Kopi Moment #10

Now john at the bar is a friend of mine,
He gets me my drinks for free,
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke,
But there's someplace that he'd rather be.
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me,"
As the smile ran away from his face,
Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star,
If I could get out of this place.
- Billy Joel, 'Piano Man'

Goodnight Saigon

Billy Joel's Goodnight Saigon - what real music appreciation is and should be, instead of Smetana, Dvorak and a whole lotta people with names I've never heard of. Just listen to the lyrics...it really brings the intensity and horror of the Vietnam War home.

23

I first heard this awesome song when I was 19. I'm now 23. Just never thought four years would go by so quickly.
23
by Jimmy Eat World

I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live...
Not stopping...

It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...
