Easter Parade

The Easter parade is an American cultural event consisting of a festive strolling procession on Easter Sunday. Typically, it is a somewhat informal and unorganized event, with or without religious significance. Persons participating in an Easter parade traditionally dress in new and fashionable clothing, particularly ladies' hats, and strive to impress others with their finery. The Easter parade is most closely associated with Fifth Avenue in New York City, but Easter parades are held in many other cities. Starting as a spontaneous event in the 1870s, the New York parade became increasingly popular into the mid-20th century.

One Republic_All The Right Moves

"All the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
They've got all the right moves in all the right faces
So yeah, we're going down"
...
"Do you think I'm special?
Do you think I'm nice?
Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?"

Pearl Jam_Given To Fly


"Wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw,
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now..."
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor"
...
"a human being that was given to fly"

One day I heard these songs and I loved them. And I don't loved just the music, I loved the lyrics too.
Watch this and enjoy.
