Some people, are so full of themselves, they love to hear themselves talk, and they love to read the things they write...

Like all the time.

And you know why?

Because there isn't anything better to watch -- that's why.

[Intro: Chumbawamba]

We'll be singin'

When we're winnin'

[Chorus: Chumbawamba]

I get knocked down, but I get up again

You're never gonna keep me down

He sings the songs that remind him of the better times

Oh, Danny Boy, Danny Boy, Danny Boy


This is a song that played at the credits of Billions TV show

It was an episode that touched me

About a same sex couple who loved each other

But got persecuted, bullied, and driven to tragedy

It also, reminds me of Danny Lewin

Someone, I picture as a "hero" for his bravery

The song's lyrics are about how the spirit of fighting on

How even if you get knocked down

You can get up again

While Lewin sadly was the first casualty of 9/11

To me, he became immortal and saved everyone on AA11

It's hard to explain why I feel that way

But I feel that this happened in the spirit world somehow

I like to think, he got up again, and fought back

And he saved everyone
