How many of you remember Simon and Garfunkel's " Sparrow"?
Who will love a little sparrow?
Who's travelled far and cries for rest?
"Not I" said the Oak Tree
"I won't share my branches with no Sparrow's nest
And my blanket of leaves won't warm her cold breast".
(the rest of the lyrics are very touching, too)
Sparrow illustrates the plight of those who become forgotten within a rich society. Rejected and overlooked by the rich and beautiful, the sparrow only finds peace in death. from Genius Annotation
S&G sang many songs about politics and the way of things in the 60's, seems nothing really changes.
Oh! Another S&G lyric:
Seldom heard lyric from The Boxer:
Now the years are rolling by me
They are rocking easily
I am older than I was once was
And younger than Ill be
But that's not unusual.
Isn't is strange
After changes upon changes
We are more or less the same....
After changes upon changes
We are more or less the same....
Whoa! That was a deep rabbit hole! Just some reminiscing on a winter's day.
