Day 31: A song for an ending or a last day
Click to expand...

Some times, what you think is the end is just a new beginning. Some times, you are so absorbed in preparing for the inevitable that you fail to see what comes next. Some times, things will be looking up before long, if one is able to accept the pain and the hurt in the moment.

But some times, you can't. Some times, you can't make it across that precipice, and you fall. Into despair, into anger, into confusion, into this pitfall you've dug for yourself.

Even though others can't see it, to you it is real. Tangible. And there are truths to both sides. Just... be open to change.
Things aren't always as they seem.

Iron Maiden - When the Wild Wind Blows.

 
Day 30: A song for going (or going back) to school.

Have I ever mentioned I love ATE? Another track from the criminally underrated Songs of God and Whiskey. A song of youth, of college, of the so many emotions of trying to grow up, chasing love and life, and all that that costs. And then seeing the incoming students and feeling...old, maybe for the first time. They haven't done any of this yet, so are they even real?

"All these kids seem to be
Less like ghosts on the ring
Of the graveyard we've built
From the sting of these horrible fears"

He looks back over their relationship, his failings and mistakes. He is broken, but she is still with him, and she understands. The younger generation will --eventually-- understand as well, but by then "we'll be dust on their shoes."

It is upbeat and melancholy, as the best things tend to be. But sadly hopeful? At my age, I still understand that most of all.

"On the day that you die
Please remember these words
You were the luckiest gift
That I'll never deserve
I can feel you and me
Like my heart beat
And blood stream in turns"

"The Lines of the Cars," The Airborne Toxic Event.

Having watched the show this song is based on, this is one of the two Maiden songs that can make me tear up.
 
You lot are bringing the excellence this week!

Day 31: A song for an ending or a last day.

The Parting Glass -- the last drink before leaving, be it for the night, or for much, much longer. It is a custom that goes back over a thousand years in Celtic lands. The song named after that tradition was first written down in Scotland in 1615 or so, but with a very different tune. It moved to Ireland, which changed the tune to something far more traditional Irish, and that is the version you hear most often.

In the song, the singer is asking for one last drink before he goes. What I find refreshing is that he knows he is not perfect. He spent his money on "good company." He tried to charm women in his life, but the only harm he did was self-inflicted. He is sometimes "in want of wit," maybe even foolish. But for all of that, he is loved, and will be missed. We should all have friends who love us like that.

I am of Irish descent, and this is a family song. I have sung it sober, and I have sung it very, very not sober. I have sung it for friends leaving, a sweet sorrow because there is hope they will return soon. And I have sung it over stones, those of friends whom I will not see again on this side of the veil. We sing when we are happy, and we sing louder when we are sad.

This version was sung by Irish singer Hozier during the early days of the pandemic of 2020, live on the RTÉ's The Late Late Show. It was dedicated to an Irish health care worker who had died that day after catching Covid while trying to save lives.

"But since it falls unto my lot
That I must go and you must not..."

It is almost unadorned, with just a simple keyboard backing, and this is the song where I really fell in love with his voice. It is filled with joy, and sorrow; with pleasure, and pain. And this is life -- hello, and goodbye, as always.

"I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all."

"The Parting Glass," Hozier

That was beautiful. As was your writing.
I like Hozier a lot but hadn't heard that before
