THE BRIDEIt all started with a country road and a ghost and ended up as an album I called “The Bride”. My friend Shaun says the songs are sung with a voice of experience; all world weary but still potent. The characters on the album go to extraordinary lengths in their search for relationship; some win, some don't.
One character is so desperate to marry that she ends up marrying the first man that comes along because she is too afraid to let him go for fear she'll never find anyone else. Ironically she has to let him go anyway when he starts gambling and doesn't stop drinking.
I wonder exactly how many young women have married for fear of losing him rather than the joy of being with him?
