Blogging has become semi-popular again thanks to that movie Julie and Julia that focused on blogging being therapeutic. In fact, it probably is. I already feel like this can be an awesome outlet.
I have to be better about randomizing to depressing songs. First Mad World and now Blvd. of broken dreams.
With this song, i think many people have had that feeling. I know through my darkest periods, this song rings true. A friend once told me that heartbreak, although painful, is not the worse human emotion. The worse human emotion is despair, losing faith and hope. That's what this song kind of sings to me. In a way, it is also a metaphor for all my broken relationships. Didn't we have dreams with every person we thought we were going to marry or end up together? Yet here I am still single and not too disappointed about it, but thinking... is being single the same as walking that boulevard. Of course I am alone and I'm also on a road of broken dreams right? I wonder what Billy's interpretation of walking on a blvd. of broken dreams was. They said he wrote it when he was in his son's bedroom. Despair of fatherhood?
Maybe he, like me, also wished that his shadow wasn't the only one that walked beside him. He wished that someone out there would find him.
