I echo that sentiment. I loved watching the faces. That is what makes us humans. WE FEEL.
I find it very hard to translate poetry. The subtleties of the language is lost in the translation. But here it is. I fixed a google translation which did not make sense, but it still helped.
It has been a few minutes since you left. Shadows of you still linger here and there, on the wooden floors. I open the radio, and it is you, being interviewed. You say: Yes, I love him. I open the television, and it is you again. You are shown between scenes of massacres in Iraq and news of the Canadian economy.
When I was on earth
A subtenant
Of a kilo of future
Incomplete gentlemen in jackets
Invited me to a huge disappointment
Now I do not cry anymore
I collect lives
For D-Day
And in my heart – bunker
I hit currency at your effigy
Don’t leave
Outside the paths are flowing
And the vows are made of dew
Don’t leave
Outside there are silences crowded
With buses fallen on their backs
And conceited that they are
With their bouquet of keys
And jewels of panic
They will sit you in an office
While here, the weather is nice
They will pierce the screen
To offer you a career
Where you can drown your child
They will break the laws
The padlocks and the bones
Don’t leave
Outside there is an orgy of boredom
Going to the bottom of batteries
Don’t leave
Outside I saw a sky so hard
That all the birds’ fell
You know that I read
Under the dresses of time
And on the cement lines
You, you have eyes
That betray the fate
You deserve love
Now that you see
All that does not exist
And if you want to come
Neptune will guide me
Where I sowed with tears
My weapons are in bloom
Don’t leave
I have so many friends
I cannot count them
Don’t leave
I have as many friends
As a thousand Mexico
Don’t’ leave

So ... gonna ride with vimeo for now (hey ... none of those nauseating advertisements) ...

Nah, all videos have been on "no sound" by default for a couple of days now for me.
I just move the sound button again. Doesn´t phase me.
Anyway.....
I am listening to this right now.

Hi All, what I'm watching and listening to now.
I think I've posted this before, but in case you missed it, this is Chooka Parker, a gorgeous 16 year old Ozzy country boy.
See what happens when a young kid grows up without TV, computer or video games on a farm in outback Australia.
Enjoy.

Been a remarkably interesting couple of days regarding the "search for truth".
I would be happy to share more ... except I cannot ... and *that* is what normally drives me crazy ... denied access to information.
Moody Blues (going from memory which is fading fast).Isn't life strange ... a turn of the page

Hmmm ... perhaps my memory isn't quite gone ... at least just yet ...
Take a couple minutes for this one nuggets ... time well spent ... amazing images and sounds.

Posted elsewhere ... but it seems no one has time for music these days ...
That is sad ... one of the greatest parts of what makes us human ...

Excellent choices Calz
I have two Albums by the Alan Parsons Project: I Robot, and Tales of Mystery and Imagination from which 'The Raven' is taken.
Many thanks for posting. JP

Well, that one brought a tear to my eyes, Calz....Moody Blues "Isn't Life Strange".
Thought I'd share another Moody Blues tune..."The Land of Make Believe"...where "heartaches can turn into joy"...
Thanks for introducing me to Chooka, Sooz. I had never heard him before. I am ... heart struck !
This song came to me in a time of deep despair. Many people reached out to me then and the song reminds me of them all. I too reach out to others when I encounter them in their time of need. It is a reminder that we need to look out for one another. I have seen this kind of love here at TOT (and elsewhere...).

Can't help it, every time I hear a Sarah Brightman song, I think of this one.
