Paul Rodgers
Now

Everything is destined to change. And yet, we still deceive ourselves into thinking it's not so... Friendships change, loves change, ideals change, feelings change, perspectives change, life changes... And one day you stop to reflect and discover that everything you once worried or got excited about no longer matters...
These are precisely the moments when you need a reference point, a guiding light, something stable, like a trusted friend you're utterly certain about. Something that will never abandon you, no matter where you are or whatever you do.

And so did I, stopping to reflect one terribly desperate evening, I discovered my point of reference, my support in the worst moments, the only source of consolation when you feel that everything is moving contrary to how it should be...

He is always there... between fatigue and apathy, with energy and intensity "Soul Of Love" and "Overloaded", providing drive and the desire to act...

He is always there... between bitterness and tears, warming my heart and sweetening my life, as I savor the sweet notes of "All I Want Is You"...

He is always there... when no one understands me, when I feel I belong to no one and nothing, when I think no one will ever be able to reason with me... "Saving Grace", my belonging, thank you for the understanding!

He is always there... in the moments when you think of all the things that have been and will never be again, or what might have been if only you had acted differently... chasing shadows... "Chasing Shadows"...

He is always there... on those sad rainy evenings, when you would like to go out, yet you are forced to stay home, alone, and perhaps, as luck would have it, the power goes out too... "Nights Like These"... But how do you understand me?!?

But he is also there in moments of happiness, when the world smiles, when I get excited about the little things every day, but especially when I thank life, realizing how lucky I was when it gave me a happy and healthy existence... so "Hold Back The Storm", and smile...

10.06 - The end of a love, the beginning of another era... Thank you, Paul, for being the background soundtrack to my life...
