(Today I’m leaning towards the top color, in case anyone is interested.)
I’ve got the iPod connected to my work PC, so I’m sitting here streaming tunes through the aforementioned Anapod Explorer. Playing now– the first Dream Academy album, which has the distinction of being the very first CD I ever heard, back in 198— something…
I haven’t posted any lyrics in a while, so I’ve put up the lyrics to one of the songs playing now: “The Edge of Forever.” This song was featured in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, near the end of the movie where Ferris and Sloane are saying goodbye. (Here‘s a site that put together the track listing for an unofficial “soundtrack album.”) Say what you want about John Hughes, he knew how to pick tunes for his movies.
And for all the trying and freeze-framing, we still can’t find Glenn in the parade scene, as he claims to be.

The Edge of Forever
When you were young
Did you ever love somebody
Like I love,
I love you now
‘Cause now that you’re older
I see you don’t mind
Letting go of my hand in a crowd
You don’t want to hold tight.
And when we kiss goodnight
There’s a million hearts
Beating in my room
I wish they would go away.
Ah say it again
There’s a million hearts
That break too soon
Everytime you go away.
When you were young
Did you ever fall down,
Graze your knee
And want to run to someone
‘Cause now that you’re older
I’ve been falling down.
I want to run to someone
But there’s nobody around.
I can hear the sound
There’s a million hearts
Beating in my room
I wish they would go away.
Ah say it again
There’s a million hearts
That break too soon
Every time you go away.
Every time you go away
Think about the things I say
Think about it twice as long
Tell me what’s going wrong.
