There are songs that remind me life is transient and disposed to stopping when we least expect or want it to.
Sounds depressing, but it is very liberating. When you understand that to have life you must have death, it clarifies your thinking and allows you to make decisions in the moment.
Shooting Star was a band in the 1970s from Missouri. I have no idea if they have other songs that achieved any popularity, but Last Chance is the one I know.
Pay not attention to the story about the aliens or whatever, but focus on the words last chance. There are many metaphors in the song demonstrating the abruptness of life; the timidness in which some people choose to move.
Don’t let this happen to you. It would be silly to dwell on the transient nature of life, but keep it in mind when you make decisions.
