The idea is to fill Facebook with music. If you press like, I will give you a letter and you have to find a band or artist that starts with this letter. Then you have to post one of their songs on your timeline with this text. Hooked into this, and without my ipod no less! With F my options were limited, but this gives some insight into my thought-life a bit, as Im currently writing about something very related. This is a lament for the death of Richard the Lionheart, King of England, Duke of Normandy, Duke of Aquitane and Lord of Cyprus. A wonderful recording. Lyrics below. -------- It is a a cruel thing that it behoves me to sing of the great hurt and the greatest pain which I have ever felt and which I must forever lament with tears, for he who was the head and the father of worth, the powerful, valiant Richard, king of the English, is dead - Ah! Lord, what harm and loss is here! What strange words, so cruel to hear! Any man who can bear it has a hard heart indeed. Ah! Lord God, you who are the true pardon, true God, true man, true lifter, be merciful! Pardon him, for he is in want and need, and do not, Lord, look at his faults, and remember how he went to serve you. The king is dead and a thousand years have passed since such a worthy man existed or since one was seen, and never will there be any man of his kind, so munificent, so lordly, so bold, so generous that I do not believe that Alexander, the king who vanquished Darius, ever gave or spent as much as he, and Charlemagne and Arthur never had more worth, for, to tell the truth, throughouy the world, he made himself more feared by some and loved by others.
