You can never come back (c) 2020
...an I revisit songs that I wanted to learn to play, but I wasn't at that guitar playing skill level. Well, more truthfully, I didn't take time to learn some songs because I didn't want to face the emotions associated.
Years ago, I had the Neil Young cassette in my car tape deck playing the song "Out of the Blue Into the Black" while my friend, Ed, and I were getting breakfast from Burger King. Hours later, we would be on a bus going to the pentagon (911). We were in the US Army, the 54th Quartermaster company. Our job was to care for the dead.
I slowly practice strums going to the c chord to the e, to the a, end on the f chord as I sing the verse to the Neil Young song, "...and once you're gone you can't come." Eighteen years ago, most of us had never done our military jobs in a real life. The Pentagon clean up effort, known as 'Operation Noble Eagle.'
Many of us have ptsd from that experience, and also from the wars that followed.
I miss the hook a little bit. Damn, I can't afford to make these mistakes when I perform.
"When you're out of the blue and into the black."
Took me years to begin to have a resolve.
