    This is a song I had heard at least a dozen times before before the lyrics finally crystalized for me and I realized just what the song was about.

    Then it hit me like a gut-punch.

    Brick
    by Ben Folds and Darren Jessee

    6 am day after Christmas
    I throw some clothes on in the dark
    The smell of cold
    Car seat is freezing
    The world is sleeping
    I am numb

    Up the stairs to the apartment
    She is balled up on the couch
    Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
    They're not home to find us out
    And we drive
    Now that I have found someone
    I'm feeling more alone
    Than I ever have before

    She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
    Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
    She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

    They call her name at 7:30
    I pace around the parking lot
    Then I walk down to buy her flowers
    And sell some gifts that I got
    Can't you see
    It's not me you're dying for
    Now she's feeling more alone
    Than she ever has before

    She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
    Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
    She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

    As weeks went by
    It showed that she was not fine
    They told me son, it's time to tell the truth

    She broke down, and I broke down
    Cause I was tired of lying

    Driving home to her apartment
    For a moment we're alone
    Yeah she's alone
    I'm alone
    Now I know it

    She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
    Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
    She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

    What a Wonderful World -

    As sung by the Great Satchmo.

    I see trees of green, red roses too
    I see them bloom for me and you
    And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

    I see skies of blue and clouds of white
    The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
    And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

    The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
    Are also on the faces of people going by
    I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
    They're really saying "I love you"

    I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
    They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
    And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
    Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

    Oh yeah

    Simon...the sad Bobby Goldsboro song was "Honey", I think.

    Someone mentioned Starry, Starry Night. Don't know if that ones different from Don McClean's "Vincent" but I like that one alot.

    I like the song "Silver Springs" sung by Stevie Nicks. It's a melancholy song written by her about her relationship with Lindsey Buckingham. A very passionate song too.

    I don't know the name of the song, but part of it goes

    My name is Luka

    I live on the second floor

    I live upstairs from you....

    They only hit until you cry

    After that you don't ask why

    You just don't argue anymore...

    or something like that.

    That was Luka by Suzanne Vega Cicatrix. She was brilliant. Actually she still is, but her heyday was the "Marlene on the Wall" period.

    Peace to you all...

    There is one song that makes me choke up EVERY time I hear it: "Vincent" sung by either Josh Groban or Jane Oliver.

    It was written about artist Vincent Van Gogh, who committed suicide. Beautiful song... wrenches my heart every time I hear it because I always think of people who take their own lives because they just don't feel heard or understood... or have lost all hope. And there's a lot of folks, particularly young ones/teenagers, who feel that way... as well as "sheep" who've been ostracized! When I hear this song, my heart and spirit... and flesh... cries... for them all...

    Again, peace to you all!
