... huh?
Well, this is something I thought I would never write. So, forgive me. And let me suck up my humility with as much aplomb as possible. Nevertheless, the fact remains. Nick Lachey speaks to me. There I said it. If I can admit it to myself then I can admit it to the world, or at the very least, the twisted, never-world of the Internet. It's a difficult thing to admit, but his album "What's left of me", is the musical embodiment of how I feel, how I have felt, and how I may, or may not, feel in the future regarding the death of my own marriage.
The song, "I can't hate you anymore", is especially poignant for me. Granted, if I had written the song there would probably be less harmonies and more drums and guitars, but it still doesn't change the fact that I feel for Nick in a way I never dreamed I would, and or, could. I truly know what he's going through, and has gone through. Sure he's an incredibly successful pop star, and I, well, I am not a pop star. But with lyrics like these- I chased the shadows of your name/And burned the picture in the frame/But it couldn't save me/How could we quit something we never even tried/Well you still can't tell me why- I can see that he's also human. I commend him for his openness and his honesty. There is courage there, and strength.
