Yes, brilliant imagery ties the message of this fine poem tightly, the record, the groove, the unending song forever sung.

Keen images support this universal message well. Indeed "fate (or Providence) travels steadfastly on the path ‘til one's song runs out. Well said. r

Another great allegory comparing the recording of the phonograph record with a life. History laying down the grooves that resonate the truth that finally, and always, comes to an end.

I've been watching Finding Your Roots on CBS with Henry Louis Gates Jr. where he traces the ancestry of celebrities. Although much of the information found is from sparse, sketchy record, hidden family secrets are often revealed that were never talked about. With today's social media and recording of almost everything of everyone's lives, much more is known about us than we ever realize and recorded for future generations to ponder.
