The radio played "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc. That song is AWESOME.
But I had just left the psychiatrist's office, where I had been for 90 minutes waiting and then sitting in my appointment with the doctor. Who apparently is very in demand, so, if you are looking for a new career you'll probably make a great go of it as a psychiatrist today. Maybe push your kids in that direction. Because a 17 year old really sees herself as a psychiatrist.
"I'm Not in Love" was feeling kind of trippy, 1970s hazy, as I drove through the decrepit urban center city. So many layers of sound in that song. And it's kind of gut wrenching.
Then I realized I'm not in love with anything now. I know that's not what the song is about.
I hope it's just a silly phase I'm going through. I'm all business. WERK. Let's get better. Most important and sometimes the most scary, is, let's stay better. I'm accustomed now to what-goes-up-must-come-down and I can't imagine what it feels like to sustain the "up." But, let's do this shit.
Here's the video that the DJ recommended we all watch, the making of 10cc's "I'm Not in Love." Now I'll never listen to that song the same way again.
