No, Lee - you haven't upset me at all! I was able to listen to both songs, and I would have stopped if I didn't feel I could. It's my responsibility to take care of myself, regarding music. I am honoured that you are sharing your songs, how you feel.
Music has a big impact on me, so I just needed to ...process, that's not quite the right word...appreciate...the first song before I listened to the second. Sorry for not explaining that. 😞

@NatureLover ok I'm still sorry.
Music really affects me and moves me too.
I will be careful what songs I link.

You've done nothing wrong, my sweet friend. You don't need to be careful, as you won't know what will affect me...only a warning about any SI songs would be good, and I know you will do that.
I really appreciate you opening me up to new music.
And I'm honoured you share your music with me. I know it has a big impact on you.

@NatureLovermusic has such an intense affect on me, it always has. And yes I would warn you.
I'm still not sure what sing see describes how I'm feeling.
I'm lost for a song....

@NatureLoveri just thought of a song I could share that impacted me greatly .
One of our residents here shared it with me, said it reminds him of when he and his ex wife broke up.
I listen to it at least 10 times a day. Thats how much it impacted me.

Yes, I can see that 
I thought the 2 songs you posted earlier reflected how you're feeling tonight?

Wow, that Dolly Parton song has had a great impact on you? Why is it so special for you? (No need to answer if it's private)
