pudge's Journal: New Year

About this time every year, I am puzzled by why people make such a big deal over the fact that the calendar year increments by one.

So I wrote a song about it. And now I have recorded it. Well, I recorded it before, but it was a crummy demo with the PowerBook mic. So I recorded it anew with GarageBand and stuff. Go listen to it!

Enjoy!

New Year

It's a new year
And it's been a long time
It's been a long time since last year
It's been a whole year

Well, it gets a guy to thinking
About the time that passes by
Lots of time in one year
365 and 1/4 days

And I can't go back
I can't go back to last year
'Coz there's one whole year between us

365 days
Or maybe 366
I can't remember
It's been a long year

12 months
365 days
8,760 hours
525,600 minutes
31,536,000 seconds
It's been a long year

And it's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
It's been a long time since last year
It's been a long year

So...

Why

[daniil]

Why do you celebrate your birthday?

It's the same thing, except that instead of some person's birthday, they celebrate the birth (or rebirth: if i've understood it correctly then the Christians believe that mankind was born again in Jesus Christ; etc) of the whole Universe.

Why do you celebrate your birthday?

If it were up to me, I wouldn't.
