Hi everyone.  Hope you are all well and continue to stay that way during this global health crisis we are facing.  But in addition to protecting your physical wellness, what are you doing to stay mentally healthy today?

I know we are in a serious situation, but I need a break from the gloom, doom and bullying by way of hoarding. Music has always been my refuge and watching those beautiful Italians singing to each other from their balconies reaffirmed my belief that music is the answer. So until the old normal returns, I am going to share a song I listen to that helps me escape the current state of things, if only for a few minutes each day.  And if this helps anyone else, even better.

Original MTV VJ Nina Blackwood has said that John Waite wrote today’s song about her.  I do not know if that is true, but we really should thank whomever he wrote it about because that heartache gave us one of the best broken heart songs out there.  And one of the best videos of 1984.

“And there’s a storm that’s raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
And I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone away
I ain’t missing you
No matter what my friends say.”

John Waite:  “Missing You” (1984, written by John Waite, Mark Leonard and Charles Sandford).

I do not own the rights to anything.  I am just sharing what I love and how I am coping with you.

Stay well.
