This is one of my favourite scenes from one of my favourite movies, where Bob (played Bill Murray) sings Roxy Music’s oldie ‘More Than This’ in a karaoke room. ‘More than\u00a0THIS – there is nothing.’ THIS is\u00a0THIS now. All we have is now.<\/span> Live in the moment – because the future is uncertain and we can’t return to the past. Bob was relishing the moment. A rather Zennish classic song with\u00a0lyrics on the ethereality of life sung by Bob with a touch of reflective melancholy\u00a0that is both funny\u00a0yet moving<\/span>. (Below is the full original song, which has been covered by many other artistes, such as Norah Jones and 10,000 Maniacs.)<\/p>\n

More Than This<\/strong><\/p>\n

I could feel at the time
\nThere was no way of knowing
\nFallen leaves in the night
\nWho can say where they’re blowing
\nAs free as the wind
\nAnd hopefully learning
\nWhy the sea on the tide
\nHas no way of turning<\/p>\n

More than this – there is nothing
\nMore than this – tell me one thing
\nMore than this – there is nothing<\/p>\n

It was fun for a while
\nThere was no way of knowing
\nLike dream in the night
\nWho can say where we’re going
\nNo care in the world
\nMaybe I’m learning
\nWhy the sea on the tide
\nHas no way of turning<\/p>\n

More than this – there is nothing
\nMore than this – tell me one thing
\nMore than this – there is nothing<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
