Fred Patten, Furry fandom's historian and reviewer has given his thoughts on the second volume of the Blue Horizon series on the Dogpatch Press website.
I've had a few "best friends" during different chapters of my life and one of them who stuck with me for many years often tried to sway me over to the style of music he preferred. I admit there were a few individual songs that did appeal to me even if the greater sub-genre didn't grab me as a whole, but there was one that has become one of my favorites over the years and it often reminds me of the good times during that part of my life. Listening to it this morning on a drive through town, I had to smile and sing along.
A perfect day Or so I say From where I'm standing This rollercoaster ride Fate will decide the ending Love everlasting Or lost on the way The smiles and the frowns The ups and downs Of fortune turning The twists and turns The lessons learned The bridges burning Nights to remember And never forget Go, seize the day Wake up and say This is an extraordinary life Enjoy today Come what may This is an extraordinary life I gave it all My cards have fallen But I'm still alive And in the end Believe my friend I will survive Glory or heartache And some of the joy Go seize the day Wake up and say This is an extraordinary life Enjoy today Come what may This is an extraordinary life All of the good times All of the bad Responsibility is totally mine I know, I rightly stand accused But I believe Yeah, I believe Yes, I can change my world Go, seize the day Wake up and say This is an extraordinary life Enjoy today Come what may This is an extraordinary life ("An Extraordinary Life" by Asia from the 2008 album "Phoenix") |
