closer
I watched “Closer”, the play, when I was living in the UK several years ago. I appreciated the play and understood the underlying emotional storyline.
Several years and a whole different life later, I watched “Closer”, the film. Tonight. While the storyline is the same and the dialogue pretty much identical, I am no longer the same viewer. Not only do I appreciate and understand the storyline, I now also recognise and identify with the dynamics that run through it, and I now see far more in the story than I did years ago…
Sometimes, there is no substitute for life experience.
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in (the) sky
