I am at loose ends it seems, a very uncomfortable feeling. A which way do I turn feeling. A stare into the abyss feeling.

These are two of my all-time favorite songs, part of my soundtrack for staring into the abyss.

Isolation, by Joy Division



How Soon Is Now? by The Smiths

  2. Thanks for sharing those two songs with us Alice. I had heard How Soon Is Now but never realised it was by The Smiths.

  3. Jan: both, probably.

    Petty: I adored How Soon Is Now from the moment I heard it. It was unlike anything else on the radio. Actually, I never heard it on the radio, just on MTV.
