song 119 : Absence Breaks the Heart Grown Fonder (Tacoma Ballet)
The heroine face to face with one reason she won’t just leave, one reason she contradicts herself constantly. She thinks she’s still in love, that love still has a chance.
This song took on scary implications it didn’t have when mixing ended on September 10, 2001. Now I can’t hear it without thinking of those poor people making and receiving last phone calls as the towers neared collapse. Those people who jumped out of their windows, a few made messages out of their final flights.
I had been singing about relationships I had known and that I noticed around me, but now the song for me has the glint of panic, I always feel worried now on some subliminal level that my loved ones won’t be back when we’re separated.
Going through 9/11 when you already have post traumatic stress reinforced by more than one incident, well, it’s not hard to understand the chill that has descended across America. The return to churches. The guilty severity and gulping greed.
