When I read this, I wished I had an audio sample, so that I could get a sense of the tone and the way he delivered the lyrics. (If it matches how you intended the quote to come across in the chapter, that is.) Which song is it? Pardon my curiosity…

I had thought I'd wrap the story up in this chapter originally, and only had one more quote. After I realized this was going to six full chapters, I went looking for a new quote (the one I had was totally wrong for this chapter and belongs with the next one). I looked for DAYS, and finally gave up and started looking at song lyrics and poetry, which I normally avoid.

This song is "Is Your Love in Vain" from Street Legal. Let me know what you think when you hear it.

Even on the second read, that line from Brian still makes me stop and think.

Can you say more about that? I'd love to know how!
