We were in the kitchen making coffee, drained and weary, talking about her latest hospital visit. Saskia, my wife, grumbled that something was wrong with the coffee machine, to which I replied, mildly sarcastic: "Well, you can't have it all." She turned to me, eyes sparkling, and said, "Oh yes, I do."

She was referring to the countless conditions she's acquired over recent years. Conditions that severely limit her everyday life. Conditions so unpredictable that every day is a toss-up between good and bad — and even "good" is relative: just a few hours of somewhat normal functioning.

We laughed.

For a long time, I'd wanted to write a song for her — something uplifting, yet honest. And this small moment finally gave me the right perspective. Saskia loves seventies music, and she loves voices like Gregory Porter’s. DennisDeMille’s voice certainly holds its own in comparison (https://soundcloud.com/dennis-demille).


YOU CAN’T HAVE IT ALL
 Morning comes
You take it slow
Pull yourself up
Here we go
Another day
The hurt goes on
But we laugh a lot
Where we belong

You warm your hands around your coffee mug
I admire the way you push on through 
So much bad luck and struggles in a row
They say you can't have it all
But you know
You do

I won’t lie
It’s hard to see
The life you loved 
Slip out of reach
And what we lost
It takes its toll 
It drains us dry
Our heart and soul

But love’s not weighed in what we miss
What we still have will see us through
When we kiss, I kiss the love of my life
They say you can't have it all
But you know
I do
Yes, I do

No love’s not weighed in what we miss
What we still have will see us through
When we kiss, I kiss the love of my life
They say you can't have it all
But you know
I do
Yes, I do
Yes, I do

You can't have it all

You can't have it all (with Dennis DeMille)

Dark Planet

You're an apparition
A holographic thought
I'm a tangible ghost
Crystal clear, nebulous
My mechanical disposition
Your simulated stimulation
My pixelated impulses 
Our electric indulgence

It's a beautiful lie
White noise and dopamine
Our self-destruction
Our cryptocurrency
Perpetual isolation
Monetized masturbation
Pixelated impulses
Our electric indulgence
