Under Control
There are certain songs that are almost too beautiful to bear. You want to listen, but you don't know if your heart can take it...you're going through a bad break-up, you've gotten caught up in an intense bout of unexpected and rare loneliness or the song is just too damn sad!

"After the Fall" by Cary Brothers is such a one.  Some of my most favorite songs are the ones that make me yearn for something that is inexplicable, yet somehow still has to do with love. There's this great quote by Australian artist and writer Norman Lindsay that goes: "the best love affairs are the ones we never had."

Music, especially emotional music, wrecks havoc with my imagination and with all those possibilities, both missed and still out there waiting...
