On and On The Rain Will Fall

The miseducation of.....

9/11
Yes that one, and Sting had planned a gig to be recorded at his place in Italy. Do we go ahead? what would be the thing to do to honour what had happened?
They played, he opened with this

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could

Not a new song but prophetic words that night.

Today
I’ve joined with many at the funeral and tribute to the son of friends who passed aged 26 recently, and yes we celebrated him and his unfolding and we also lamented what will remain folded of what was hoped for.

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are


While we can, 
choosing life and kindness would be the most fitting tribute to him. 

A tune
Fragile - by Sting
