Brokeback Mountain

Last night, while listening to "The Wings," the haunting theme from Brokeback Mountain, I was looking at some pictures of mountains I'd taken. Before I knew it, I was writing words to go with the music to "The Wings." They're not all that good, but they sum up what I know of Brokeback Mountain's story (I read the short story but haven't seen the film yet).

My lyrics to "The Wings" from the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack
Music by Gustavo Santaolalla


Up where the sky looks like heaven
Up where the night lasts all day
Up here where time is forgotten
I spread my wings and fly away

Up where the moon shines like silver
Up where the winds shy away
Up here on Brokeback Mountain
He spreads his wings and flies away

Don't Give up the Race

At the Susan G. Komen "Race for the Cure" in New York City in September 2005, one of the race's participants apparently decided to throw in the towel -- or, in this case, their shoes.
