Nutshell is a great tune. When I hear it I think of my Pop and seeing dementia take him away slowly. Can’t help but think that’s how he felt.

Lost a close, childhood friend at 19 to suicide. Back to back family tragedies and the family dynamics afterward set the stage.

He was very open with me about his feelings. Spent many nights/hours just talking. Same lack of loneliness and support. Thought he was strong enough…didn’t turn out that way.

Read the story then go find the song.


Baby, we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here
I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears
And all I can do is keep on tellin' you
I want you (I want you)
I need you (I need you)
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad (don't be sad, 'cause)
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad ('cause)
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're lookin' for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coupe de Ville
Hidin' at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box
I can't lie (I can't lie)
I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not
No matter how I try
I'll never be able
To give you something, something that I just haven't got (whoa-oh)
Well, there's only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back, ooh, I know
Well, I remember how she left me on a stormy night
Ah, she kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
And she kept on tellin' me, she kept on tellin' me, she kept on tellin' me
I want you (I want you)
I need you (I need you)
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad (don't be sad, 'cause)
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
I want you (I want you)
I need you (I need you)
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad (don't be sad, 'cause)
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Maybe we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere

Ha ha , me too , I was just going to post that Joe neednt have bothered typing out all that ,
that was a hellava album, seemed so pertinent, on quite a few levels . Sometimes I remember where I was ( in life , not geometrically ) when I was listening to this .....wasn't all good .

My first Jimmy album i bought as a kid. This song hit me, still does.




Island I see you in the distance
I feel that your existence
Is not unlike my own
Island they say no man is like you
They say you stand alone
Sometimes I feel that way too
Is it the need for love?
Heart and soul accompaniment
That seems to make me different from you
Well I tried to book passage, but you have no ports
And I tried to sail in but your wind and waters
Tore my sails and broke my oars.
Island I see you in the moonlight
Silhouettes of ships in the night
Just make me long that much more
Island I see you in all of my dreams
But I'm a man with no means to reach your distant shore
When the need for love
Heart and soul accompaniment
That seems to make me different from you
I've tried to build bridges
But they all fell down
I've taken to the air on wings of silver
But always hit the ground
Well I tried to book passage, but you have no ports
And I tried to sail in but your wind and waters
Tore my sails and broke my oars.
Island I see you in the moonlight
Silhouettes of ships in the night
Just make me long that much more
