The long endless summers of the sixties were times of loneliness, tears and frustrations in a young girls life. Broken dreams, broken family, shattered what happiness she had hoped for.
Why was everyone so blind? Couldn't they see she was hurting? I guess because she was invisible, she felt suddenly all alone.
But music pulled her into a life of escape from a careless world. It gave her dreams of promise where there was none. Hope for love, independence, strength. Even as "One" from Three Dog Night played in the background on the juke box she felt empowered for better things.
Music became the only thing in her life that was a constant, it was dependable, it feels as she herself feels.
Even though time now has passed, a song can take her back to a time when all those emotions become real again.
But she is not that girl anymore. That was long ago. She has learned from those mistakes that were not of her own choosing, she counts only on herself...has shrugged off the past...Or has she....
