Not now, Madonna!

I was walking around our mid-refurbishment Tesco thinking about how remarkably many of my friends, colleagues and acquaintances are struggling right now; folk who've not obviously struggled with mental health before, making dark jokes about illness and industrial accidents, taking sudden time off to "catch up with things", asides about meaningless and losing interest, about not needing to save. It seems near universal.

Then Madonna's "The Power of Goodbye" comes on, through the currently somehow incomplete speaker system, echoing and muffled, like The Caretaker's /An Empty Bliss Beyond This World/.

There's nothing left to try / There's no place left to hide /.../ There's nothing left to lose / There's no more heart to bruise // There's no greater power than the power of goodbye.

Something like /Love Shack/ or /Come On Eileen/ might have helped more!
