I've always loved this song and it has always struck a strong cord within me. Such a sad song.
I Am a Rock
A winter's day
In a deep and dark december;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

oh i thought you meant the one bob seegar sang
Ah, flashback to my youth, the music that used to fuel my tears during breakups.
('Cause you can only cry so long for a dirty, rotten scoundrel, but you want to keep on crying to get it all out of your system, so you listen to "music to cry your eyes out to"......)

Ive never been called a ROCK.
But I have been called a "Rock Head".... LOL
That is so weird! Well, not really really weird, considering so many of the things that you and I have in common all ready, but I have always identified with this song. I have always felt like that song kind of relates to me in so many ways. Great tune, with awesome words!
