    Gigliola Cinquetti sings ‘Giovane vecchio cuore

    Young old heart

    Maybe I’ll end up like this
    a woman alone in a restaurant
    me, who have loved few and known so many
    that even now my memory breaks
    and my heart stops too
    thinking about how good of a scent
    is a skin that smells good

    Maybe I’ll end up like this
    but I can’t know for sure
    maybe I’ll end up like this

    Maybe I’ll end up like this
    or maybe I won’t even have time to age
    just to almost forget
    what I was looking for
    maybe it was something beautiful
    that left in an hour
    and it’s strange, really strange to say this now
    while I’m still searching for it

    Maybe I’ll end up like this
    but I can’t know for sure
    maybe I’ll end up like this

    I am facing it, the time
    that moves quick on the outside and slowly within me
    despite all the damages it has caused
    it couldn’t take away my smile
    it couldn’t choose in my stead

    If it lay its hands on me
    it did it painlessly
    I understand you and I won’t betray you
    poor silly young old heart

    I hide you deep inside of me
    poor silly young old heart
    ’cause when I won’t be here anymore
    crumpling these clothes
    I’ll be gone like this
    like I’m still seventeen

    Maybe I’ll end up like this
    sitting on a step of the stairs, resting
    as always thinking to myself
    that it all was rigged and that’s not fair
    and with which funny flip will I know
    if it has been a journey or just a trip?
    But until then I’ll be there
    because there’s life

    Maybe I’ll end up like this
    but I can’t know for sure
    maybe I’ll end up like this
    so then, let’s wait and see

    I think Iran exactly knows what it’s doing towards the possible scenarios worked out with Russia and China within BRICS+. No matter what the U.S. does, the outcome will be the same sooner or later.

    That gathering of planes at Diego Garcia:

    1. Bluf? (expensive poker)
    2. Bait? (hoping to receive a first strike)
    3. False Flag? (preparation)
    4. Distraction? (…)
    5. For real (intention)

    The Same Moonlight

    When did my childhood friends leave far from me?
    When did the people close to me become unfamiliar?
    The squeeze of the crowd widened our distance
    A deserted land
    Quietly weeps into the night.

    Pray tell, pray tell,
    Did we change the world,
    or did the world change me and you?
    Pray tell, pray tell,
    Did we change the world,
    or did the world change me and you?

    The same moonlight still shines on Xindian Creek
    The same winter still falls with ice-cold rain
    The same dust still collects in the wind
    The same smiles, the same tears.
    The same days, the same you and me.
    The same smiles, the same tears.
    The same days, the same you and me.

    When did the frogs’ croaking and cicadas’ chirping become a memory?
    When did our hometowns become this crowded?
    High rise buildings tower all over
    Rainbows of neon have tarnished the night sky

    Pray tell, pray tell
    Did we change the world,
    or did the world change me and you?
    Pray tell, pray tell,
    Did we change the world,
    or did the world change me and you?

    The same smiles, the same tears.
    The same days, the same you and me.
    The same smiles, the same tears.
    The same days, the same you and me.
    The same smiles, the same tears.
    The same days, the same you and me.

    We write stuff for ourselves and maybe, just maybe, someone else can benefit from it too. What works for you (and me) doesn’t have to work for others. Diversity rules the world. Even if Jesus would revisit Earth, many would just walk past him and don’t want to listen. And every truth on Earth is only true for some time. Keep up the good work.

    I suppose Russia can provide the Houtis with information so that their missiles can sink those aircraft carriers. What is the problem?

    Kensington performs “Sorry

    “Sorry for the road that I won’t take
    For the words that I won’t say
    For the love that I won’t give

    Sorry for the heart that I won’t show
    For the lengths that I won’t go
    For the life that you won’t live

    Sorry that I opened up my arms
    You would never reach in time
    Before they closed again

    You will forget
    And I won’t remember it
    When all I ever did was race in circles
    You will forget
    And all there’s left will be
    A faded memory
    A dream you woke up from

    Sorry for the oath that I won’t take
    For the vows that I will break
    For the role that I won’t play

    Sorry that I’m raising up my walls
    And whenever you reached over
    You are thrown back to the start

    You will forget
    And I won’t remember it
    When all I ever did was race in circles
    You will forget
    And all there’s left will be
    A faded memory
    A dream you woke up from

    The colour I would bring to ending up again
    Opening darkness I wanted to hold you back from
    From the colour I would bring to ending up again
    Opening darkness I wanted to hold you back

    You will forget
    And I won’t remember it
    When all I ever did was race in circles
    You will forget
    And all there’s left will be
    A faded memory
    A dream you woke up from”

    (Personal note: It’s such a pity that frontman Eloi Youssef left the Kensington band in 2022.)

    Lucia Popp sings Rusalka (Song to the Moon)

    By the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák

    Song to the Moon

    O, moon, up in the deep sky,
    Your light sees distant places,
    You travel round the wide world,
    You look into people’s houses.
    You travel round the wide world,
    You look into people’s houses.

    O, moon, stay for a moment,
    Tell me, o, tell me where is my love!
    O, moon, stay for a moment,
    Tell me, o, tell me where is my love!

    Tell him please, silver moon in the sky,
    That I embrace him,
    That he should for at least a while,
    Remember his dreams!
    That he should for at least a while,
    Remember his dreams!

    Light up his distant place,
    Tell him, oh, tell him who waits here!
    Light up his distant place,
    Tell him, oh, tell him who waits here!

    If he dreams of me,
    May this memory waken him!

    O, moon, don’t disappear,
    Don’t go !

    You’re welcome Siljan and thank you for this music. It must have been a special experience for all those people in the Arena of Verona.

    Katie Melua sings “I will be there”

    “She is like the lady down the road
    Or just the woman up the street
    Like any mother you may know
    To me, she is the one who had it planned
    To lead us all to Wonderland
    She always wanted us to go

    And she said
    Don’t ever be lonely
    Remember, I’ll always care
    Wherever you may be
    Remember I will be there

    And like another lady that we know
    She has a smile so bright and sweet
    And hair as white as driven snow
    Though life is never easy day to day
    She has a very special way
    To make us smile when we are low

    And she says
    Don’t ever be lonely
    Remember, I’ll always care
    Wherever you may be
    Remember I will be there

    Don’t ever be lonely
    Remember, I will be there
    I will be there
    I will be there”

    Interesting scenario at 7:35. At the same time, there is now an awful lot of talk about negotiations and we actually have to wait and see how Russia will play it. What I wonder with so many interviews and which are often repetitive is whether it contributes anything substantially to awareness or whether it is just about generating income. I don’t mind the latter, but I actually always prefer to look for awareness.
