From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wherever_You_Will_Go:
| "Wherever You Will Go" is the title of a song written and
recorded by American
alternative rock band
The Calling. It was released in June 2001 as the first single of
their debut album
Camino Palmero. It remains their most renowned and their most
successful hit, peaking at number 5 on the
Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Adult Top 40 for 23 weeks, setting
a record for that chart behind
Santana's hit song "Smooth"
(lead singer
Alex
Band would later collaborate with Santana on an alternate version of
that band's song "Why
Don't You & I"). Songwriter Aaron Kamin told LAUNCH about the background behind the song. "My cousin passed away, and he and his wife had been married for 50 some-odd years, and I was just putting myself in his shoes. Like, losing somebody after, like, 50 years," Kamin said. He went on to refer to the September 11 attacks that occurred only a few months after the song's release and said that the song has "become more relevant in our lives as the world has changed recently. It's been rekindled even more so for us, I think, right about now..."[1] |

NC - 01/29/14 - "Reflections of Your Life":
| Photographer Tom Hussey created a
series of pictures that will speak to you, no matter your age, race,
beliefs or occupation. The Reflection photos illustrate just how much we change in our lives and how it seems to happen all at once, no matter how many years actually go by. These will grip your soul. Reflection gives insight into the former lives of these senior citizens.
Thanks so much for
sharing these poignant images, Dools!

From George Helliesen ('61) of MI -
01/29/14 - "The Silence...":
|
The Silence
About six miles from Maastricht. in the Netherlands lie buried 8,301
American soldiers who died in "Operation Market Garden" in the battles
to liberate Holland in the fall and winter of 1944-5. Everyone of the
men buried in the cemetery, as well as those in the Canadian and British
military cemeteries has been adopted by a Dutch family who mind the
grave, decorate, and keep alive the memory of the soldier they have
adopted. It is even the custom to keep a portrait of "their" American
soldier in a place of honor in their home. Annually on "Liberation Day"
Memorial Services are held for "the men who died to liberate Holland."
The day concludes with a concert. The final piece is always "IL Silenzio",
a memorial piece commissioned by the Dutch and first played in 1965 on
the 20th anniversary of Holland's liberation. It has been the concluding
piece of the memorial concert ever since.
Thank you so much, George!

Recorded by The Calling, 2001
So lately, I've
been wonderin'
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own
[Chorus:]
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
And maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
Well I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you
[Chorus]
Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love
I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time
[Chorus]
If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
