"Change", by Tears For Fears.
The place where I have worked for the past 13 years is not actually a family, but it can feel like one. Today I found out that a part of that family, someone who has been a part of the reason I still enjoy my job, against the odds, after all that time -- someone who, in fact, has become an important part of my life over the time that we have worked together -- is about to leave.
This song is for him.
Everybody gets a card when they go. Everybody gets a parting gift. Not everybody gets a blog post.
It's comforting, at times like this, to know that there is a place, amongst the infinite number of parallel universes out there, where it is still the 1980s.
And, because it is the 1980s, it must be the extended version.
