in a world of cliches
and beaten defeated roads
you defied the rules
you challenged the gods
on a comet's tail
you streaked across the sky
and crossed all the frontiers
did you know
did you see then
all that fame and fortune
did you dream then
your own deaths too
when you invoked the magic
with your words and melodies
when heaven and earth was set ablaze
and the jealous gods raged
in a flash, in a blink
darkness descended
faiths were betrayed
and dreams were stolen
the songs' over
the fires have died
all's gone, gone too soon
requiescat in pace

What a depressing post zypsy.
Lets not also forget Michael Hutchence, Australias lead singer of the great band INXS who commited suicide back in 1997, being 37 years of age.
i agree, but they're awe-inspiring musicians. i love their songs/music and have always wanted to write something about them.
like inxs too, my fav is "never tear us apart"
It is not depressing.
I am scared to reach 27 now. :-)
Ha ha Arunia !
My favourite from INXS has got to be the songs from the 'Shaboo Shabah' album. One song in particular which springs to mind is 'Black and White'.
Well done.
