Rock Lullaby for a Distressed World

Performed by the Eagles, written by Glenn Frey and Don Henley, the song has its own Wikipedia entry. A distracted listener can easily read it as being about an absent lover. The occasion of its composition is about loss of a different kind and its tenderness beseeches us all to repair …

There's a hole in the world tonight
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow
There's a hole in the world tonight
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow
A suitable anthem for our perforated times. Feel the hurt. Heal the pain.

And so for day 2002
