. It will be 49 years in October and he is a keeper.

How about "Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye? Anything from "Saturday Night Fever". So many more, but age is taking over................

I don't read too much meaning into the Talking Heads song, but I was aware that David Byrne had been a student at RISD, and I often thought that if I had to do it over, that's where I would have wanted to get my first degree. I sort of regretted not majoring in architecture when I was 18-22, but then I would not be who I am today if I had. A friend from my high school did go to RISD, and then he ended up living on the East Coast, and I'm sort of glad that I ended up on the West Coast. When I was getting my design degree at UT Austin in my mid to late 30s, my 3D design professor told me that she did not consider me to be a serious artist and lowered my grade from an A to a B at the end of the semester. I told her that I did not care and that whatever grade she gave me would not affect whether I would get work as a designer. She had gotten her masters at Yale and had the attitude that designers were not artists, which is a common concept in the New York art community, according to my brother. Anyway, I had a very successful career as a furniture designer. My 2D art professor at UT loved me and told me that I would be able to do whatever I wanted, and so I listened to him instead of to the 3D professor. I took architecture classes in addition to art classes for my design degree, and I did the best in those.

Knowing Me, Knowing You
No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this time we're through
(This time we're through, this time we're through
This time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Good for you Nieve. :)

Interesting choices y'all!

Since my divorce in 1973, I've always related to "I Can See Clearly Now".

On the silly side, the first song I thought of is "I Only Smoke When I Drink". LOL

Wond'ring Aloud...Our song...

Wond'ring aloud --
how we feel today.
Last night sipped the sunset --
my hands in her hair.
We are our own saviours
as we start both our hearts beating life
into each other.

Wond'ring aloud --
will the years treat us well.
As she floats in the kitchen,
I'm tasting the smell
of toast as the butter runs.
Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed
and I shake my head.
And it's only the giving
that makes you what you are.

Jethro Tull- Wondr'ing Aloud, from the album Aqualung

There are so many songs that I can relate to but there is always one song that will always bring both smiles and tears for me. It is also the song that people have always said when they hear it they think of me.
It is John Denver's "Sunshine"....it has an incredibly special place in my heart.

"If I had a day that I could give you, I'd give you a day just like today. If I had a song that I could sing for you, I'd sing a song to make you feel this way"
