Into the west by Annie Lennox. Peace in the afterlife.

      Death, is something that we all know will eventually snatch us up. Sooner or later it is a reality that we must face. For most death is something that fills their mind with fear, entering the unknown. Or maybe just the ending of something that you have finally begun enjoying.

This song, however, portrays death differently. It sings to our soul about peace. About the rest from anguish. The somber song that speaks to a soul that longs for more than what this life has to offer. Death isn't the end, yes, seperation of body and spirit. But for some, it is the hope of better. The hope of true closeness, of real love, of never ending joy that envelopes your very being.

For some this life is the closest they get to heaven. For others this life is the closest they will get to hell.

                                                                                                                                 

We will all make mistakes, and we will all suffer, all of us will spend time wondering what it is that makes life worth it. But when all is said and done, when you are lying on your death bed, what are you going to be feeling? Fear, and regret? Or hope and rest?
