Share a song that perfectly captures longing.
Yes, I'm aware.
But, there is a correct answer to this prompt, and while the songwriter's less-than-savoury politics and constant whinging that everyone is against him do nothing for his legacy, the fact is that the songs remain beyond reproach. And they don't belong to just him anymore... not exclusively, anyway.
Their ours now, and to the extent that we've given them a home within the protective walls of our own lives, they are out of anyone's reach... they hold our longings now.
So, may we—all of us—please, please, please get what what we want.
"Lord knows it would be the first time."
