# Hello friends and family!

It's time for a new nowplaying post! We are approaching Christmas with huge steps, and I always get a bit melancholy around the time ... I think a lot of people get this feeling. I'm not depressed or anything, just slightly more thoughtful. I have lost many people in the winter time, and there are certain days I want to forget and skip very quickly. On to our song today! My parents have contributed a significant amount to my today's very diverse musical taste. They always loved listening to records on our record player in the living room. Rock, pop, jazz and also blues, we had so much fun! So I sat in front of this record player for days, always scared I would scratch one of my parent's precious records. One song I've remembered is "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas from 1977. A rather untypical rock ballad for them. But one of those incredibly meaningful and wonderful songs. Yes, I feel like a speck of dust in the wind sometimes - completely irrelevant in this huge cosmos. Well, nothing is forever. Everything has a certain "expiration date." Live your life, here and now, make mistakes and learn from them. Or don't. Life goes by in a blink of an eye. # Kansas- Dust in the Wind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH2w6Oxx0kQ # Lyrics: *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* *Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy* *Dust in the wind, all we are is 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 (the wind)*
