Cannot but love this! Huge Eurythmics fan and we had them last year as well! Grateful for this wonder of a poem. Thank you Darienne for beautifully told life story.
Tali, thank you for your kind answer. I am truly sorry to hear that your dream of having children of your own did not fulfill itself, though. It sounds like something you very longed for. I truly hope you have found another fulfillment in life.
Thank you my friend. I am a very happy auntie to the children of all my cousins and friends, which at last counting made about 50 plus. Not too shabby... :) X
Blast from the past! Siren song, how many times you surround me! Love this part. Long time since Erasure has been on a playlist, they're playing as we speak. Thank you Tali!
Gorgeous! Very delicate just like a poem. Thank you for this Lennart. Love the soundtrack she did for Eternity and a day. Not sure if any of the songs are from that album.

It's all over now, baby blue
Don't let it get you down
It's alright
Think I need it too
Nothing lasts forever
New direction
Show of strength
.
The back of love
The killing moon
Lips like sugar
A promise
Rescue
All my colours
Bring on the dancing horses
Nothing lasts forever
It's alright
This really took me back Lisa - showing my age I suppose🫶🏻
Hey, us 80's kids, we were spoiled with all the good stuff. :) X
So true!!
Definitely!
Love it! You even mentioned my favourite song of this band, Bring On The Dancing Horses.
Joe Ely
Lord of the highway
Working on the highway
I keep gettin paid the same
The road goes on forever
Workin' for the man
Tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown
Honky tonkin'
Whiskey and women and money to burn
Streets of sin
Cool rockin' Loretta
Maybe she'll find me
Standin' at the big hotel
Lay a little grace on me
Treasure of love
I had my hopes up high
Suckin' a bottle of gin
Character flaw
Highways and heartaches
I'm a thousand miles from home
Time for travelin'
You can bet I'm gone
On the road again with this piece! Thank you Gordon!
The soul of Blues is within you, my friend. Gorgeous.
Cool rocking Loretta - there ya whole backstory there that’s all her🙌🏻

Sex crime
Wrap it up
The city never sleeps

Beautiful child
You hurt me
I did it just the same

Paint a rumour
Brand new day
Right by your side

I remember you
Wide eyed girl
Your time will come

Thorn in my side
I want it all
Take me to your heart

Don’t ask me why
Would I lie to you
It’s alright baby’s coming back
✨
Sweet dreams
Miracle of love
Here comes the rain again

Wow! This was beautiful. Once upon a time, when I still hoped I could have children, I planned to call my daughter Ella, after her. XX
Tali, thank you for your kind answer. I am truly sorry to hear that your dream of having children of your own did not fulfill itself, though. It sounds like something you very longed for. I truly hope you have found another fulfillment in life.
This got me emotional!
Writer Pilgrim, if it got you emotional, I am happy, because than it reached that place I hoped to reach.
Thank you my friend. I am a very happy auntie to the children of all my cousins and friends, which at last counting made about 50 plus. Not too shabby... :) X
Tali, looks like you’ve got your days filled with a lot of children’s laughter, how wonderful.
I don't get to see them daily, but quite often, we enjoy each other's company.
Would have been a beautiful name, beautifully worn💗
I found the name Ella means swan in Welsh or Gaelic.
Beautiful name for such a graceful bird
❤️
Love this Jay, evokes the spirit of the amazing Ella perfectly 🫶🏻
Thank you so much Darienne.
I wrote one for ELO, but decided to keep it for another day and made one for Erasure, who have been on my mind lately for a few reasons.
My heart... so blue.
It doesn't have to be
Senseless
Sexuality.
Am I right?
so the story goes-
always.
Precious
Treasure
Boy...
How can I say?
As mad as we are
Sometimes,
Here in my heart-
Freedom.
Reach out,
Siren song.
How many times
You surround me.
Hallowed ground,
Heart of stone-
Leave me to bleed.
Blast from the past! Siren song, how many times you surround me! Love this part. Long time since Erasure has been on a playlist, they're playing as we speak. Thank you Tali!
Ooh, glad to have you reconnect to them :) Thank you X
Yay! Erasure💖 was going to go that way then swerved to Eurythmics
Hallowed ground
Heart of stone
Let me bleed 🙌🏻🙌🏻💖
Oh wow! Curious minds think alike... :) Thanks. Going to look for your creation. Love Eurythmix.

ERIC CLAPTON (Poem)
GREYHOUND BUS,
LOOKING AT THE RAIN,
ONE WOMAN, ALWAYS ON MY MIND,
OUR LOVE IS HERE TO STAY, INSIDE OF ME,
FURTHER ON UP THE ROAD,
DANGER, EVIL, HARD TIMES,
HOLD ME LORD, GIVE ME STRENGTH,
WHEN THIS WAR IS OVER,
I WANNA BE, BACK HOME,
WHEN YOU GOT A GOOD FRIEND,
SOMEONE LIKE YOU,
EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT... 😎
Lovely! Really like how the Greyhound Bus takes centre stage and becomes a character here in this story. Thank you Chris!
