Recommended Posts

Lots of people on here enjoy music. How about the best first line of a song in your opinion? Funny, sad, serious, opera (you must translate to English), rock, oldies, whatever....  Let’s see what you like?

Sadly this one does too. Foo Fighters  These Days. 

 

One of these days, the ground will drop out from beneath your feet
One of these days, your heart will stop and play its final beat
One of these days, the clocks will stop and time won't mean a thing
One of these days, their bombs will drop and silence everything

“I know a guy that’s got a lot to lose, he’s a pretty nice fella, kinda confused, got muscles in his head that’s never been used, thinks he owns half of this town” - Thats the way that the world goes round, John Prine

 

This could apply to lots of people now-a-days unfortunately...
