This morning's Musical DLG ™ (Download from God ™ ) called, Games People Play by The Alan Parsons Project was really interesting to say the least because I just couldn't figure out exactly what I was supposed to write about with regard to this particular song. It didn't really come to me until this evening. The song has nothing to do with how I feel about my Life but then again, it does in a roundabout way.
As the day rolled on, 'The Scorpion King' and I found ourselves in an interesting conversation about relationships. I shared with him that I really don't have a beef with him about anything. I don't have anything left unsaid or some underlying issue that I might rehash at a later date. He also shared that he doesn't have a beef with me either. When we have an issue, we hammer it out right then and there. We aren't interested in being angry for three weeks, three days or even three hours. The way we see it -- he's 50, I'm 49, neither of which we consider to be old, but we do believe we are too dang old to be unhappy, angry, sad or uneasy about a relationship ever again. Quietly fading away is something we just won't do. Games people play can be left to anyone who wants to play them except us.
Certainly, there are no perfect relationships and while there are a few stupid little things that both of us would prefer the other not do, we realize that either he or me will inevitably leave the planet before the other. It's going to happen. That is a certainty. And when it does, one of us is going to wish we never complained about that stupid little thing. In fact, we'll probably wish we could experience that stupid little thing just one more time. So when I'm doing laundry and see yet again that 'The Scorpion King' has taken off his socks inside out and left them in a ball, it's really not a big deal. A sock is not going to take us down or ruin how I feel about him. While there are no perfect relationships, we are perfect for each other and the only games we'll be playing are the ones that make us laugh.
GAMES PEOPLE PLAY by The Alan Parsons Project (Scroll past the video for the lyrics)
Where do we go from here
Now that all other children are growin' up
And how do we spend our lives
If there's no-one to lend us a hand
I don't wanna live here no more
I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life
Quietly fading away
Games people play, you take it or you leave it
Things that they say, honor brite
If I promise you the moon and the stars, would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
Where do we go from here
Now that all of the children have grown up
And how do we spend our time
Knowin' nobody gives us a damn
I don't wanna live here no more
I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life
Quietly fading away
Games people play, you take it or leave it
Things that they say, just don't make it right
If I'm tellin' you the truth right now, do you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
Games people play, you take it or you leave it
Things that they say, honor brite
If I promise you the moon and the stars, would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
Games people play, you take it or leave it
Things that they say, just don't make it right
If I'm tellin' you the truth right now, do you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
