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.

I am That,
Thou art That,
All this is That,
and That alone Is.

from the Vedas, noted in The Book (On The Taboo of Knowing Who You Are),
by Alan Watts

***

When you make the two one,
and when you make the inner as the outer
and the outer as the inner
and the above as the below ...
then you shall enter [the Kingdom]....

I am the Light that is above them all,
I am the All,
the All come forth from Me,
and the all attained to Me.

Cleave a [piece of] wood, I am there;
Lift up the stone and you will find me there.

-- attributed to Jesus, in the Coptic Gospel According to Thomas

***

He is never born, nor does he die,
Nor having once been, does he
Cease to be. Unborn, eternal,
Everlasting, ancient,
he is not slain when the body is slain.

Weapons cannot cleave him, nor
Fire burn him; Water cannot
Wet him, nor wind dry him away.

He is eternal,all-pervading,
Stable, immovable, Ever the Same.

He is declared to be
Umanifest,
Unthinkable,
Unchangeable.

-- from the Bhagavad Gita
"Where is the intersection between the world's deep hunger and your deep gladness?"
