PATRICK SWAYZE. It’s still “UNCHAINED MELODY” after all these YEARS. It’s still LOVING WITHOUT REGRETS.

I AM COOL

, you know?

It’s 3 am pre-dawn as I am writing this

The air is serene,

and the music is playing softly in the background.

No, the owl is not in sight,

Neither is there any hooting,

So there’s no sign of haunting.

.The Righteous Brothers on CD are performing their long time hit UNCHAINED MELODY.

Soulful, insightful, stirring …

I am saddened by the fact that PATRICK SWAYZE has passed on recently  ….

“LIFE IS FRAGILE ” -

so said SWAYZE during a 1990 interview with PEOPLE magazine.

Yeah, nobody can foretell the future.

I realize long ago that  time and tide wait for no man,

and one day it’ll be everyone’s turn to bid this world farewell as well.

Goodbye to all those who have loved and stood by us through life’s drudgeries ….

We might be up there on the highest cloud one moment,

then down to the deepest depth the next,

What would we ever do without memories?

LIFE WOULD  HAVE NO COLORS .

We need the rainbow hues,

We need the sunshine,

We need the rain,

We need the darkest storm,

Or LIFE WOULD BE JUST ONE BLANK PAGE.

IF ever there’s any hit song that can stay atop the HIT chart of our minds

after more than one decade and still retains its latent fervor

then it must be “UNCHAINED MELODY” from the stupendous film GHOST.

The lyrics are so powerful, so potent ….

They surge deep into your heart and mind,

and beckon you to rush home to hug and kiss your loved ones.

There are simply too many nostalgic scenes in this movie that evoke a sense of longing in us

and these will stay in our memories for a life time,

Thank you,  PATRICK SWAYZE and DEMI MOORE for putting us onto that platform,

For transporting us to a world of surrealistic paradise of love each time that song plays ….

“LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR THE PRECIOUS MOMENTS.”

Because we really do not know when we would depart from this earth.

That was what the late PATRICK SWAYZE told the PEOPLE magazine in 1990,

Right after the colossal success of his movie GHOST.

That’s sound advice,

That’s what we should all do.

If we do not communicate well with the people we love,

If we just ignore their existence,

If we take them for granted,

We are setting ourselves up for incredible pain when we lose them.

Farewell,

PATRICK SWAYZE,

You may be gone but never forgotten,

Adieu, buddy, adieu!
