Threnodies

Been keeping a watchful eye out for what's been happening in Japan. Got me thinking about Threnodies.

thren·o·dy (thrn-d)
n. pl. thren·o·dies
A poem or song of mourning or lamentation.

[Greek thrnidi : thrnos, lament + aoid, id, song; see ode.]

thre·nodi·al (thr-nd-l), thre·nodic (-ndk) adj.
threno·dist n.

Our world is in a pretty crazy way at the moment. And yes, we are in need of songs of hope. But also humanity is in need of some space to sit, think and grieve. Here's a song I would listen to in the space.
