A thoughtful song for a somber holiday

Because Memorial Day is intended to honor those who have passed away, I won't say, "Happy Memorial Day," tomorrow.  Instead, I think it's best to think about those who have passed on and be thankful for your positive moments with them.  Fleetwood Mac's song, "Dust," captures the finality of death.  It's a Danny Kirwan song on the "Bare Trees" album that isn't usually played on the radio.  It isn't intended to be a concert number that has people on their feet, singing along, "When we are dust, When we are dust..."  Instead, it's a thoughtful, somber song that makes you think about how lucky we are to be here and how fleeting life is.  In honor of Memorial Day and those who are no longer with us, I'll listen to it tomorrow.
