Saturday morning run...epiphany.

The riddle is Babel.  The answer is Universe.  And the mystery is how we get there from here.

" All I know is sometimes things can be hard
But you should know by now
They come and they go
So why, oh why
Do I look to the other side
'Cos I know the grass is greener but
Just as hard to mow."

Every now and again you hear a song lyric and it just hits you like a brick wall. No yielding, no budging and no give. Its not that the lyrics are necessarily elegant or eloquent, but it is that they ring true to you instantly. Like a resounding gong of truth or at least some sort of insight into some truth. You see the lyrics as a truism that continues to resonate even after the song has long since stopped playing.

These JBT lyrics have not left my head since I first heard them:

'Cos I know the grass is greener but
Just as hard to mow."

And in these words I have found some truth.

Finally, two bands that the NLM community really wanted some live tunes from have now made their way to www.NetLiveMusic.com
