Today is Sunday, the 22nd of November 2020.
I sense changes coming, changes in terms. I sense the start of a countdown. I see lights on the horizon. Be prepared. Read the signs. Read the signs.
A lot of sensing and reading and feeling and foreseeing this last day of the last weekend before the advent time. Await the shining light ...
And now after all this, today's song does not fit, does not match with all of this. At least that is what I presume.

"Elvis In Bromford"
I didn't take a suitcase
I had to travel light
I climbed out my bedroom window
It was just about quarter past midnight
Out on the highway
I hitched a ride
I was heading west
I had to listen to some trucker
Tell me all about the meaning of life
Got a ride just outside of Memphis
I was wild out on the road
I saw shanties and shacks
And burned out Cadillac's
And faces that glittered like gold
Shoulda seen it coming
Shoulda seen the signs
I saw seven horses running
I had a front row seat at the end of time
I was just fifteen
And the world was mine
And I watched my dreams
Come to life on that night
I saw Elvis in Bromford
I saw Elvis in Bromford
Now since that long lost summer
I ain't ever looked back
Now the lines on my face
Are looking more like cracks
When the dreams all crumble
It's time to face the facts
I don't care about tomorrow
Oh there's no looking back
I shoulda seen it coming
Oh I shoulda seen the signs
I saw seven horses running
I had a front row seat at the end of time
I was just fifteen
And the world was mine
And I watched my dreams
Come to life on that night
I was standing tall
Thought I would never die
And I watched it all
In the white spot light
I saw Elvis in Bromford
I saw Elvis in Bromford
I saw Elvis in Bromford
I saw Elvis in Bromford
I shoulda seen it coming
Oh I shoulda seen the signs
I saw seven horses running
I had a front row seat at the end of time
When the lights went out
I heard the young girls scream
The sound of my heart beat
My heart beat
Would make the thunder proud
Well I was just fifteen
And the world was mine
The wolrd was mine
And I watched my dreams
Come to life on that night
Well I was standing tall
I was standing tall
Thought I would never die
I would never die
And I watched it all
In the white spot light
I saw Elvis in Bromford
I saw Elvis in Bromford
I saw Elvis in Bromford
I saw Elvis in Bromford
I saw Elvis in Bromford
I saw Elvis in Bromford
Oh I saw Elvis in Bromford
I had to travel light
I climbed out my bedroom window
It was just about quarter past midnight

And burned out Cadillac's
And faces that glittered like gold
Shoulda seen it coming

Oh I saw Elvis in Bromford
But maybe it matches all too well and everything is still connected ...
