We sing along to songs on the radio, we hum them, we whistle, we make up our own words to them, we turn them up, we use them for mood music, but when a song really makes us think, the song and its writer(s) have accomplished something great.
Inside the Rock Era is saluting those songs that, in their own way, helped change the world. For if the song changed one person, it changed the course of history. It is appropriate on this most evil of days to remind everyone that "...Nothing ever came from violence...Nothing ever could." This one is the great song "Fragile" from Sting.
Words and Music by Sting
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are
