I had a friend request a topic for this week's installment. I love that! I hope that more people reach out and send me their suggestions. I can always use a new idea. My brain is small and overworked as it is. I lost a lot of it in the 1990's and what I have left is burned in the wee-hours of baby feeding. I anticipate a later life of drooling and blank stares. And I'm talking about next year!
At any rate, my friend finds herself in a situation that I've seen in a lot of my friends over the years. A series of bad relationship decisions by smart people, who should know better, leading to questioning whether or not they could ever find that "one true love". I see it happen all the time. It takes a variety of forms, but the one that I am focusing on is the person who only wants what is unavailable or that does not want them. I guess they're the same thing, cause in the end.....never gonn get it...never gonna get...never get it!
As an observer, it's easy to see that this type of behavior is a way to avoid confronting the internal issues of why they're not happy. It's easy to blame a doomed relationship. "They lived out of state". "They wouldn't divorce their wife". "They just got out of a serious relationship". "They are focused on their work".....there are a bunch more excuses. They all add up to "unavailable". Most of the time, if not all of the time, this information was known from the onset. Deep down inside, it was a way out. A way to run away without holding yourself accountable.
Anyway, I wrote like 2 songs about that type of thing, but wasn't really happy about the finished product.....so I didn't end up writing about that at all. But, it did lead me to the a pretty cool little song about how sometimes the best relationships, and usually the most successful relationships, are between two people who are "opposite" in many ways, but find that together, they complete each other.
This week's song is called "Perfect Reason". I've also added a bonus track called "With Me". It's what I like to call a "little diddy".
Make your way over to Jon Roniger – Songs in the Raw – MySpace Page to listen to "Perfect Reason" and "With Me".
You can find more rock and roll and tracks from my last three CDs at Jon Roniger MySpace Page and Jon Roniger’ other MySpace Page.
Don't be scared of my SNOCAP Store. It's easy to use and full of great tunes. I created an album called "Songs in the Raw Vol 1". It contains 14 tracks from the first three months of my Songs in the Raw entries. You can buy it for $7.99. That's one hell of a deal.
Here's the store;
