I like this song well enough, but is there anything actually "strange" about the observations he sites?

Surprised to see someone mention the Porpoise Song. Some lesser know Monkees. Someone knows their music!
...oh, you forgot "Blackbird" on the list of bird sounds.

Though I like the last few tunes very much...I'm falling into the Zzzzz mode and I need energy. This isn't helping. Help. Btw, the voice sounds a bit too much like Dave Matthews for me to appreciate the vocals. Music nice.

But he finds himself, despite himself, at home, stunned by the beauty of all the little things he had always taken for granted. Just absolutely inspiring. I hope I come home some day.

"Gilgamesh, where are you roaming? The life that you are seeking you will not find. When the heavenly gods created human beings, they kept everlasting for themselves and gave us death. So, Gilgamesh, accept your fate, each day, wash your head, bathe your body, and wear clothes that are sparkling fresh. Fill your stomach with tasty food. Play, sing, dance, and be happy both night and day. Delight in the pleasures that your wife brings you, and cherish the little child who holds your hand. Make every day of your life a feast of rejoicing! This is the task that the gods have set before all human beings. This is the life you should seek, for this is the best life a mortal can hope to achieve."

Humm. I think his voice does have a paulish simonish colour to it. Nice tune it reminds me of something else, I can't put my finger on exactly what..

I don't think it should.  The child's innocence is chipped away by so many interactions over time that to wonder that sometimes as a parent is natural.

Ok, I'm a sucker for songs that include birds, insects and small furry animals—witness:

  • Leon Russell - My Cricket
  • Leon Russell - Out In The Woods
  • Pink Floyd - Grantchester Meadows
Anyone have some 'adds' for this list (to fulfill my completist tendencies)?

I have known two people this week who died suddenly, too young and too full of life.  I literally JUST had this conversation with someone, about living life now, not tomorrow.  5 minutes later this song came on.
