Secretariat A Moment of Eternity
Secretariat tribute - The Chronicle of the Horse
Most of us know the legend of Secretariat, the tall,
handsome chestnut racehorse whose string of honors runs long and rich:
the only two-year-old ever to win Horse of the Year, in 1972; winner in
1973 of the Triple Crown, his times in all three races still
unsurpassed; featured on the cover of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated;
the only horse listed on ESPN’s top fifty athletes of the twentieth
century (ahead of Mickey Mantle). His final race at Toronto’s Woodbine
Racetrack is a touchstone memory for horse lovers everywhere. Yet while
Secretariat will be remembered forever, one man, Eddie “Shorty” Sweat,
who was pivotal to the great horse’s success, has been all but
forgotten---until now.
In The Horse God Built, bestselling equestrian writer Lawrence Scanlan has written a tribute to an exceptional man that is also a backroads journey to a corner of the racing world rarely visited. As a young black man growing up in South Carolina, Eddie Sweat struggled at several occupations before settling on the job he was born for---groom to North America’s finest racehorses. As Secretariat’s groom, loyal friend, and protector, Eddie understood the horse far better than anyone else. A wildly generous man who could read a horse with his eyes, he shared in little of the financial success or glamour of Secretariat’s wins on the track, but won the heart of Big Red with his soft words and relentless devotion.
In Scanlan’s rich narrative, we get a groom’s-eye view of the racing world and the vantage of a man who spent every possible moment with the horse he loved, yet who often basked in the horse’s glory from the sidelines. More than anything else, The Horse God Built is a moving portrait of the powerful bond between human and horse.
Secretariat (March 30, 1970 – October 4, 1989) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse that in 1973 became the first U.S. Triple Crown winner in 25 years. He set race records in all three events in the series – the Kentucky Derby (1:59 2/5), the Preakness Stakes (1:53), and the Belmont Stakes (2:24) – records that still stand today

Pink Floyd-The Gunner's Dream
'Floating down through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
But in the space between the heavens
and the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream.
I had a dream.
Good-bye macs,
Good-bye Ma.
After the service when you're walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream.
A place to stay
"Oi! A real one ..."
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what's more no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no-one kills the children anymore.
And no one kills the children anymore.
Night after night
Going round and round my brain
His dream is driving me insane.
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight.
What's done is done.
We cannot just write off his final scene.
Take heed of the dream.
Take heed.'
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
But in the space between the heavens
and the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream.
I had a dream.

Good-bye Ma.

The Final Cut (occasionally subtitled The Final Cut: A Requiem For The
Post-War Dream by Roger Waters) is the twelfth studio album by English
progressive rock group Pink Floyd. It was released on 21 March 1983 by
Harvest Records in the United Kingdom, and several weeks later by
Columbia Records in the United States. A concept album, The Final Cut is
the last of the band's studio releases to include founding member and
long-time lyricist Roger Waters. It is the only Pink Floyd album on
which Waters alone is credited for the writing and composition of every
song. Most of the lyrics are sung by Waters; lead guitarist David
Gilmour provides vocals on only one of the album's tracks.

Fly On - Coldplay
Flock of birds Hovering above Just a flock of birds That's how you think of love And I always look up to the sky Pray before the dawn Cause they fly always Sometimes they arrive Sometimes they are gone Fly on Flock of birds Hovering above Into smoke I'm turned and rise, following them up Still I always look up to the sky Pray before the dawn Cause they fly away One minute they arrive Next you know they're gone Fly on Fly on, ride through Maybe one day I'll fly next to you Fly on, ride through Maybe one day I can fly with you Fly on
