When I started this blog, my idea was to title my posts after song titles. I’ve gotten away from that for a while, but I want to get back to it today. In fact, today’s post is specifically about the song Page 43 sung by David Crosby & Graham Nash. When I first heard it in high school, it blew me away with its simplicity of sound and message.  It talks about making the most of your life before it’s too late … kind of a recurring theme with me lately. I came across the song again recently and thought I’d share it with you. Have a listen!

words by David Crosby

Graham Nash and David Crosby, circa 1972.

Look around again
It’s the same old circle
You see, it’s got to be
It says right here on page 43
That you should grab a hold of it
Else you’ll find
It’s passed you by

Rainbows all a round
Can you find the silver and gold?
It’ll make you old
The river can be hot or cold
And you should dive right into it
Else you’ll find
It’s passed you by

Pass it ’round one more time
I think I’ll have a swallow of wine
Life is fine
Even with the ups and downs
And you should have a sip of it
Else you’ll find
It’s passed you by

What about you? Have you had a song make a lasting impression on you? I’d love to hear about yours.
