I guessed it could be an appropriate single for this blog today as you can hear Mick Jagger singing « DOOM and GLOOM », the latest hit of THE ROLLING STONES who still ROCK!

It’s a short story well appropriate indeed since it talks about a doomed airplane as you can read the lyrics on the video here below:

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
