Jazz Singer John Hendricks has interpreted the lyrics to the breathtaking standard "Dancing in the Dark," by Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz, as a description of an NDE.
We're dancing in the dark Till the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and gone
Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark
Of course, Dean Martin sang it this way:
We're dancing in the dark
'til the bill's paid ...
The law does not allow for the copyrighting of titles. Accordingly, for a century American songwriters have respected each other's work by voluntarily refraining from stealing titles. It is all about honor and respect.
Not all so-called songwriters, however, are honorable and respectful.
For example: Bruce Springsteen, due to "his" "Dancing in the Dark," now races to mind.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
