Lucky Man by The Verve



Was purchasing a train ticket from the automated dispenser in the station when an elderly woman came up to me. She was probably Russian, maybe 50 years old or so, about five feet tall and rather stout, swaying from side to side as she hobbled along with the help of a cane, her motions resembling that of a child's doll with a huge rounded base where the legs ought to be. Her head was covered in a shawl and she was bundled in several layers of thin clothing in this bitter weather whilst most everyone else, oblivious to her presence, were decked out in much warmer apparel.

She jingled the two coins in her plastic cup only once before pleading for several seconds in her foreign tongue, relaying the story of her hardships, trying to justify to this stranger that any contribution on my part was well deserved. But all that was not necessary. Her tone mirrored the sense of desperation so painfully evident in her eyes of green that I had to look away. I was already searching for loose change.

I managed to fish out a two euro coin and dropped it in her cup and the gesture appeared to have astounded her. Her gratitude was so clear and distinct that I felt ashamed for not offering more. She mumbled a few words of prayer whilst gesturing the sign of the holy cross before reaching for my ungloved right hand and planting a soft kiss on it. This time the astonishment was mine.

So despite whatever it is we're going through, we would do well to remember that in the grand scheme of things, for the most part, we got it good. I'm a lucky man and I love how this song reminds me of that.

Drive all Night (Gothenburg) by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band



To my dear friend @estreetneck

You told me that hard times come and hard times go.
And I told you there was a train coming carrying gypsies and gamblers.

I thought I was a fan.
Then you introduced me
To this song on this night.
And it was magic.

And I became a new fan, awash with emotion
over how powerful the performance can be.

Thank you for being the type of fan who shares.
Thank you for being the type of friend who cares.

Lyrics

When I lost you honey sometimes I think I lost my guts too
And I wish God would send me a word
send me something I'm afraid to lose
Lying in the heat of the night like prisoners all our lives
I get shivers down my spine and all I wanna do is hold you tight

CHORUS

I swear I'll drive all night just to buy you some shoes
And to taste your tender charms
And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms

Tonight there's fallen angels and they're waiting for us down in the street
Tonight there's calling strangers,
hear them crying in defeat.
Let them go, let them go, let them go,
do their dances of the dead (let'em go right ahead)
You just dry your eyes girl, and c'mon c'mon
c'mon let's go to bed, baby, baby, baby

CHORUS

There's machines and there's fire waiting on the edge of town
They're out there for hire but baby they can't hurt us now
Cause you've got, you've got, you've got,
you've got my love, you've got my love
Through the wind, through the rain, the snow, the wind, the rain
You've got, you've got my, my love
heart and soul
