More From Henry Rollins

That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. you can do a very eclectic group of songs. you do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. you have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.
Country Song Eclectic Style
You have your wonderful memories," people said later, as if memories were solace. memories are not. memories are by definition of times past, things gone. memories are the westlake uniforms in the closet, the faded and cracked photographs, the invitations to the weddings of the people who are no longer married, the mass cards from the funerals of the people whose faces you no longer remember. memories are what you no longer want to remember.
Memories Past People
Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core. rome'll decline and fall again, cortés'll lay tenochtitlán to waste again, and later, ewing will sail again, adrian'll be blown to pieces again, you and i'll sleep under the corsican stars again, i'll come to bruges again, fall in and out of love with eva again, you'll read this letter again, the sun'll grow cold again. nietzsche's gramophone record. when it ends, the old one plays it again, for an eternity of eternities.

The ganga, especially, is the river of india, beloved of her people, round which are intertwined her memories, her hopes and fears, her songs of triumph, her victories and her defeats. she has been a symbol of india's age-long culture and civilization, ever changing, ever flowing, and yet ever the same ganga.

Come, and see the victories of the cross. christ's wounds are thy healings, his agonies thy repose, his conflicts thy conquests, his groans thy songs, his pains thine ease, his shame thy glory, his death thy life, his sufferings thy salvation.
Song Pain Healing
My friends: music is the language of spirits. its melody is like the frolicsome breeze that makes the strings quiver with love. when the gentle fingers of music knock at the door of our feelings, they awaken memories that have long lain hidden in the depths of the past. the sad strains of music bring us mournful recollections; and her quiet strains bring us joyful memories. the sound of strings makes us weep at the departure of a dear one, or makes us smile at the peace god has bestowed upon us.

That is, jack thought, the way of life. the horror changes us, because we can never forget. cursed with memory. it starts when we're old enough to know what death is and realize that sooner or later we'll lose everyone we love. we're never the same. but somehow we're all right. we go on.
