I think those that have ever found themselves to be in a dead end relationship can relate, even if your a guy, the words to the song say alot..just a matter of reading between the lines for the meaning more so.
the in crowd that holds so much appeal? I see it almost everyday on this site in the different topics...people blatantly trying to be something they are not (because if you read their posting history, it becomes evident). It is also seen alot in the posting styles that people have, where you can get a good idea of what they really are, yet see them act totally different.
You see it alot in the political threads, but in a sense, that is to be expected because that is basically all politics is, being a sheep and conforming..
What I don't get is, why is it people find the need to want to be in the "in crowd"? Why the fear of being an individual that expresses what truly is on their mind and expressing what truly is how they feel?
Are we that fearful that we might stick out of the crowd? Are we afraid of certain people disapproving of how we view things? Are we ashamed of who we are as individuals? Are we trying to impress someone with a lie? And if we are...Is it worth compromising who we really are?
Love this song...I think in a sense, everyone has felt this way about someone...whether it was their youth or a possible missed connection sometime later in life
As far as drawing a line as to what I will devulge in a relationship, the line is very thin for me. I am very open with myself to others, and even more so with someone that I like or am in a relationship with. If they feel the need to ask, I am more than willing to answer because I feel if it is important enough of them to know, then it is important enough for me to be open & forthcoming with.
And if my partner,friend or person I am interested feels I am not being forthcoming & honest or that I am holding out, there is nothing I can do to change how they feel. I am honest about myself and I'd hope they'd understand that by the time I was in the position of being in a relationship with them, that I am just that.
I know personally, for me, the things that define are the things that I lack...I think it's because in a sense, although I am confident of myself, I don't find myself worthy of certain aspects of life or I feel I genuinely don't have certain things. I won't go into detail of things in detail, because I don't want any sympathy or sorts.
But to answer your question, I measure how I define myself by measuring the things I feel I lack more so than what I can do, what I've accomplished, what I have and what I am good at.
I think that's one key thing about the music, especially from the 70's more so than any other generation is that you really had to live during that time in which the music reflected the changes in society and I think it was the first time that music really did reflect society...Sure music during the 60's did as well, but I think the 70's is when music as a whole started to speak to individuals (if that makes sense).....
Was absolutely the best....So many forms & genres that exploded from the 90s..I was born in the late 70's, and although I missed it then, I did listen to alot of it later....Then the 80's broke out with the music video and I was there and enjoyed every minute of it...And the the 90's came..So much expression in the artists of the time...Alot of times they would leave a song with vague lyrics to allow the listener to either draw their own conclusion or sit and ponder about it's meaning...which in a sense, made the listener a part of the song.
This thread is a tribute to the 90's, in my opinion, so far the greatest gen. of music.

Not true, I used to talk to a very nice woman from Tel Aviv some years back.
Music of the 90's....
