Finished with my woman

โ€™Cause she couldnโ€™t help me with my mind

People think Iโ€™m insane

Because I am frowning all the time

And it donโ€™t count for much

But Iโ€™m not letting go

I believe thereโ€™s still much to believe in

Whenever youโ€™re around

Youโ€™ve got a way of lifting me up
Instead of bringing me down

"Never Forget" - Judas Priest - 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApFyTdpRv5M 

 

As the sun sets on another day
All the memories will never fade away
Looking back to all those moments that we shared
Where it all began with all those dreams we dared
We leave with no regrets, we will never forget

 

 

Beautiful ballad and wonderful words to read/hear today (and any day).

And he was willinโ€™ to make a deal

"Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)" - INXS

 

Playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of doubt
Don't water them with your tears
Don't think about all the years
You'd rather be without

An old man turned 98

He won the lottery and died the next day

Itโ€™s a black fly in your Chardonnay

Itโ€™s a death row pardon two minutes too late

And isnโ€™t it ironicโ€ฆ.Donโ€™t you think

Ironic, Alanis Morissette

You and I travel to the beat of a different drum

Oh, canโ€™t you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me? Whoa
