Happily Married......In songwriting, at first it puzzled me why happily married couples loved sad break up songs. They would dance so close, and hold each other, or just hold hold each others hand. Then it occured to me, we know we are lucky. That could have happened to us just as easily. A lot better men than I have lost their spouse or had to go through divorces. Are you lucky too?
