March Madness or Asche zu Asche

Seeing as March is the month of madness I thought I would put together a mad compilation... ashes to ashes, dust to dust and all in between. All in all it turned out to be quite listenable as well...

Some songs did not seem to fit in intially but with some re-arranging things slotted in quite well, as to a favourite well it must be Vanessa Carlton and her version of the Stones hit Paint It Black followed by Billy Joel and We Did'nt Start The Fire... I have always liked the song as it has a sort of snapshot of my experience of history in my lifetime. The theme of fire, ashes, pain and heat is continued in the lyrics from Santana and Dido and Feels Like Fire;
Feels like fire - Santana & Dido
I'm telling you it's over
Now there's an angel
Holding me
My way's easy
Even if you're fallen
Oh you're struggling
There's still beauty
In what we do

So que sera
Let's go sailing on
There's a wise man
In every fool

Chorus:
I say come back
Come in from the cold
Into the warm
I feel like fire
Guiding you back home
As darkness falls

So everyone stands in line
Cos they wanna stay alive
To wait alone
No dog no bone
And then you find it's over
Still it tears your heart
To slip away
From the crowd

But if you have
What it takes
To return to where
All the world
Knows your name

Then que sera
Lets go sailing on
There's a wise man
In every fool

Chorus

I say come home
Leave it all behind
And settle down
I feel my love
Can give me what I want
For all time

"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." Jack London (1876 - 1916), Jack London's Tales of Adventure
