The first thing that hit me was that you are so young to have this insight. In my seventies, the list of ghosts is long. You sort through them, tossing aside the most miserable ones because why? Why spend a nickel of time reliving that when you can be reliving a banana split with your grandma in an elegant department store snack bar? I now understand why my mother didn't remember the most traumatic times of my childhood. I felt unvalidated when she denied them, angry. But why should she travel back there, to a time that was terrible for her too? What a job, sorting ghosts. i love the ones that stay nearby and whisper in my ear.
I love the song so much (oh my heart!) so it’s really wonderful to see how it inspired two writers to explore it in different ways, given my own thoughts are wrapped around a single human every time I play it on repeat to feel that sweet mourning….
I get what you are saying and see the deeper meaning, but perhaps my mind is twisted because I like going back to wear I used to live to see how things have changed. Maybe its because my ghosts aren't that scary.
This! On my first sip of coffee, and taking it in slowly. I have never pondered with this lens. It is brilliant. Absolutely I hope I haunt many houses! I have my list too. Such a beautiful piece my bonus daughter. Big Love. 💕💜💕
