"I was thinking about the song "FREE OF YOU" just yesterday, and hoping the lyrics were as clear to my listeners as they are to me...the song is about that awful time we have all had when we love someone, but don't want to be bound by that anymore, because it has become too painful. "I can't take what you've been givin', this is no way to be livin', oh, what happened to the beauty of our love? Everyday I see it dying, and half of me is trying to save it, and half, to let it go." Have you been there?" Sounds like "Goodbye to Love" is lurking somewhere in there...

Hi Palma,
Oh gosh yes I have been there (relating to your song).
I live up near Canton, New York which is north of Watertown, New York. I figure you may have heard of Watertown more so. If not, best thing to say is that I live about 2 1/2 hours north of Syracuse, NY. About 20 minutes from me is the Saint Lawrence river which is so beautiful to be around. I go there often in the summer and sit by the river. There is just something great about being by the water to me. I'm able to think good thoughts while listening to the water and the boats, etc. I love it!
Alexandria Bay (popular resort spot) is about an hour away and I usually go there every summer and take the boat tour. Have you ever been there? On one of the islands sits a huge castle named "Boldt Castle". There is an interesting story that goes with it if you'd like to hear. Let me know. Anyone else that would like to hear too, let me know.
Take care,
Beaner (Mary Ann)

MaryAnn, DO tell us about Boldt Castle! Sounds like you are VERY FAR upstate, but thru the internet, you are in my BASEMENT, so NO PROBLEM. Tell us about yourself, give us some interesting tidbits. Those of you with mysterious internet "pen names" make it hard for us to picture you! But I guess that's the point, right? Look forward to your postings! Palma

A warm thank you to my dear online friends, PS11932 (Mr. Illinois!), Smoothie2, Beth and Rick;forgive me for not responding in a timely way to your messages of condolence. I did read them and benefit from them so much a few days ago, when attending Joe's services. PS11932, your inspirational words were so meaningful, and the fact that you all stand by in a quiet way for me gave me strength. I sang at Joe's funeral, the song from the BROKEN CUP, "Don't Be Afraid" and hoped I would not be too emotionally overwhelmed to not be able to get thru it. But I was amazed to be able to sing it clearly, without choking up, so that the others who were mourning Joe could hear the words of hope: the HE is always with us, even when we don't see HIM. I guess that could mean Joe as well as God, but it was written to mean God. Smoothie, I read with alot of interest your thumbnail sketch of your former relationship and how the "fantasy" played into it. My comment is, I think without the "fantasy" component, most of us wouldn't participate in relationships at ALL! We should, as they used to say on Saturday Night Live, "discuss amongst yourselves!" What a story we all could tell. Beth, you send the most beautiful on line sympathy cards and other greetings as well. If you've never gotten one from Beth, everyone, you don't know just how SWEET this girl really is. As sweet as her Bunny, Hope! Rick, all this is not possible except for you and your continuing efforts and time on behalf of this website and all of us. Still waiting for that music from your archives. Quiet but deep, eh? My personal thanks to you again, as always. Love, To All, Palma ???Well, you are a joy to know Palma, and I'm glad we here on the site can be of some comfort. The words to your songs that you quote are so realistic, and it would be a joy to hear you sing. I'm sure Joe's family and friends were honored by your songs. I just don't think I (even if I could carry a tune) would ever be able to say anything much less sing at someone's funeral. If I was very close at all to him or her. I'm glad you made it ok singing for Joe. ...As far as my comments about Love Me For What I am... (pg. 7 of this thread) and that relationship. True, us girls and guys too would clog up the boards with tales of love gone wrong. or right then wrong. Yes, it's natural I think to fantasize to some degree, but it's easy to over do it! ......smoothie

Call me a SCORPIO, but I love to overdo FANTASY. There. Fly with THAT one...Real life can be so ordinary! That's why I can make up all those situations in the songs I write. Okay, Smoothie, suggest a LOVE TOPIC, and a situation, and a conflict. Let's see if we can write a song online. The situation doesn't have to come from your own life, just "borrow" from some people you know....any takers?
