Actually Linda, the most annoying thing on earth is when you work in a music shop and someone comes in and tries to get you to identify that song that is stuck in your head by singing or humming bits of it to you.

I used to own a music shop and I was driven batty by people coming in and going "Do you know that song that goes doo de dooo, la la la?"

It's annoying to be the person someone is asking, but it is also annoying to not be able to remember a song that you are thinking of.

I have a view:
Where is a policeman when you need one of the song Suburbia of the Pet Shop Boys

Oh seeing is believing of the song Easy lover of Phil Collins

when I first heard this song I had no idea who the band was. All I knew is that this line stood out to me and it's been one of my favorite songs since.

Like in your eyes I see my future in an instant
and there it goes I think I've found my best friend


My significant other sing that song to me on our first anniversary. :) That's why I like that line.

明天会更好 is a title of a Chinese song. My favourite line is actually the title and the most important line [明天会更好].
明天会更好 means-Tomorrow will be better.

Another song line/verse is the Irish Blessing we sing at school. I have no idea who wrote it.
May the road rise, up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face and
May the rain fall soft upon your fields

Until we meet again
May you be held in the palm of God's hands
Until we meed again
May you be held in the palm of God's hands

repeat


These song signifies extreme hope. May tomorrow really be better,
Ail.

Ail ... we have a slight variation on that blessing:

'May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
And may you be in Heaven five minutes
Before the Devil knows you're dead'

Good thought for a Sunday morning.
