Number one in the USA in 1963, and one of the world's best-selling singles of all time, in Japanese! A song about a man who looks up to the sky as he walks so that his tears of sadness will not fall. The song is full of meaning and inspiration.

The Catcher In The Rye
The Catcher in the Rye is a tortuous tale of one boy's experience of life as a teenager, transitioning from innocence to experience. It is an angst-ridden story of alienation and rebellion, loss and connection, sex and depression, authenticity and superficiality. It is in short about a coming of age.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

"Challengers" Movie Review
Challengers is a triumphantly sexy cinematic rollercoaster ride, too incredulously fun not to watch. Tashi Duncan is played by Zendaya, the exceptionally emotive young movie star. Matched against her are two gorgeously nerdy-looking young players, Mike Faist as Art Donaldson and Josh O’Conner as Patrick Zweig. All three have the blessing of great chemistry whenever they spar across screen. Alongside their star qualities are bouncing timelines, demonstrating a lifetime of flagrantly competitive choices that create a trail of wasted potential and misguided lust. Director Luca Guadagnino really knows how to make a graceful yet scandalous picture. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's EDM score intensifies the thrill of tennis and prideful characters up to an eleven. After watching Challengers multiple times, I am forced to argue that all sporting events should henceforth take place at a fist-pumping rave. When first hearing about this movie, I thought the entire plot had been offered up within the two-minute trailer. Two friends like a tennis star. Tennis star has a career-ending injury. Tennis star picks blonde boy, and brunette boy is angry. Audience members think they have digested the full ingredients of the film before getting their soles sticky from the theatre floor. Yet, this new-age masterpiece is anything but a simple meal.

Oh no, I'm so sorry. I accidentally unsubscribed to you but I have subscribed again! That seems like a very emotional song!
Oh wow, I remember this song..more from my parents (I’m an 80s baby). I just never knew what the song was about! Thanks for the informative critique, and boy is it catchy! 😃
