Analysis Our 2016 and 2017 seasons in two songs

[DelRe]

2016: Queen - Don't stop me now

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world I'll turn it inside out - yeah
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time

2017: Peter Gabriel - Don't give up

in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose

don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good

2016
Rising up from nowhere to be champions



2017
The Champ coming into next battle still having a party and gets floored

Grant Hart, drummer from Husker Du died a day or so ago. He had liver cancer.

After seeing an image of him a few months ago, I was sad but not surprised to hear that news yesterday.

Such as it is. He, Bob Mould and Paul Westerberg are the 3 pillars of my musical taste.

Weird fact. I downloaded his album 'Intolerance' the night before he passed away.
