LOVE



"Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are
The greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight my dear."

Right now, I feel I know what Arthur Lee was getting at. People, friends, when you seek out the right ones, are inspiring ("the greatest fun"), connecting you - as they do - with some kind of life force, giving you feelings of warmth and hope for the whole world ("almost everyone"). And yet, here I am writing this at five minutes past midnight, all alone ("Alone Again Or"), and not minding that fact at all. Arthur Lee, bless you, RIP.
