Cover art for C'est La Vie lyrics by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

For me, this song has a double meaning. It describes how I felt when my marriage hit the rocks & when I separated from my wife. Through all of this I wondered if she had any feeling left for me (Do the ashes of desire for you remain?) It seemed that nothing I did made the slightest difference. (Is there no song I can play for you?) It also makes me think of a girl I had a huge crush on many years ago. (She eventually married someone else.) It also reminds me of my latest crush. I met her online. Because we live rather far apart, the chances of meeting in person are slim. I think she may have similar feelings for me, but she hasn't said so. (Do you love/ And then how am I to know/ If you don't let your love show for me.) When she faced some serious personal problems awhile ago, I realized how strongly I felt & I wanted to come to her rescue. (Took a storm before my love flowed for you...) I know that there are so many things working against us & that it might never work out any way. (Like a song/ Out of tune and out of time...) Sorry for running on so much. This is such a beautiful & haunting song & it really speaks to me on a personal level.

Who knows, who cares for me C'est la vie
