World In Decline (lyrics) Drunken angels learn to swim while the matador does his serpent thing and the tired old cowboy just rides off into the sun. Armchair heroes clap their hands for the ballerinas as they take the stand in defense of what they should have or could have done. Big man buys the beer, dangles keys and his career. Talks God from a pick-up truck, he loves to talk, he smokes too much, but hey, everything’s just fine in a world in decline.
Cartoon saviors raise their fists while their animators rub their worn-out wrists. Then one by one they whisper in the hall. Paparazzi point their guns on the self-appointed chosen ones while the dreamer throws his vision to the dogs. Small boy buys the fear, sells us hope like souvenirs. Walks tall with a Midas crutch, he hates the things he loves to touch, but hey, everything’s on time in a world in decline.
And if you wait for me, who waits for you, ‘cause I don’t climb when I’m this low. You pray for me, I’ll pray for you, ‘cause I’m behind and I don’t know . . .
Politicians wave their flags while the unsuspecting grab their rags to polish what is left of what was true. Itsy, bitsy big machines make it easy for the dragon queens while the allocators laugh at me and you, and you, and you. Brave world, so sincere. Pave the way, what’s new this year. All rise to the ways and means where dirty hands keep conscience clean, but hey, everything’s online in a world . . . and hey, everything’s on time in a world . . . and hey, everything’s just fine in a world in decline.

There is something to be said for being able to truly listen to what's going on around you, as opposed to simply 'hearing' what someone else is saying! We enjoyed talking about this topic and hope you'll like 'listening' to it!

Movies, we all love them, we all watch them, especially during these times. But how many of us really understand how the music behind the movies we love moves the story forward without us even knowing it? This week, we all talk about our favorite music in film. Why it moves us. And how the film industry's usage of music has changed over the years. While discussing the recent biopic of Queen, we even get to hear a personal story of Carl's on how the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" came to be. Featured music this week, appropriately, will be assorted excerpts from scores that have been featured in movies over the years!
