Topic: Things Do Change

Here I am sitting around an imaginary campfire with my chordie mates and their guitars trying to reel in the years past. As part of a musical game I throw this question out into the cybersphere.

Does anyone know what song a one hit wonder these lyrics come from below?? The title of this song  year is very near. How would they write this song this year .?????

Now it's been ten thousand years

Man has cried a billion tears

For what he never knew

Now man's reign is through

But through the eternal night

The twinkling of starlight

So very far away

Maybe it's only yesterday

Re: Things Do Change

Eb Looking at the lyrics originally, I thought it was more pessimistic. But I just read them again and it's coming across as what if which could be sort of optimistic in their world view of the future.  A tough song for me to analyze and figure out what it really is all about. Then again reading about in the media about meat being produced in a lab maybe they got some of it right. Artificial intelligence coming in and all those sorts of things happening now that to me have a real bad side.
