    "How could the light that burned so brightly....
    Suddenly burn so pale?
    Bright eyes..."

    Adam Young make me think about love.
    Apart from the victory of the heart, there is a better reward for those they love.
    See his smile lights up any stormy day and watch him for hours, if you want to ...
    Being able to speak, painting, writing, playing about him ..always with a melody that is his sweet voice in the ears.
    Sometimes I stop and think of him and of every moment that we have spend togheter and I realize that him is my whole life!
    Don't stop loving.

    That alone, is really special to me, and I won’t let anyone take that from me.

      +riggerrogger101 probably because the story is a cautionary tail on the evils of socialism and communism. The book is a very powerful statement on individual freedom and what happens to it when it is stripped away.

      From the animated British film about bunnies that ended up all killing each other serving as an allegory, with the labours of a bunch of rabbit characters "mirroring the timeless struggles between tyranny and freedom, reason and blind emotion, and the individual and the corporate state."

    This is one of my favorite Art Garfunkel songs out there, including everything he did with Paul Simon.
    This is a great song for Adam to sing, I feel. It's rich in emotion and nicely nuanced, and I love Adam's interpretation of it. It's a nice departure from the tone of The Midsummer Station, which was marked by an increase in accessibility and the introduction of some very dark undercurrents. Still, there's a lot of substance in everything Adam does, pop-y or not, and it all means a lot to me.
