I met a girl who sang the Blues, and I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store where I’d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play
And in the streets, the children screamed, the lover’s cried, and
The poets dreamed, but…
Not a word was spoken - the church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most: the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The Day the music died
Dior, Fall 2013 Ready to Wear
"I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself."
- “Self-Pity” by D.H. Lawrence
