As I got into my truck this afternoon to come home, this song by the Little River Band came on. The first two lines really struck me and that is precisely what I am looking for right now. Not alone like a hermit, just not a relationship. There are a lot of reasons from many sources, the culmination of which is I need a "Cool Change". My mom used to listen the Little River Band a lot when I was younger, and the song is very familiar to me, it just has a different meaning for me at this point.
If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear waters
There's lots of those friendly people
Showin me ways to go
And I never want to lose your inspiration
Time for
a cool change...
I know that it's time
for a cool change
Now that my life
is so pre-arranged
I know that it's time
for a cool change
Well I was born in the sign of water
And it's there that I feel my best
The albatross and the whales
they are my brothers
It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Starin' at the full moon
like a lover
Time for
a cool change...
I know that it's time
for a cool change
Now that my life
is so prearranged
I know that it's time
for a cool change
Well I've never been romantic
And sometimes I don't care
I know it may sound selfish
But let me breathe the air
If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear waters
It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon like a lover
Time for
a cool change...
I know that it's time
for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time
for a cool change

There are times in my life when that song is my theme. I not only love the sound, but the words touch a chord and fit whatever I am going through at that moment.
