22. Nick Lowe – So It Goes (1976)
And so it goes and so it goes
And so it goes and so it goes
But where it’s goin‘ no one knows
—
„“So it goes“ is a recurring refrain in Kurt Vonnegut’s 1969 novel ‚Slaughterhouse-Five‘. He uses it as a refrain when events of death, dying, and mortality occur or are mentioned; as a narrative transition to another subject; as a memento mori; as comic relief; and to explain the unexplained. The phrase appears 106 times.“
