The Songs in My Head--Stand Back

Woke up this morning thinking about a weird dream I was having. At the same time, Stevie Nicks' "Stand Back" was going through my head. "Stand back, stand back...in the middle of my room, I did not hear from you..."

Here are all the lyrics 
"Stand Back"

No one looked
I walked by
Just an invitation would have been just fine
Said no to him again and again
First he took my heart then he ran

No one knows how I feel
What I say unless you read between my lines
One man walked away from me
First he took my hand
Take me home

(Stand back, stand back)
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I would cry

La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la
La, laaaa
La, la, la-la, laaaaa

Do not turn away my friend
Like a willow I can bend
No man calls my name
No man came

So I walked on down away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than you could do
But one man did not call
He asked me for my love
And that was all

(Stand back, stand back)
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I would cry

La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la
La, laaaa
La, la, la-la, la, la, laaaaa
Too few, too few
Laaaaa
La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la
La, la, laaaa
La, la, la-la, laaaaaa

So I walked, walked down the line
Away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than I could do
One man did not fall
Well, he asked me for my love
That was all

(Stand back, stand back)
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I could cry
I need a little sympathy
Well, I need a little sympathy
Well, I need to be standing in
(Stand back)
Well, I need to be standing in
(Stand back)
Well, I need to be standing in
(Stand back)
Take me home
Take me home
(Stand back)
Don't you take me home
Well, I need a little sympathy
(Stand back)...

it was just a snippet of the end of a dream. In the dream I, or other people, thought I was dead, that my heart had stopped. I wasn't upset. I was looking through a list of names on an obituary list and my name wasn't there. Something had happened and my heart had started again, and I was alive. Not scary, just weird. The whole time this Stevie Nicks song was going through my head. 

after I got up and started to look up the lyrics and video, I wondered if it all had to do with my laptop. Yesterday, my laptop gave me a dreadful white screen. My awesome husband re-seated the battery and all went back to normal. Later the white screen came back. My talented brother in law completely took apart and put back together my laptop. His diagnosis is that there is a cable leading to my laptop monitor screen that needs to be replaced. He put it back together for me. Jason went online, ebay, or wherever, and found the cable and ordered it. I guess they did open heart surgery on my laptop, came up with a diagnosis and now we just have to wait for the lifesaving cable. Until then, I have to be extra careful. My laptop monitor cannot be wiggled around or it will give me the white screen again. 

When I had seen the white screen, I get that feeling people get when they think they might lose all the data on their computers....all the pictures, all the information, passwords, documents, etc. Guess it's another wake up call and time to back things up again. In the meantime, I'll listen to this song again and be thankful for 2 brothers who know so much more than I do about computers.
