Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
The weekend is getting here. Hope you get to enjoy some of it.
And When I Die...great song written by a 17 year old Laura Nyro. A forgotten genius.
1916 - Motorhead
Sixteen years old when I went to the war,
To fight for a land fit for heroes,
God on my side, and a gun in my hand,
Chasing my days down to zero,
And I marched and I fought and I bled and I died,
And I never did get any older,
But I knew at the time that a year in the line,
Was a long enough life for a soldier,
We all volunteered, and we wrote down our names,
And we added two years to our ages,
Eager for life and ahead of the game,
Ready for history’s pages,
And we brawled and we fought and we whored ‘til we stood,
Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder,
A thirst for the Hun, we were food for the gun,
And that’s what you are when you’re soldiers,
I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees,
Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother,
And I fell by his side, and that’s how we died,
Clinging like kids to each other,
And I lay in the mud and the guts and the blood,
And I wept as his body grew colder,
And I called for my mother and she never came,
Though it wasn’t my fault and I wasn’t to blame,
The day not half over and ten thousand slain,
And now there’s nobody remembers our names
And that’s how it is for a soldier
Written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans, of Badfinger, both whom committed suicide.
RUSH: The Garden (a “farewell” song of sorts, last song, last album)
“The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect
So hard to earn, so easily burned”
