"You can never escape the Other" Freud. Other people shape our lives, from the moment we're born to the day we die.
That's why this sings to the heart. Or the live version. IMHO the best lovesong ever. EVER
"I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms"
