Every victory has a taste that's bittersweet.
--Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits



This really should have been included in the post titled, Well said. It's quite suited to accompany Kaye Redfield Jamison's quote about being a lesser version of herself once she became stable.

The song, On Every Street, is the first song on my iPod's "Sleep" playlist. The entire second half of the song is a four-chord phrase that repeats and builds from something spare until it becomes a lush blend of four instruments played to their potential. It is stunning.

And then it's over.
