Like a comet blazing across the evening skies Gone too soon Like a rainbow fading in the twinkling of an eye Gone too soon Shiny and sparkly And splendidly bright Here one day Gone one night Like the loss of sunlight Like a castle built upon a sandy beach Like a perfect flower That is just beyond your reach Gone just a moon It was fire to delight in a wounded cold night Like a sunset dyed with the rising of the moon

I don't know hoping not getting any tears coming out there Because I I just found that personally to be a beautiful little track and this idea.
I
10:03IanHOST
I don't again I don't know maybe maybe I'm a little bit crazy But I feel like this idea of things that are just there these faint flashes of what once was what could be the flower that's kind of just out of reach, right? And I feel like right now as we're watching as these cathedrals crumble to the ground in front of everybody, right? We're basically watching as that piece of very, very, very recent history.

And we know it because the very people that critique the culture that come from the Jewish supremacists that are put in front of all the big microphones, well, they're going around describing how society is falling apart, how it is decaying, how marriage rates are plummeting, birth rates are plummeting, everything is going down.
I
23:46IanHOST
And yet all of it is in perfect alignment with the very ideals of social Marxism.
I
23:52IanHOST
And then we look at who's behind that, and what do you know? It's the exact same usual suspect every single time, right? And so we need to continue to be able to remember what was, right? We were talking about that idea of things being gone too soon, that cathedral.

I mean, it's unbelievably demoralizing seeing that crash, seeing all the people have to sit there and videotape it as they put it onto the net so that all these other people can say, oh, the horrors of it.

We did have an episode last week about Ryan White.
T
36:19TanikaHOST
We talked about the fact that Michael Jackson wrote a song for him, Gone Too Soon.
T
36:24TanikaHOST
So that's obviously on this album.
T
36:27TanikaHOST
And if you haven't listened to that Ryan White episode, I recommend go over there, take a listen.
Ryan White

Jackson, that's how I heard of the story of why I write.
T
48:24TanikaHOST
Because yes, there's photos of them together, but he also wrote a song for him that was on his Dangerous album released in 91 called Gone Too Soon.
T
48:38TanikaHOST
It's dedicated to Ryan White.
T
48:40TanikaHOST
It's a beautiful song.

White also became the inspiration for a handful of popular songs.
T

Elton John donated proceeds from the last song, love that song, which appears on his album, The One, to a white fund at Raleigh Hospital, as I've just talked about before.
T
61:01TanikaHOST
Michael Jackson dedicated the song Gone Too Soon from his Dangerous album to White, as did 1980s pop star Tiffany with the song Here in My Heart on her new Inside album.

In November 2007, the Children's Museum of Indianapolis opened an exhibit called The Power of Children Making a Difference, which features White's bedroom and belongings alongside similar tributes to Anne Frank and Ruby Bridges.
