EDF 2085 "True Love"

Lonliness and abandonment are scary feelings no person wants to endure. Delectus Clark speaks for most humans with this powerful, heartfelt piece, especially men. At the time the song was written, marriage and relationships were considered special sacraments that were to be respected and valued. A deteriorated relationship was looked down upon; reputations around the neighborhood were affected. Furthermore, negative emotions were not to be expressed, especially by men. Typically, men were looked at as the strong breadmakers and backbone of the family. Broken hearts were not to be expressed. Little boys were raised to hide emotions, crying was not an option. Dee Clark acted courageously by openly portraying his hurt from his broken relationship, even though he could only express "raindrops falling from his eyes."
