Lonely In Your Nightmare

 

1982

 

Duran Duran had "Girls on Film" and "Planet Earth."  Rio had "Rio" and the most acclaimed music video in Duran Duran's history.

 

The iconic song.  The iconic album.  You would think my choice for this post would be "Rio."  Although I do love the song and video, my preferred song is "Lonely In Your Nightmare."

 

Where "What Happens Tomorrow" hopes for a better and more positive future, "Lonely In Your Nightmare" has personal meaning to me.

 

I am Bipolar.  I have Temporal Lobe Seizure Disorder.  I suffer from severe Panic Disorder.  I am agoraphobic.  Psychiatric nightmares in the most devastating way. 

 

I do not know anyone who has the same or similar experiences, so I do feel lonely in my nightmare.  "...let me in..." gives me musical comfort.

 

And so when I discovered the Rio album, I especially discovered "Lonely In Your Nightmare."
