Cover art for These Days Are Numbered  lyrics by Head and the Heart, The

This song says that we need to strengthen our personal relationships and take comfort in those we love while we still can. These days are numbered. Stop complaining about everything ("we all complain if it rains or it shines"); just enjoy life and take it all in ("we must strive to be like the moon, to be kind . . . we're never mad at the moon").

The harmonica at the end reminds me of some of the great Dylan songs.
