This is my curse
KE frontman Howard Jones sings here about a love that has left him, and his curse is that he cannot be with her. The video, directed by Lex Halaby, plays out a rather mystical storyline, but the band's guitarist, Adam Dutkiewicz, has a much more grounded interpretation of the song. "That's just about chicks," he said in his Songfacts interview. "A lot of Howard's songs are about girls. It's always a topic guys can relate to."

- David from Texas This is a great website! I always thought there was a website like this but I barely looked for it today. Nice. This is a great underrated song. "There is love, burning to find you" makes me think of me and my wife and how while my love for her isn't always there but I stay with her and let the possibility of true love burn to find her again one day.

Despair sets in, and the world becomes a dark and desolate place. Happiness feels like a distant memory, and the future seems bleak and uncertain. It is in these moments that we must find the strength to rise above, to persevere, and to redefine our curse. While we may not have control over the circumstances that have brought us to this point, we have the power to choose how we respond. We can allow our curse to define us, to consume us, or we can use it as a catalyst for growth and transformation. It is through adversity that we discover our innermost strength and resilience.
