Back in the day (to show me age possibly) prozac was thee designer happy drug - Elizabeth Wurtzel had written Prozac Nation it was thee happy drug cure all. Didn't resolve anything but numbed the pain manufactured the happy or at least the numb. It was perfectly fitting & apt

 I er kinda like this lyric too.....the image in my head is of a fox ever curious and wild suddenly stopped and taken by surprise just staring unable to remember....for me personally I like that image....but in my bizarre head I do have foxes mixed in with Ted Hughes The Thought Fox
I don't like Royal Correspondent though

'I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.' (from Sea Fever - John Masefield)

That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all" - Emily Dickinson
