Hymn to Breaking Strain - Julia Ecklar & Leslie Fish

[RedwoodTheElf]

Moar Kipplefish please! (Song of the Red War boat maybe?)

[RichMatarese]

@RedwoodTheElf - Another vote for the Song of the Red War Boat."

"Shove off from the wharf-edge, steady! / Watch for a smooth, give way / If she feels the rough already / She'll stand on her head in the bay! / But we hold with all disaster / Of shipwreck, storm or sword / A man must stand with his master / When once he has pledged his word."

Or so I remember from years of singing that damned song.

[Aquaman1054]

@RichMatarese Song of the Red War Boat may be my favourite Leslie Fish song, but right now Hymn to Breaking Strain is still strong in my mind. It was nice to hear this. Thank you for posting.

Because of Julia.

"There are five things we cannot change: 1) everything changes and ends, 2) things do not always go according to plan, 3) justice is not guaranteed, 4) pain is a part of life, and 5) people are not loving or loyal all the time." -- David Richo

This is why there are no written lists of tolerances for the human machine, why we are destined to suffer and break and fail -- and why, if we accept this reality, we are able to survive and find peace anyway.

@doctorpsycho1960 rhico was a bleeding heart optomist. On every point...for instance. The ending is just the begining viewed the wrong way. The only thing you can count on is that there are no guarantees and that all incoming has the right of way.

[doctorpsycho1960]

@GrigoriZhukov Funny, your aphorisms just sound like correlaries to Richo's, though you seem to think they contradict his.

[GrigoriZhukov]

@doctorpsycho1960 Not really...realize my great great uncle finnegan often said "that beedin' murphy, always the optomist.

Build anew - rise up and build anew.

This could be Haiti's new national slogan.

They sure as heck suffered and died under those buckled girders

The lyrics are, of course, Rudyard Kipling.

[doctorpsycho1960]

@puffin02 And damn good lyrics they are. Brother Kipling knew a thing or two.

[Bowfin567]

Thanks for posting this. That's some righteous guitar.

[doctorpsycho1960]

And it does hurt so much to break, and to bend. It hurts so Godawful much.

[doctorpsycho1960]

But you just have to get back up and build anew.

[discaimer]

Rise up and build a gnu?

[doctorpsycho1960]

Better to build a gnu, with hooves and horns and a sharp little bovine brain, than to remain a soft and feeble milk cow.
