Beth: Memo to aspiring musicians
Attention all would-be singers, songwriters or musicians in general:
Effective immediately, there will be a moratorium on songs or albums featuring the following topical themes, for reasons of over-saturation already in the market.

1. Gravity
(See as examples "Gravity" by John Mayer, "Oh! Gravity" by Switchfoot, and "Gravity" by Embrace. See also the albums "Gravity" by Our Lady Peace, and "Oh! Gravity" by Switchfoot.)

2. Breathing
(See as examples "Breathe" by Collective Soul, "Breathe In" by Frou Frou, "Breathe" by Michelle Branch, and "Breathe" and "Breathe (Benediction)" by Newsboys.)

3. Time
(See as examples "Falling For the First Time" and "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" by Barenaked Ladies, "If I Could Turn Back Time" by Cher, "Wasting My Time" by Default, "Do You Have a Little Time" by Dido, "In Good Time" by Domestic Problems, "Summertime" by Hello Dave, "Time" by Hootie and the Blowfish, "Perfect Time of Day" by Howie Day, "Feel Good Time" by Pink, "Bigtime" by The Soundtrack of Our Lives, "In the Meantime" by Spacehog, and "How Many Times" by Zack Hexum. See also the albums "Our Time in Eden" by 10,000 Maniacs and "Time to Say Goodbye" by Sarah Brightman.)

4. Sight
(See as examples "See You When You're 40" and "See the Sun" by Dido, "Suddenly I See" by KT Tunstall, "I Didn't See You Standing There" by The Nadas, "I've Got To See You Again" by Norah Jones, and "If You Could Only See" by Tonic.)

And that's just from my personal music collection.
It's time for a fresh wave of musical creativity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
