"Good Old Desk" -- Harry Nilsson

SOAPSTone 
Subject - His desk God
Occasion - 1973
Audience - Those who liked his genre of music
Purpose - To talk about dependability; proselytizing
Speaker - Speaking of trust
Tone - loving, comforting

What is he talking about?
At first, it seems like Nilsson is talking about the dependability of his good old desk and maybe comparing it to something that he doesn't usually receive from people. Later, one would find that he is comparing his good old desk to God and the dependability and sturdiness that Nilsson finds in God.

Representation of God:
- "To keep my hopes alive"
- "No place to go, always there"
- "It's the friend I've got, a giant of all times"
