Just a little random entry, between bouts of code debugging. This song came up, and I always stop and listen to it when I hear it play. There's an inherent… sadness about the song that really gets to me.

On dort les uns contre les autres
On vit les uns avec les autres
On se caresse, on se cajole
On se comprend, on se console
Mais au bout du compte
On se rend compte
Qu'on est toujours tout seul au monde

There are certain songs like that that, for reasons or others, always make me stop and listen. Stevie Ray Vaughan's rendition of Little Wing always brings me a sense of hope. Isobel, by Dido, has made me cry more than once. Dixie, by Harmonium, always makes me chair dance – often to the bewilderment of my coworkers.

Ok, back to work. Just wanted to write that down.
