Thread Name: Why We Liked Pop Anyway
Subject: RE: Why We Liked Pop Anyway
Meant to post yesterday--From "It Could Be We're In Love"--

Didn't it seem right, to walk along the sand last night,
And to gaze out at the night through your window.

Ann Wood was my first love, and the first one to break my heart.

Now they'd say, "She didn't break your heart. You're making it all about you. She made a choice that you don't want to acknowledge. You had a idealized view of your relationship that was based in your preconceived ideas about what a relationship should be. She couldn't be the person that she needed to be, and you couldn't see it. Furthermore, because you persist in that view, you are not able to move on.

Is it any wonder that they don't write songs like these any more?
