I did not grow up being abused, but my father was always a distant man, who felt that as long as he provided, he did not need to show us love or spend time with his children. It has definitely had an effect on me as I am now trying to be loving and affectionate with my daughter but find it hard to because of the way I was brought up, and being a single mother makes it all so much more difficult what with the stress and all. <BR/>I felt the same way as the adult boy in the song, trying to find love in others, but have come to realize that even finding someone who truly loves you and is sincere about it is difficult. Though I don't know how his life ends up because the entire song's not completed, maybe he ends up alone, understanding that when one expects to find love from others, it usually backfires, as you must first find love within..I like this song as I feel many people, like myself, will be able to relate to it. Sorry to bore you with all the crazy rantings, just had to get this off my chest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015430822721659835.post-5785943641731643252009-02-26T07:43:00.000-08:002009-02-26T07:43:00.000-08:00We subconsciously end up projecting our views on o...We subconsciously end up projecting our views on our kids, no matter how hard we try to avoid doing so. Inevitability. We can only hope that in the process of raising them we also gave them the tools, the strength, to discard <EM>our</EM> faults, our neuroses, weaknesses, etc etc.<BR/><BR/>The vocals are ridiculously wonderful and there's a striking sense of a 'hopeful gloom' in the track, if that makes any sense, a striving for something else (better?) barely hinted at, but it's there.Randal Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728992897551848531noreply@blogger.com
