Bump.
Happened upon this thread while searching for Elton John citations. Surprised that this eleven-year-dormant thread has me as last poster...and it is interesting to put myself back in the headspace I was in at the beginning of February 2010.
While not cited in my list, Chicago's Wishing You Were Here would have been appropriate:
"And I'd like to change my life, and you know I would
Just to be with you tonight, baby, if I could
But I've got my job to do, and I do it well,
Change my life?
So I guess that's how it is..."
Happy to say it all worked out.
