It's all gonna break.

"It's All Gonna Break" is one of my absolute favorite songs. It's by Broken Social Scene. The lyrics are kind of explicit, but in a good way, because they're raw and they're real. Guess what? Real people yell and scream and curse. And as this wonderful song says, "There is no lie to save your life."

And now, in honor of Alan, I post here the spoken word portion of "Have you passed through this night?" by Explosions in the Sky:

This great evil - where's it come from?
How'd it steal into the world?
What seed, what root did it grow from?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us, robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we mighta known?
Does our ruin benefit the earth, aid the grass to grow and the sun to shine?
Is this darkness in you, too?
Have you passed through this night?

Peace,
Sam
