A Moment Of Joy A Life Time Of Regret: Careless Love By Bessie Smith



We have been taught time and time again to be careful who we give our love to.  Still there are some of us who let our emotions get the better of our judgement.  They also say that when this happens, you'll really regret it later.  When you've reached your limit, that when thing's get really nasty.  This is what learned while listening to Bessie Smith's cover of the song "Careless Love".

You really feel the emotion of regret from this song.  The central character sure got her ruined by choosing the wrong guy.  Each lyric deeply describes how her life was ruined and how angry she was at choosing this bum who is making her miserable.  Still she blames no one but herself since she made the choice.  Well, that's what happen when you're quick to think that it's love when it wasn't.

I remember some say something about a moment of happiness followed by a life time of regret.  Well that happens when you make the wrong choice.  Even in love, you still have to use your head. You be realistic about things especially when it's obvious to everyone else.  If not, you might wind singing this song day and night and that isn't cool.
