You'll always walk alone ... ?(2)

... if you keep listening to pop music?

It struck me just now that my two favourite tracks
at the moment
-Just played them both from youtube-
Are both really all about l o n e l i n e s s
Coincidence?
I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
I'm gonna die in a space that don't hold my fame.
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls


...had a t-shirt on that said we're all gonna die alone
I still believe that's true oh I truly do
Tiger Lou - Oh Horatio

A line from one of my all time favourites
in the bookshelf come to mind as well
Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable?
Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?
Nick Hornby in High Fidelity

I'll leave those question un-answered
I do think Mr. Miller is on the right track -
That it has nothing to do at all with the listener but the artists
An artist is always alone - if he is an artist.
No, what the artist needs is loneliness

Henry Miller
I aint an artist - but I do need pop music
