Standing in the Breach


Jackson Browne has a new album out and it is great.  You won't here it though because he is demographically challenged. That means he doesn't sing about getting drunk, partying and other banter. This collection of songs compares well to the "Running on Empty" album. We were in Starbucks this weekend and they were selling it at the check out.  Starbucks has good taste!

Here is the last lines of the title track:

And though the earth may tremble and the oceans pitch and rise
We will all assemble and we will lift our eyes
To the tasks we know lie before us
And the power our prayers beseech
And cast our souls into the heavens
Atanding in the breach.

You don't know why its such a far cry
From the world this world could be
You don't know why but you still try
For the world you wish to see
You don't know how its going to happen now
After all that's come undone
And you know the world you're waiting for may not come
No, it may not come
But you know the change the world needs now
Is there, in everyone.

Jackson Browne
