That song makes me cry.

It's a really beautiful song! <3

It's my favorite of theirs, too bad the rest of their stuff isn't anything like it.

This is for a char of mine that is always surrounded by death. She has not let herself have time to mourn, because she promised to fill so many last requests for the dead and dying. Now she has nearly completed her promises, and is starting to feel what happened.

"Goodbye, Dear Friends"

Some roads that you take
Some bonds we'll choose to break
I swore I'd no longer be the pallbearer
But I carried you to bed
So you could rest your head
You were taking off a load, heavy drinking
The world it carries on
Your memories and song
And your pictures on my wall, are not forgotten
There was hymns that came from mouths
That turned crosses upside down
But it came through their teeth with great ease

And all are bobbing heads in sync
And all have got a lot on their minds to think about
But you carry on in pictures and in song
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend, Goodbye, dear friend

Some stories break your heart
And some with such applaud
Buried deep inside, where it's OK to cry
Some boys won't shed a tear
Oh, but I tell it like this here
It can break me down and get me where it hurts the most

And all are bobbing heads in sync
And all have got a lot on their minds to think about
But you carry on in pictures and in song
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend, Goodbye, dear friend

But you carry on in pictures and in song
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend, Goodbye, dear friend

Usually the rampant romanticism in music stalls me but for once I can think of a song for each of my characters:

It wasn't easy to get going - should have been ten strong hands on the steering wheel. Things are good if not easy now.

This one was tough to find a song for and I've come to the conclusion that though they're very happy and comfortable they're wasting their life in work and activities that will only come undone in time.

But .... rather less dramatic, especially in terms of what others are allowed to see.

Sometimes you've got to stop talkin' and start doing.

Less mopey than the song sounds about it

THE CLASH
"Should I Stay Or Should I Go?"

Darlin' you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

It's always tease tease tease
You're happy when I'm on my knees
One day is fine and next is black
So if you want me off your back
Well come on an' let me know
Should I Stay or should I go?

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An' if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know

This indecision's buggin' me (Indecisión me molesta)
If you don't want me, set me free (Si no me quieres, librame)
Exactly whom I'm supposed to be (Dime! ¿Qué tengo ser?)
Don't you know which clothes even fit me? (¿Sabes que ropa me quedar?)
Come on and let me know (Pero tienes que decir)
Should I cool it or should I blow? (¿Me debo ir o quedarme?)

This song reminds me so much of a character that it hurts.

No light, no light
In your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight
Could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day,
You can't choose what stays
And what fades away

And I'd do anything
To make you stay
No light, no light
No light
Tell me what you want me to say

Would you leave me,
If I told you what I've done?
And would you need me,
If I told you what I've become?
'Cause it's so easy,
To say it to a crowd
But it's so hard, my love,
To say it to you out loud

No Light, No Light by Florence + The Machine

Something to put the mood to relax and think for awhile.
