\*Oh, I’m gonna love you Like nobody’s loved you Come rain or come shine High as a mountain Deep as a river Won’t that be fine Days maybe cloudy or sunny We’re either in or out of the money I’m with you always I’m with you rain or shine.\* - Come Rain or Come Shine, Eric Clapton and B.B. King from the album, Riding with the King ---

I don’t know why this one popped up, as I haven’t listened to this album in a few decades. Did you see your friend crying from his eyes today? Did you see him run through the streets and far away? Did you see him run, did you see him fall? Did his life flash by at the bedroom door? 10538 Overture, ELO ---

> [@Nava](#): > > … bloody hell, **Bambi** , that song was the anthem for a project I worked in, specifically the chorus… (no, that project was not going well, in fact it’s become legendary in Spain as an example of How Not To Be A Manager and How To Piss Off The Client, why do you ask?) > > I thought of a piece of West Side’s Story “I feel pretty”, which was my earworm until **Bambi** ’s post kicked it out, but half of my knowledge of the lyrics is limited to “lalalala”. It’ll stick in your head for a while, but at least it’s a good song. It was the first single from that band I ever heard and I’ve grown to like them very much. Today’s lyrics: Some say love, it is a river, That drowns the tender reed. Some say love, it is a razor, That leaves your soul to bleed. Some say love, it is a hunger, An endless, aching need. I say love, it is a flower, And you, it’s only seed. ---
