This song makes me sad, and not because of my broken marriage, but because even pop music was a million times better than most of the modern garbage they call music. This one is a great divorce song, very emotional. Older music was of a much better quality on all levels even as recent as 25-35 years ago. The older songs/music were much more complex, more intricate with a lot of depth to it. By the way Agnetha sort of reminds me of my mother.

Sadly most of us, myself including only know our family bloodline as far as grandparents or maybe great-grandparents, and that usually where it stops. I know that I must do better than that. Like many others, I tend to talk a lot about my ancestry, and often I talk as if I represent my ancestors, and I don’t know if it’s right to do this, without first becoming familiar with your immediate family ancestry.

I’m learning as I go, and just now learned that the Slavic god Jarilo, or Yarilo, a son of god Perun, and god of springtime, fertility, vegetation, male youthfulness, and sexuality was/is celebrated during springtime, some say April 22, but there are other dates mentioned by other sources. It makes perfect sense why this God would be celebrated during spring time, since spring time is the time when life is a reborn, the time of mating

Yarilo by Andrey Shishkin

The name of this Slavic god Yarilo or Jarilo sounds like the word ‘virility’ which is pretty much what he represents
