Feeling Terrible

"I didn't want to distract myself. I knew I had to sit and just feel terrible and just feel terrible and just feel terrible. And I knew I had to do that. And I think it's been valuable to just sit and feel terrible."
Merridy O'Donnell tells Four Corners what she did to deal with her 17 year old son, Campbell's suicide.

Sometimes I Stare In Space

Heatwave was written by Motown's superhit songwriting team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Edward Holland Jr. It was originally recorded by The Supremes but was a huge hit for Martha & The Vandellas. I much prefer The Supremes' version.

No matter how many times I listen to it, this song stirs me incredibly, especially the, "Sometimes I stare in space, tears all over my face," bit.

Yes, this song is perfect. Almost better than The Beach Boys' God Only Knows.

Heatwave

Whenever I’m with him

Something inside
starts to burnin’
And I’m filled with desire
Could it be a devil in me
Or is this the way love’s supposed to be?

It’s like a heat wave

Burnin’ in my heart
I can’t keep from cryin’
It’s tearin’ me apart

Whenever he calls my name

Soft, low, sweet and plain
I feel, right there I feel that burnin’ flame
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love’s supposed to be?

It’s like a heat wave
Burnin’ in my heart

I can’t keep from cryin’
It’s tearin’ me apart

Sometimes I stare in space

Tears all over my face
I can’t explain it
Don’t understand it
I ain’t never felt like this before
Now this funny feelin’ has me amazed
I don’t know what to do
My head’s in a haze

It’s like a heat wave

I feel it Burnin’,
right here in my heart
It’s like a heat wave
