Righteous Brothers - Dream on [new CD sound]

DREAM ON (Righteous brothers) and my rose coloured glasses

This isn't diet related either but I am sure anybody reading this will identify with songs from back in the day that just "stick with you" I fell in love with this song in 1974, before I went into the hospital with bipolar mental illness. Back then they called it "Manic-Depressive" and I went through great lengths to hide the fact that I was ever in the mental hospital. Back then people were not as accepting of disabilities, especially mental ones. You were labeled "crazy" and that was that.

ANYWAY, I was living in a comfortable dreamworld of my own making. This song had a section which went

"You're a princess
Chains around you
I'm the hero who just found you"

I don't know how I negotiated my way through the real world, going to work and doing everything I had to do. It's to my benefit that I can remember and actually feel some of what I felt from way back then.

Bridge Over Troubled Water is a song that means as much to me today as it did when I was 14. Anyway, that's my thoughts for today.

Make what you can out of it
