“Chenkaladikkum Munpe” Malayalam folk song.
Tomorrow, the same song played by a rock music band.
Where did the night go? - Gil Scott-Heron
My feet against the gutter’s curb while from
The building above a bunch of gawkers perched
Along its ledges urged me don’t, don’t jump.
mysteriously burnt down they
stirred the fortuneteller’s ashes
to try and find the reason why
but sadly it seems prophecy
does not work in reversus
(…) we are utterly preoccupied with deciding what the sentences we read and hear MEAN to us. Even more than that, we are preoccupied with deciding whether WE agree or disagree with what we take the sentences to mean, whether WE approve or disapprove. And, because we are so preoccupied. we generally do not pause to take note of what the sentences we read actually SAY. This rush to interpretation and judgment is strongly encouraged by most of our educational practices.

There are things
I have done
There’s a place
I have gone
There’s a beast
And I let it run
Now it’s running …
My way
There are things
I regret
To can’t forgive
You can’t forget
There’s a gift
That you sent
You sent it …
My way
(Chorus)
So take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I’m not forgiven
But I need a place to sleep
So take this night
And lay me down on the street
I know I’m not forgiven
But I hope that I’ll be given …
Some peace
There’s a game
That I play
There are rules
I had to break
There’s mistakes
That I made
But I made them …
My way
(Chorus)
So take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I’m not forgiven
But I need a place to sleep
So take this night
And lay me down on the street
I know I’m not forgiven
But I hope that I’ll be given …
Some peace …
Some peace …
Some peace

If you find the animated transition between Spaces on OS X unnecessary, you can switch it off like so:
defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-swoosh-animation-off -bool YES && killall Dock
To revert the change, swap that YES for a NO.
“So now I know that there’s another life in my body that can’t outlive me but can kill me, it’s the perfect moment to gratefully acknowledge that I’m a product of a cosmic design? Who thinks up these arguments? Actually it’s an insulting question: ‘I hear you’re dying. Well wouldn’t it be a good time to get rid of your beliefs?’ Try it on them and see how they would like it. ‘Christian, right? Cancer of the tits?’ ‘Well, yes, since you ask.’ ‘Well, can I suggest you now drop all that tripe?’” from Guardian
