I had this idea in my head for a while and finally made the edit.

ABBA- SOS

[nativenewyorkerposts]

“I’ll send an SOS to the world…”  For me, the musical highlight of “Rise Up New York” was Sting’s rendition of “Message In A Bottle.”  Perhaps because of time constraints, he did not sing all of the lyrics.  One of the omitted lines is particularly insightful: “Only hope can keep me together…”  The title of the song reminds me of “Private Passage,” in Hudson River Park.  A stateroom from the ocean liner “Queen Mary” is depicted inside the huge wine bottle! Regarding an SOS, another insightful song comes to mind: “Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find/I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind…” (“S.O.S.” by ABBA) (Photo taken on February 1, 2018)

You made me feel alive, but something died I fear

ABBA- "SOS"

[s-i-n-g-u-l-a-ri-t-y]

THE brake up

Where are those happy days?

They seem so hard to find

I tried to reach for you,but you have closed your mind

Whatever happened to our love?

I wish I understood

It use to be so nice,it use to be so good

When you're gone

How can I even try to go on?

When you're gone

Though I try,how can I carry on?

You seem so far away though you are standing near

You made me feel alive,but something died I fear

I really tried to make it out

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

I've heard it all before

I don't wanna hear,I don't wanna know

Please don't say you're sorry

I've heard it all before

And I take care of myself

Please don't say 'forgive me'

I've seen it all before

And I can't take it anymore

You're not halt the man you think you are

Save your words because you've gone too far

I've listened to your lies and all your stories

Don't explain yourself cause talk is cheap

There's more important things than hearing you speak

Innocent and delicate

I'm tired of pretending

I'm done

What are you up to? Where are you? Did you eat? Goodnight.

Baby,darling,honey,I miss you

It's all useless

You're sitting on your feelings

I'm sitting on my throne

I ain't got no time for the troubles in your eyes

This time I'm only looking at me,myself and I

Now that you're alone,got you looking for a clone now

I can't fake no more smiles

That shit gon' drive me mad

I'm focused on the future

Don't care 'bout nothin' else

I'm better by myself

I don't need no one else

I would have walked through fire to kiss your lips

Still see your old apartment,like a bad trip

Wish I could forget all the places we've been

That wasn't love

That was just hope

You don't think I'm worth your time

Don't care about the person that I might be

Try to find the worst in me

But I won't follow you into the dark

When you treat me like that

It's pushing me harder

When you breakin' my back

I only get stronger

I'm over you and I don't need your lies no more

'Cause the truth is, without you, boy, I'm stronger

Don't call me up

I'm going out tonight

Feeling good now you're outta my life

Don't wanna talk about us

Gotta leave it behind

But I'm here out in the club

And I don't wanna talk

So don't call me up

I'm not your number one

If you're giving all of your money and time

I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you

Ciao adios, I'm done

I'm on my own again
