Bonnie "Prince" Billy - "I See a Darkness" (2012 version)
To all the weary walkers, the ditch sleepers, the merry gamboleers, the mummers, the net-menders, the late starters, the rutted and stuck; to the tramp steamers, the bindle-stiffs, rascals, rapscallions, and rogues; to the tree-planters, bicycle couriers, booksellers, cinema ushers cleaning popcorn bags; to the rats, pigeons, ants, and mice; to the seine fishers, oyster shuckers, berry pickers, and mushroom hunters: A reminder. This is the time of year when the days get longer again, when fortunes change, when the shadows begin to shrink. If the short days can grow long (and if a sad song can be made into a sunny sing-along), then there just might be hope for all of us, bedraggled and burdened at the end of another year.
