sorry for spam posting about the day the music died 65 years ago-
It's so strange to think about. They were so young in life and their careers, they could have done so much more and yet nothing would be the same if they did. Their absence changed things, and we're left wondering if things could have been better if they never got on that plane

Ha sido un invierno largo o una caída repentina 🌧️
Hielo en el parabrisas, y te dejaste el cabello largo...
Estoy perdido en un lanzamiento de moneda, en una tirada de dados ¿No es así como murió Ritchie Valens?
Ha sido una noche larga y ya he tenido suficiente
Oh, pequeña paloma “si vas a ir, ve hasta el final”
Es difícil dejar de recordar, siempre trato de olvidar
El mañana es algo que aún no ha sucedido todavía.
¿Hacia donde va esto? No tiene sentido
Rechino los dientes, sueño demasiado y estoy tenso.
Cuando el reloj marca las once, tu alma irá al cielo
Dile a todos los que has conocido que todavía los amas
Y flota allí durante horas, todo bañado en flores...
