The song "Something To Talk About" by Badly Drawn Boy reminds me very much of the story line in Sonny's Blues. The bands sings that "the joy is not the same way without the pain" just as Sonny had said "their is now way not to suffer". In other words happiness wouldn't exist with out suffering. Another part in the song relates to Sonny's Blues when the singer sings, "you've got to let me in or let me out" sort of like when Sonny's brother wants to help him and sometimes he doesn't want him to.
I've been dreaming
Of the things I've learnt
About a boy who's bleeding
celebrate to elevate
The joy is not the same without the pain
Oooh
Ipso facto
Using up your oxygen
You know I'm shallow
Calling out for extra help
You've got to let me in
Or let me out
Oooh something to talk about
Oooh something to talk about
Oooh Oooh Oooh
I've been dreaming
Of the things I learnt
About a boy who's leaving
Nothing else to chance again
You've got to let me in
Or let me out
Oooh something to talk about
Yeah something to talk about
Oooh Oooh Oooh
Last Topic of the Year, due by Sunday, June 7:
Perhaps its time to pick out some favorite memories of Pine Point. Let us know about three (or two, or one, or fifty) of your fond memories of your time at our school. Don't worry about choosing a favorite. Just describe a few good memories. (Feel free to do more than one post as memories come back to you.)
Remember to check the rubrics (to the right). Contributions to the forum can be brief, but must be well thought out and carefully written. No typos or grammar errors, please.
