Introduction

I was listening to Bob Dylan at Budokan, and "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" came on, and I thought, that is the way we all eventually disappear, although hopefully we will be remembered, and I also thought that would be a good concept for the Vocal challenge.

This will just be a series of quatrains rather than a formal structure, but as it mentions many who have left us, I suppose it is an Elegy.
