Lady

This is a very special song for me, and definitely belongs in the soundtrack.

"Lady" was written by the talented Lionel Ritchie and performed by Mr. Kenny Rogers.

The Candle

"Turned inward, turned upon himself, brutally cut off from the light side of the Force, he husbanded his flame. Drew upon the lessons of every Jedi who had taught him...

He saw himself a candle. He saw himself behind a wall. Brick by brick he tried to raise it. Brick by brick it was destroyed...

But fear leads to anger, and anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering. Which means the dark side wins. So he husbanded his flame. Brick by brick he built his wall. Because the alternative was surrender.

And no one ever taught him that."
