* "Ordinary Man" could easily be a GrandFinale for Ozzy's career where he, now in his seventies, all but bids goodbye to his adoring fans while reminiscing on his storied life and career and owning up to his worst decisions. All with a guest verse from Music/EltonJohn, who is about the same age and nearing retirement.

* "Ordinary Man" could easily be a GrandFinale for Ozzy's career where he, now in his seventies, all but bids goodbye to his adoring fans while reminiscing on his storied life and career and owning up to his worst decisions. All with a guest verse from Music/EltonJohn, who is about the same age and nearing retirement. The music video is just as sad, as it simply shows Ozzy sitting in a theater [[WhereItAllBegan in Birmingham]], watching a reel of his life in photographs and videos. At some points he actually tears up, like when Randy Rhoads comes up. It makes you want to reach through the screen and offer him your shoulder.

* See You On The Other Side. ''SEE YOU ON THE OTHER FUCKING SIDE.'' It's a song about what Ozzy thinks will happen once he dies and crosses over to the titular other side, and how he tells those he loves that are grieving that they'll see each other on the other side. It might be a ballad to Sharon, or just to everyone he cares about, nobody really knows. It's still sad as all get out though. The line "God knows I'll see you/I'll see you on the other side" is what ''really'' gets a lot of people.

* Randy Rhoads' death. The way Ozzy and Rudy Sarzo [ex-bassist of the band] put it in their books is chilling. In Sarzo's book, you get to know every member of the band with particular focus on Sarzo himself and Rhoads. Then the chapter about Randy's death comes along, and this particular segment hits you out of nowhere.
-->''... I went for a walk and came upon a church down the street from the motel. I walked in and noticed that the place was empty except for one lonely soul on his knees praying near the altar.

Even in my darkest hour I couldn't help but feel compassion towards someone who seemed to be in more agony than myself.
