Cry Me a River

Over the past week, I have woken up twice, with a song in my head.  That song is "Cry me a River" by Julie London, as on the video below.  I thought to myself I really don't know why I've been thinking about that song (or perhaps I astral travelled to somewhere and sometime where and when it was being sung), because the song was so clear when I awoke.

I can vaguely recall it from my younger days, as a song that I listened to a few times and liked, but did not particularly remember.   Maybe, at some time I watched the movie "The Girl can't Help it" (1956) in which Julie sings this song, but I don't remember having done so.  Anyhow, I pasted below the lyrics to the song, and I've been thinking what does this song means to me?  Well, I think it is a beautiful song sung by a beautiful person with a gorgeous voice.  The words make me think about releasing emotions, as if they are words between my different Selves, if that makes sense.  It's like forgiving myself for perceived wrongs, and the strength of that feeling is very strong, as though each one of us has or is going to "cry a river", i.e. cry alot.  Crying is, to me, about releasing pent-up feelings of sadness, loneliness and frustration.  Although I hardly ever cry, and I used to chant "Sticks and Stones can break my bones, but Words cannot hurt me" when I was a macho teenager / child, I can remember as a young adult, having left home, and moved forward in the world, on occasion crying rivers! 

It is extraordinary how the song, to me, is an acknowledgment of the girl I was in the past, with walls of defence up, surviving by blocking of my emotions, and trying never to cry.  Now she is being visited by the girl who did cry, who is saying in effect "Come on, it's time for you to release now."  Wow.  At first, I thought, I hope hearing this song doesn't mean that something will happen soon, which will make me cry.  I certainly don't want that, then I knew it was more symbolic than that.  It also brings me happiness now, seeing and listening to Julie singing this beautiful song, perhaps it is reminding me of the "good old days" in which one could just sit around, listening and enjoying such beautiful songs.  I am now looking at Julie's other songs on You Tube, and enjoying those too.   Thank you to those on Light Workers who have been following my spiritual journey.  Love to all, Star Wise.

Now you say you're lonely,
You cried the whole night through.
Well you can cry me a river,
Cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.

Now you say you're sorry,
For being so untrue.
Well you can cry me a river,
Cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.

You drove me, nearly drove me,
Out of my head;
While you never shed a tear.

Remember, I remember,
All that you said;
Told me love was too plebian,
Told me you were through with me-

And Now you say you love me,
Well, just to prove you do,
Come on and cry me a river,
Cry me a river,

I cried a river over you x4
