Thanks iTunes!

Hello,

I woke up this morning about 3:00. I then tossed and turned and had a fitful sleep until finally getting up for good at 6:40. I was having trouble sleeping because I keep on thinking about the loss of my wife and family. I've lost so much.

I listen to most of my music on iTunes, and it lets me organize songs into various playlists. I have a playlist setup for Sundays. Mellow, wholesome songs make up that playlist typically. 99% of the time I listen to iTunes on random. Guess the first two songs iTunes played for me randomly? Two of the saddest songs about love of all-time. That just added to my depressed feeling. Thankfully I'm going to church in awhile to get some counter balance.

Here's the two songs and their painful lyrics. The first is an all-time classic. Despite it's beautiful melody, its one of the most painful songs ever. The Platters "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes".



They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I can not hide
Oh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes



Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin for the phone cause I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothin at all
It's a quarter after one I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now
Ooo, baby, I need you now

For those people who are really struggling right now and are looking for something to help them feel better, read 2nd Nephi 9. It's all about the Atonement and will help you feel a lot better.
