Well, for the character and in life, it’s about the love of the person you’re grieving for, and any time you can keep company with that fire, it is warm. I absolutely relate to that, and I don’t think you ever work through it. Grief and loss, those are things that don’t ever go away. They stay with you. | | | | British rock band, Def Leppard, circa 1985. “So let’s face facts here, if alcoholism, car crashes and cancer couldn’t kill us, the Nineties had no f***ing chance!” - Joe Elliott, lead singer. I lived for "Pyromania." Perfect album.
