Readers recommend: songs about impermanence | Peter Kimpton

Nothing lasts, but enjoy it while you can by naming songs about brief encounters, emotive mutability or transient times

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."


Rutger Hauer ends his acclaimed performance as the menacing, but also magnificent replicant Roy on a rooftop towards the end of Ridley Scott's Bladerunner. It is a poignant reminder that however brightly or briefly your life has burned, everything must ultimately end.
