This Song…
“HERE’S TO THE NIGHT“
by EVE 6
…Gained A Whole New Level Of Relevance With Me During The Latter Portion Of 2000, And Well Into 2001.
To ME, It Was An Anthem For The Always Coming And Always Going Military Person.
I’d Venture To Say Most Of Y’all Have Had A Friend Or Relative In The Armed Forces.
And, Because I Ventured There, I’m Also Venturing Y’all Understand The Process Of Taking “Shore Leave” Or “Liberty” As We Called It.
It’s Horrid.
You Come Home For A Couple Days…
…And Then You’re Gone For Months And Months.
You Come Home Again For Maybe A Week Or So…
…And Then Your Ass Is Out The Door For The Next Year.
For Those Of You Whom Have Never Had To Deal With This Situation, Trust Me, I Envy You.
Going Home On “Shore Leave” Was Almost Always The Best Part Of My Year.
Going Back To Wherever I Was Stationed At The Time Was Always The Biggest Downer.
I May Have Loved My Job In The Navy…
…But There Was Nothing I Hated More So Than Having To Up And Leave My Family And Friends.
I Never Got Used To Saying Goodbye.
Never.
But, You Suck-It-Up AND You Deal-With-It.
Period.
You Didn’t Have Any Other Options.
That’s Why I Was Drawn To This Song.
I Heard It.
I Listened To It Over And Over.
I Fell In Love With It.
It Was Just So Damned Relevant.
It Fit My Life Situation Perfectly, At That Time.
To This Day, I Have A Very Tender Place In My Heart For This Jam.
It Reminds Me Of An Exceptionally Crazy-Hard Period In My Life.
It Reminds Me Of BOTH The Good AND The Bad Of Said Crazy-Hard Period.
This Song Has Become Quite The Staple In My Life’s Journey.
That’s A Good Thing, Right?!
RIGHT!!!
😀 😀
Please Do Try To Enjoy Your Day, My Peeps.
I Shall Endeavor To Do The Same.
I Wish Us ALL Luck.

I Miss You, Also. And When Is Life Ever Good For Me? I Continue To Function, Though. So I Guess I Shouldn’t Bitch About It. 😉

When I was growing up Bradley we never stayed anywhere long enough for me to feel sad about leaving or staying. It never seemed to matter to me one way or the other. I think you value longevity in one place more, or at least I do, now that I have gotten older, 🙂 L8TR
