I felt divided and unhealable, in the wake of all those deaths and bombs. And I spent most of those years in grim survivor mode, battening down hatches

I agree with you over the optimism and stability.
I've had fireworks and misery and I wouldn't ever want to go back there. People confuse conflict with excitement too often in relationships.
A lovely post but I'm afraid I'm probably nearer Z's musical taste than yours.

Stabilizing influences and cheerful optimism sound like the stuff of great romance to me because they are the stuff of real romance. Great song.
