I did not know that. It is one of my favourite you tube videos of BBM ,Someone had done a video montage of BBM and set it totime in a bottle.It seemed so extraorinarily appropriate,I saved it,then downloade the song onto my MP3 player as it was scarily accurate for my life as well.It is sad to think he dies young. The song will resonate even more deeply with me now.

I remember when Jim Croce Died. My Mamma cried and we listened to his records all day.
I think when I was that age my favorite songs were Rapid Roy and Ya Don't Mess around with Jim.
I think Time In Bottle is a very appropriate BBM song.
It's amazing how many songs do fit.
I guess heartache, regret and missed opportunities are universal themes.

Yes, it is a pity. Seems like it's all part of the human condition.
This song reminds me of the boys for some reason and the topics we have been discussing in this thread.
See what Y'all think
These are the days
Sugarland
It's written on our palms and
It's written on our hearts
It's written in our songs and
It's written in the stars
Sometimes all we can do
Is stand up tall
When they're standing in line
Just to watch us fall
Chorus:
Whoa
We can't forget, these are the days
Whoa, don't be afraid
We can't forget, these are the days
Well, we got each other and that's all we need
From here on out it's just you and me
Two hometown hearts up against the world
That don't stand a chance against these boys
We faced 'em down, fought bigger fights
And I know babe we're gonna be alright
Whoa
We can't forget, these are the days
Whoa, don't be afraid
We can't forget, these are the days
Well, it feels like we're living from pay check to check
And we wake up wondering what might happen next
Yeah, someitmes it feels like we won't make it through
But the hard times pass
Like the good ones do
Baby wrap your fingers and
Hold on tight
I'll be right here beside you tonight
Baby climb up here
Watch the city glow
Let's make a wish on the fireworks below
We're making moments that we won't forget
And feeling ones that haven't happened yet
Whoa
Don't be afraid
We can't forget these are the days

I do think they suit our boys very well.
I have to admit to not knowing the song,but I will look it up.
There is a Queen track which I love and some of the lyrics are crucifyingly appropriate,It is a beautiful song anyway and Freddie Mercury has one of the best voices of all time IMO.
It is interesting to me how many gay men are simply breathtaking artists of one sort or another,George Michael, Freddie of course,Elton John,our very own Artiste!!! Plus some pretty well known English actors.All those gay bashers should open their tiny little minds for just a split second and consider our world without so many of these wonderful people.I could go on and on with the list . Sir Ian McKellan(actor) Frederick Ashton ballet director.On and on but I am straying off topic here.
If you don't know this song,please give your ears a treat,it is heartbreaking though so be prepared to shed a tear.
WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER.
There's no time for us
there's no place for us
what is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us
who wants to live for ever
who wants to live for ever
there's no chance for us,
it's all decided for us
this world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
who wants to live for ever
who wants to live for ever
who dares to love for ever
oh when love must die
but touch my tears with your lips
touch my world with your finger tips
and we can have for ever
and we can love for ever,
forever is our today
who wants to live for ever
who wants to live for ever
forever is our today
Who waits for ever anyway.
Jack and Ennis had their one sweet moment on BBM and it was all decided for them, by Ennis's crippling fear and the worlds prejudice.But I do think they loved forever in each others hearts.
