"Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6yUY7M9yfw

When your day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life, well hang on

Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (Hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (Hold on)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life, well hang on

Everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand, oh no

Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
Everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes

So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts

Let's Wipe the Slate Clean

Let's forget about it, let's move on, let's draw a line under it - Tournons la page

1. Years ago, people could go into a grocers or pub etc and buy things "on account".  A record of transactions and money owed was written on a slate.  At that time, the debt was to be cleared on payday and it was always a great day when the debt was paid and the slate wiped clean.  Although slate was eventually replaced by paper or electronic record, the term ‘wiping the slate clean’ still remains in usage in this context.  

2. During Victorian times, young schoolchildren used to write on slate boards made from a piece of quarry slate set in a wooden frame.  A pencil, also made of slate was used to write the letters.  The advantage of slates over paper was that they could be wiped clean and used again and again - very environmentally friendly!  Children had to bring a dampened cloth or sponge to school so that they could wipe their slates clean at the end of the lesson and start again but often they would use their own spit and the cuff of their sleeve! 

3. The third explanation for the expression ‘to wipe the slate clean’ is a nautical one.  The course steered and distances covered by a ship were recorded during each watch on a slate and after they were entered into the official log at the end of a watch, the slate carrying the ongoing recordings was wiped clean ready for the next watch to keep a fresh record.

Avicii - Hey Brother

"Brother / Sister"

 "There's an endless road to rediscover" to go back and realize that the end isn't the end but a beginning.

Hey brother, there’s an endless road to re-discover.
Hey sister, know the water's sweet but blood is thicker.
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.

Hey brother, do you still believe in one another?
Hey sister, do you still believe in love, I wonder?
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.

What if I'm far from home?
Oh, brother I will hear you call.
What if I lose it all?
Oh, sister I will help you out!
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do.
