Melanie, love the idea of “ Ring Out the past, Ring In the New Hopes of today”-PEACE. Oh that Peace could take hold of our planet. I can’t grasp the evils of war- why kill and destroy other’s homeland. Why come to our Country to spread more evil? Let’s spread the Love and Peace. ( do I sound like a child from the 60’s!!)? Thank you Melanie.
Sing it loud, fellow Child of the ‘60s!! Oh that peace could take hold of our planet, indeed Angie. Let’s spread the love and peace together, my friend! So glad you are here. Happy New Year!
Can’t think of a better way to start a new year than with such a gorgeous Dead clip! Thanks Tomàs!😘 And those lyrics will be my motto for the year… (“Seldom turns out the way it does in a song”) but will look for “the light in the strangest of places” and hope to play in the heart of gold band, right alongside you dear Tom. You are “the larger heart, the kindlier hand, the valiant man and free.” Hope for 2025. 🌅
Anthem
Song by Leonard Cohen
The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Ah, the wars they will be fought again
The holy dove, she will be caught again
Bought and sold, and bought again
The dove is never free
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
We asked for signs
The signs were sent
The birth betrayed
The marriage spent
Yeah, and the widowhood
Of every government
Signs for all to see
I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
You can add up the parts
But you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march
There is no drum
Every heart, every heart
To love will come
But like a refugee
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
This is a perfect offering! Thank you for bringing this song back to me, Georgi! So much hope.

Well, I ain't always right, but I've never been wrong
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song
Once in a while, you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right
So let's all play in the heart of gold band and bring the world
peace and love
