Help Me Make It Through the Night

Monument, under Sony. Take the ribbon from your hair. The need is the night, not a life.

Monument released it. Monument's catalog sits with Sony. Kristofferson asks for a body and a night and declines the larger argument. The declining is the honest part and the poor part. A house can hear a lonely man without adopting his terms.

If the night is hard, stay with the person. Do not take the verse that throws out right and wrong.

The eight

  1. Industry

    7/10

    A small song that does not pretend to be a vow.

  2. Household

    4/10

    Company, not a household. He says so.

  3. Piety

    3/10

    I don't care what's right or wrong. That line is the problem.

  4. Courage

    5/10

    He admits the loneliness.

  5. Republic

    3/10

    Two people, till morning.

  6. Temperance

    3/10

    The limit is refused out loud.

  7. Truth

    7/10

    He does not dress the night up as a marriage.

  8. Stewardship

    4/10

    An honest smallness. Not a rule for the house.

Live historicallyIf someone is only asking to be gotten through the night, ask what they need in the morning too.

Columbia · Sony Music Entertainment

As It Was

Columbia, under Sony. The melody smiles. The house in the lyric is empty.

Columbia put it out. Sony owns Columbia. People danced to a song about a life that used to have someone in it. The dancing is why it traveled. The sentence is that it is not that way anymore.

A house can hear the loss. It should not learn from the shrug.

The eight

  1. Industry

    7/10

    Pop written with a light hand, and the hand is trained.

  2. Household

    4/10

    A father and a child flicker in it. They do not sit down.

  3. Piety

    3/10

    Nostalgia, not reverence.

  4. Courage

    4/10

    He admits the change. He does not resist it.

  5. Republic

    3/10

    A private drift. No neighbor.

  6. Temperance

    5/10

    Sad, and not a binge.

  7. Truth

    6/10

    He does not pretend the old room is still there.

  8. Stewardship

    4/10

    A mood. Not a way back.

Live historicallyIf it is on while people are actually home, ask what 'as it was' refers to in this house, and whether anyone is going back to it.
