Judge for yourself but we think these are quite possibly the two most beautiful songs about life that have ever surfaced.

Atlas Sound – “Quick Canal” (2008)

I wanted to live the life of a prince

because I thought saints were born saints

so indeed we didn’t stand a chance

insalubrious offshoots of nature

with heart and mind of our own

all the daughters all the sons

taking centuries to unearth the creature

heralding a stage

where consciousness is higher

taken through a costly process

of success and failure

i thought saints were born saints

i looked in the dirt

and found wisdom is learnt

through a costly process

of success and failure

Kansas – “Dust In The Wind” (1978)

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment’s gone

All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity

Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind

Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea

All we do, crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.

Oh________________

Don’t hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky

It slips away, all your money won’t another minute buy

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind (everything is dust in the wind)

Now don’t you feel like you’re floating here….
