Fair Disclosure: This post involves words that are not, for the most part, my own. I’ve wanted to share these lyrics for quite some time, but I could never quite settle on the proper packaging. We all have favorite songs with great meaning, sometimes personal, sometimes universal, but the imagery doesn’t always translate. I finally snapped a pic that feels right, so here we go…
The nature of your tragedy
Is chained around your neck
Do you lead, or are you led
Are you sure that you don’t care
There are reasons here, to give your life
And follow in your way
The passion lives to keep your faith
Though all are different, all are great
Climbing as we fall
We dare to hold on to our fate
And steal away our destiny
To catch ourselves
With quiet grace
Greetings from Cómpeta, Spain. More to follow. As for the actual artist and song for this bit, let’s just say that you might find it in excess of the stairs. If not, you might also find the answer in the tags for this post. In any case, here’s to the songs we sing, whatever they might be, and welcome to wherever you are…

Bloody love that song. And the words. I discovered the live version on my works iPod last year and played it constantly. Reminded me what a chuffin great band. Need to go play it now 😊 Amazing building.

Yep, great band, great song, and that slow musical build in the first half of the song makes things even more powerful, something I tried to capture with this shot at the Cathedral of Malaga…

That picture is absolutely wonderful. That song is too. And the band. I love the band. So thank you – this little pot pourri was pretty much perfect 👌

You can imagine the quiet squeal I let out when, after struggling to get my ass properly aligned so I could come up with a decent angle, I reviewed the shot and thought “I think I might be able to do something with this”…

The squeal was entirely justified 🙂

This is one of those songs that I will happily bellow on a patio after a certain amount of adult beverages have been consumed…

It was one of those kismet moments, taking this shot in the Malaga Cathedral and knowing instantly what I was going to do with it…
