Contrast this with the theme so well done about broken affairs where the woman is unresponsive to the man's attempts to get back together.  In Waite's song, he wails to the woman, if only she could hear, that "I ain't missing you at all."  While he might be saying this, his actions and words (he has a "heartbreak overload" and he's "sending a telegraph" to her), overtly express his real desire to get her back. rss@dailykos.com (cka) 10cc Elvis Gotye JohnWaite longing lovesongs Player Rescued _1084352 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:07:51 +0000 Missing John Denver https://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/10/10/792060/-Missing-John-Denver Today I am stuck in Ha Noi, Viet Nam a humid, smoky city in early autumn as rice paddies surrounding the city are undergoing their end of season burn-off.  I am in Viet Nam working on the <a href="http://www.wspa.org.uk/wspaswork/bears/default.aspx">Bear Farming Program of the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA)</a>.  There are 4000 beautiful Asian moon bears and sun bears in captivity in Viet Nam, many of which are still illegally tapped for bile in the most horrible conditions you can imagine.  Although we are working hard to rescue them and get many of them into sanctuaries, it is still very sad and depressing work.  And being alone here with my partner at home in Bangkok,  I am having the Sunday blues. <a target="_blank" href="http://s132.photobucket.com/albums/q5/hephaestion_01/?action=view&current=800px-Sun_Bear_3.jpg"><img width="400" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q5/hephaestion_01/800px-Sun_Bear_3.jpg" border /></a> rss@dailykos.com (Norwegian Chef) Bears JohnDenver longing _792060 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 06:22:52 +0000
