Migraine '03: Day 2
I Am the Hippy Hippy Shake - on the Stairway to Heaven
People are such songs. So many new ones we crave; and even of our favorites we grow old. Songs attract our attention in many ways, by speed and rhythm, by popularity, and of course by length. This leads me to a thought. Even our favorite songs we don't want to go on forever; often, the ones we love the most we love for the very reason of what they give to us in their brief time.
It is not shameful to want to be number one; as long as you don't mind being number one for just a little while. And some songs, hey, you're happy when they finally end -- even if you've loved them forever.
