Keep a light on those you love
They will be there when you die
Baby, there's no need to fear
Baby, there's no need to cry

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Well, it means something to someone

You've fused my broken bones
Back together and then
Lift the weight of the world
From my shoulders again

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
It will mean something to someone

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone

You touch my face
Scarred with spurs in my ear
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces fear

Touch my face
Scarred with spurs in my ear
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces fear, fear

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will mean something to someone

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone

it’s maybe one of my biggest fears that when I go, there won’t be anyone around who knows me well enough to much care. Knowing what kind of life I’ve lead, and hopefully having come to terms by then, perhaps it shouldn’t matter. Yet, it’s still disquieting.



I used to have the same fear.  I even thought that dying younger was better because more people seemed to attend the funerals of middle-aged people than older seniors.  However, unless you believe that your spirit hangs around your dead body and is able to view the proceedings at your funeral, which I don't, what does it matter?  

Ultimately I decided to just focus on on each day that I'm alive.  My daily goal is to try to make the world a better place, rather than contribute to its demise.  Simple acts of kindness and awareness of my footprint on the natural environment are the positive accomplishments I count on my personal ledger.

As Mother Theresa stated, “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

Is there anybody from London, who can tell something about the abandoned unfinished building on the cover? it's a bit strange that in central London such a valuable building plot is unused. Except as a film set (netflix: Marcella)...




Looks more like a 'gasometer' to me. Natural or Town Gas storage, used to even out the spikes in demand. The central storage would rise and fall depending on volume of gas stored. Mostly gone now...

This is one of those songs that grabs me and won't let go. (To me what The National would be better off trying to be.)  It's a bit on the preachy or melancholy side, but all its pieces of passion and sincerity are truly fine.

This singer has a very good voice, live better than on cd, but the music is not similar to Madrugada!
Posted 13 years ago by helgigermany    [ Reply ]

I thought it was Madrugada as well, which is NOT good, seeing as I can't stand them anymore - they've been so overplayed, Bill, please enough with the Madrugada and Hoyum (sp?  LOL)...

Anyway, I LIKED this after the first minute or so, after I verified that it was indeed NOT Madrugada!   {#Cowboy}
