  Much as I like BOC, I can't help remembering that this was part of the theme tune / supporting music for Stephen Kings movie, The Stand...

  Dammed good sounds....

  Cheers GM !!

  Let's hope the reaper delays, he probably won't be late.

  Greenmac, you are, as always, right on time...

  Ok, teranchick, asked where I was.... Here I am.... work is very busy right now since all the rally's for the up and coming elections.

  Ok, great tune, wonderfull band. Dharma is only 4'11" or 5' don't really remember. I remember saying damn he is short when he walked past me and two friends when we were backstage.

  There are so many songs I like from this band, there is no room for one post. Still one of the best tunes of theirs, was featured in the movie Heavy Metal.

  Now though, BOC has put out some great tunes during their career. Nothing stands out more than this song. This song is recoginised by everyone all over the world. The theme song to the most powerfull creature brought about by the folly by man.

  And this song, you have to read between the lines. And if you understand what it is saying. You will understand that it is not a nice thing, that the song is about.

  Great song. They also have a youtube video for Burning to You (name?), another good one by them, but they look a little dorky. I think one of the guys is Howard Stern's cousin.

  As the cops approached my house with a warrant, she said we should kill ourselves. At that time this song came on the radio and she said it was a sign. I told her that there was no way I could do that. After much pleading on her part, and as tears ran down her face, she said goodbye and tried to commit suicide. The police came through the door and were able to stop her. They then took her away and she became committed to the state. We have never spoken again.

  I'm not sure why I decided to share this. It was a lifetime ago. Perhaps it's the fact that this song will always remind me of her. I hope she too has found peace and loves life as much as myself.

  Thanks GreenMac, this was a great submit.
