Whatsoever I’ve feared has
Come to life
Whatsoever I’ve fought off
Became my life
Just when everyday
Seemed to greet
Me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
And now I’m doing time
Cause I fell on
Black days
Whomsoever I’ve cured
I’ve sickened now
Whomsoever I’ve cradled
I’ve put you down
I’m a search light soul
They say but I can’t
See it in the night
I’m only faking
When I get it right
Cause I fell on
Black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate
So what you wanted to
See good has made you blind
And what you wanted to
Be yours has made it
Mine
So don’t you lock up
Something that you
Wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No not tying
I sure don’t
Mind a change
But I fell on black
Days
How would I know
That this could be
My fate
Simon & Garfunkel:
And the sign said:
“The words of the prophets are
Written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence.”
Rush:
“For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall
Concert hall
And echoes with the sound of salesmen…of salesmen…of salesmen.”

The film was taken in San Francisco in 1906. The earthquake happened in April of that year so this must have been filmed just a few months or weeks before the earthquake.
Pretty neat, Chakra. What a crazy free-for-all it must have been to move through the city streets in those times! I wonder if that was Market Street in SF.
Chester Bennington died today at 41. He was the lead singer of Linkin Park, probably the most famous alternative rock/nu metal band of the 2000s - my favorite band from 2001 to 2004, from age 13 to 16. They were such a release for youth angst. I may have outgrown them awhile ago, but their music meant a lot to me at the time. It’s definitely sad to hear about Chester’s early passing.
