QT: Isolation My spin: Had an almost immediate song with the word as a refrain in a song by one of South Africa's bands back in the dark times of the late 70s/80s. Lyrics below and a link to the song in YT ---------------------------------------------------- **The Asylum Kids - Johnny** Johnny, his conscience is on his mind again The drugs of joy have all worn off again And she was so affective and efficient as a friend But all stories have an end Johnny is floating on the edge again Entertaining dreams are his only friend And Johnny saw the last few chapters, familiar as the folks next door Living in a cold, cold war Isolation Isolation Isolation Was the price that he payed for his difference Isolation Isolation Isolation Was the price that he payed for his difference Oh, it took him so long to find (Find out) Oh, it took him so long to find (Find out) Johnny wants to cure the world But the whole world dressed up fine for breakfast (All messed up) Johnny wants to cure the world But the whole world dressed up fine for breakfast (Is all messed up) Oh, but the facts remain There's no better present for a new generation Isolation Isolation Isolation Was the price that he payed for his difference Isolation Isolation Isolation Was the price that he payed for his difference Oh It took him so long to find (To find out) Oh It took him so long to find (To find out) Oh It took him so long to find (To find out) Johnny, his conscience is on his mind again ------------------------------------------------ https://budgetpixel.com/p/21212 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_hZAYjxt_8

About this image
A moody oil painting shows a weary soldier in camouflage seated and smoking, rendered with expressive brushwork and a somber color palette. In the background, a torn poster urges justice with the words "End Apartheid," adding political context and emotional weight to the scene.
