“Turn them on, turn them on,
Turn on those sad songs.
When all hope is gone,
Why don't you tune in and turn them on?They reach into your room,
Just feel their gentle touch.
When all hope is gone,
Sad songs say so much.”

Elton John (1947) English rock singer-songwriter, composer and pianist

If I don't stop to think
The red golden leaves
Scream the song of the sun
The high rolling hills
Give it all in the fall
The hot days are gone... now”

Quoted in Alec Guinness, Journals, February 1988. [Guinness: " John's grasp of public events was always rather tenuous. His heart however, was in the right place. [This remark] - he was pointing to the barrage balloons tethered over London."]
