This song... seemingly forever, because it's always so very thematic at the end and beginning of each year... Everything's just so cyclical that way, and just so in need of this song.
And in more recent times, matching it with some image that speaks something of the same.
But I just have to, because I don't know what I would do without certain things like music, art and photography, and hope, and believing yet again and again, year after year...
Sometimes, it's really a matter of survival. But we do what we gotta do.

A Long December ~ Counting Crows
A long December and there's reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin' Now the days go by so fast
And it's one more day up in the canyons And it's one more night in Hollywood If you think that I could be forgiven I wish you would
The smell of hospitals in winter And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls All at once you look across a crowded room To see the way that light attaches to a girl
And it's one more day up in the canyons And it's one more night in Hollywood If you think you might come to California I think you should
Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m. And talked a little while about the year I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower, Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself To hold on to these moments as they pass
And it's one more day up in the canyon And it's one more night in Hollywood It's been so long since I've seen the ocean I guess I should
