Songs For Passing the 4,000 Mark

in the fall of 2004 i put together this mix to help deal with the melancholy and helplessness i was feeling. i called it:

Songs For Passing the 1,000 Mark
-or-
Reelection Blues

i've found myself listening to it lately. it's hard to believe it still fits, and goes like this:

1. John Fogerty – “Déjà vu (All Over Again)"
2. The Beatles – “Revolution 1”
3. Rage Against the Machine – “Killing In the Name”
4. Eminem – “Mosh”
5. Steve Earle – “Rich Man’s War”
6. John Prine – “Your Flag Decal Won’t Get You Into Heaven Anymore"
7. John Fogerty – “Who’ll Stop the Rain”
8. Greenday – “American Idiot”
9. Joni Mitchell – “Beat of Black Wings”
10. Ratdog – “Masters of War”
11. Bob Marley & the Wailers – “Get Up Stand Up”

Your list reminded me of a Billy Ray Cyrus song called "Song Gave All" - here are the lyrics:


I knew a man, called him Sandy Cane
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero, yes was he
Left a boy, came back a man
Still many just don't understand
About the reasons we are free
I can't forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cried
As he said these words to me

All Gave Some, Some Gave All
Some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some Gave All

Now Sandy Cane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo throughout our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood their ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man
Love your country and live with pride
And don't forget those who died
America can't you see?

All Gave Some, Some Gave All
Some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some Gave All

And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Yes recall
Some Gave All
Some Gave All
