"What we long for, we never quite obtain, and yet we keep reaching; and if we have no reason to be sure of the outcome, we cling to our faith that the effort will not go unrewarded. In Holly’s music, there is this knowing trust in the very process of life – a willingness to hope for the best, even when it is unrealistic to expect it. The promise may have failed in the past, but there is still hope that this time, or the next time, the promise will be fulfilled; and so we all think we see a light, though it be but dim and distant. As we listen to Buddy Holly’s songs, they bring us closer to the glow, and the light burns brighter." - John Goldrosen
