| Bonnie Raitt – All At Once Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
I believe this song is about an ugly one-sided divorce of a once beautiful marriage. The husband left the marriage and the family, but he didn’t physically leave the area. He is someone she still see’s day to day. She hears his voice, she sees his face, and then she remembers how things were; so good for so long. But he could care less anymore that she exists. She is not even a memory to him. I went thru this with my first wife of 19 years. She walked away, started a new life, and left me to do all the hard parts of raising our kids, including fixing the mess she made of them with her leaving. She shuffled her memories to where I never even existed. For me, it’s just as if she died. But she just moved to the next town over and I get to see her periodically and experience each time her pretending I’m not even there. |
