One of the best things to happen before my time, Simon and Garfunkel are well worth a listen even if you weren't around back in their heyday. Given the weather the last few days in my hometown, this one seems a good fit:
"A Hazy Shade of Winter" ~ Simon & Garfunkel
"Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say,
but if your hopes should pass away,
simply pretend
that you can build them again..."
A reminder of the temporal nature of our existence, and a poetic dirge articulating the feeling of insignificance upon realizing that one has let one's youth slip away without taking full advantage of life.
PS - did you know Paul Simon was married to Princess Leia? For serious. You learn something new every day...
