about

For HAPPENS EVERY TIME, I created a depiction of deleterious codependency. We've either heard about - know of - or directly lived through those love-hate romances. The on-again, off-again entanglements that drive batty both participants and bystanders alike.

My flawed, yet quixotic Geary Valentine character suffers from addiction to love and longs to find in a significant someone stability and reliance. His desire to pass through the oblique, wrought-iron gates of bliss - toward profound interpersonal attachment - is praiseworthy.

Meet Laureltide Green Resident Geary Valentine
Music Therapist
Address: 111 Pyehull Walk

Valentine's revolving door of girlfriends reflects his inability to make good choices. He's adept at containing his emotions but hopes for a change to moor him to something more meaningful.

lyrics

Happens Every Time
(Words & music by Michael Mazzarella)

It happens every time you say goodbye to me
Just about when I concede you've gone away
Running, crying, hypnotizing seems to be your game
Look what you became

It happens every time I try to get away
Somewhere along the line I find you're back again
Running, crying, hypnotizing seems to be your game
Look what you became

I need to get on, I need to get out
And try to work out what it's all about
I need to get on I need to go out and find me someone

It happens every time you say goodbye to me
