Another Great One

 This one is similar to one I posted a while back (see here), as a part of my ever shades post (see here) or is it evershade? Maybe evershades? Regardless, I'm not sure why I didn't post this then. Maybe times have changed, maybe I was just listening at the right moment this time. 

I don't normally listen to Adele or country music. Too many memories and thoughts that I'd rather avoid. My children don't hold to the same guideance however so the other day someone asked Alexa to play Hello by Adele, and it was this that hit me.

Hello from the other side

I must've called a thousand times

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done

But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside

At least I can say that I've tried

To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart

But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

It was that line " . . . at least I can say that I've tried . . . " and " . . . clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore . . . " that socked me in the gut. 

But it's good to be socked in the gut every now and then isn't it?

Evershade, evershades, ever shade, ever shades, shades of Betsy
