Two versions of a great tune.
You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion.
By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads
Now they say that there is humor in misfortune
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
Hey, you know some people say that values are subjective,
But they're just speaking words that someone else has said.
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective.
Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead.
Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
Yeah, you know I used to weave my words into confusion.
And so I hope you'll understand me when I 'm through
You know I used to live my life as an illusion,
But reality will make my dreams come true.
So I'll keep fighting to live till there's no reason to fight
And I'll keep trying to see until the end is in sight
You know I'm trying to give so c'mon give me a try
You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready ...
'til I'm ready .....
'til I'm ready .....
'til I'm ready to die

Glorious Monday to you, sir!

oooooooooooooooooooooooh
ok, I'm hooked. . . altho it is a tad sad. . . don't really like music that makes me feel like that anymore (you don't know how many times I haven't sung "I'm not in love" or. . . actually, I'd better stop the contents of this bracket before I incriminate myself)
gorgeous songs, both versions
makes me want to sing Hallelujah - now why is that?
E.I. - Happy Monday to you too!
Mel - Glorious even, wow! Let's start this week out with a bang, shall we?
E.I. - Ah, but which version of Hallelujah?
my point exactly
(-:

/\/\/\/\-:
(that's a "zig-zag" smile, according to Nancy - but I have no idea what one of those is)
That's a great song.
I love how a really good song will allow many interpretations to sound right.
