Buddy Guy released It feels like rain 9th of march 1993 and performed it with John Mayer 2014
the guitar playing ends in this video with a children's song I believe is called Mary had a little lamb in a nice harmony.
Do you know or love music for the lyrics alone? Are there more rainy songs or other weathers?
I wonder...
and these three songs comes with different background stories and the word pressure is used in very
different meanings depending on from which time they're written. Don't you think that a word has
different meaning depending on in which time and space it is told?
Firstly came Under pressure(1981) by David Bowie and Queen/ Freddie Mercury,
and it became a hit song in the 1980's.
It's about love and why can't we give ourselves one more chance and it's about
the whole world. During that time when Under pressure was written the Berlin Wall was still up as a
reminder of the 2nd world war, I was in Berlin this May 2016 and and some of the wall is still there to this day(most of it was destroyed 9 sept 1989) to remind about that war and it is now there for tourists to take a look at and it seems harmless when it's just some broken wall but back in the day there was watchtowers and soldiers shooting those trespassing. And although that wall was there still people could go through, escaping from communist east to west.
Freddie Mercury and David Bowie wrote the lyrics, improvised the song.
then I heard Pressure by Ylvis in 2012, (see that I'm ignoring the Vanilla Ice cover song?)
This is a rap with lyrics about put the right amount of pressure on it, 'cause you gotta know how to,
like you're in control, the funny lyrics turn into the meaning of the pressure of the weather, which fits
the Norweigan boys, talk about the weather is a daily business.
and today I heard No pressure with Ray Lamontagne, it seems to have been released this year ,
20 jan 2016. The song is about how he doesn't want to see his loved one crying. It's rock n' roll and
that soothing voice of Ray. Anything you want to be you can be. It says not when it was written but
it's released like ten days after Bowies passing so I'm thinking about that.
And that is three songs about pressure that I've heard of. Cheers!
A real black friday has passed. Earthquake in Japan. Bomb in Beirut. Shootings in Paris.
Same old story in the no man's land of Gaza, Israel or Palestine
I only knew about Einsteins written letter about war and humanity with Sigmund Freud it's called
Why war?
today I've learned about Tolstojs letter/ correspondence with Mahatma Ghandi from
Maria Popovas well written Brainpickings. It's a bit of text about them discussing love,
violence, and the truth of the human spirit. Maybe read it and tell me what it was about.
Song of the day November Rain by Guns n' roses
My reflection
I had a little song in mind. Don't think it is written yet.
It goes something like
anyone someone somehow Where are you where am I what are you what am I who are you who am I where are anyone in this chaos created by us are you human man or mouse I'm sorry this illusion has caused you a lot of pain...
Bye for now - I'm at a loss for words actually
I don't understand
it's all Why like Annie Lennox sings
I so do not care for what the politicians say, listened to this song by Sting & the Police
which I agree with
Lyrics goes like (without the do de dahs) I don't care for the politicians.
I check out the lyrics and this verse I was thinking of
Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no one's jamming their transmission
And when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and wraps you
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
Then the song ends with words are meaningless and that I think not is, do de da doesn't mean anything. But funnily enough many lyrics have been written rather indirect political agenda like Some Beatles songs are very wordly political oriented (now Hey Jude is not about the Jew but it was it translates to in Swedish) My fav Beatles song is Come together because it has that kind of a zing to it or it is the News song I like better - A day in the life is good song too. Another person that has written songs a little bit under the influence is Cornelis Vreeswijk, he was from Holland originally but he has become a Swedish national bard, his songs have been sung by every school children (at least when I went there some years ago) I had this idea of translating his music to english and found out that he has already done the opposite he translated some verses from English to Swedish but he did it with his words and twisted them to be entertaining. Incestvisan that he translated he got awarded a prize for from a swedish female magazine for have written the most horrible manschauvinistiska song that year. That it was about incest was enough for him to get the award but then he told that the original writer of the song was female Buffy Saint Marie, that he Cornelis himself talked to and got permission to translate the song from her: The incest song, that she learned from her grandmother, a real navajoindian. Then Cornelis sings the song all ends well since there been some misunderstanding in the family about who was who's father... So one can look into more information thanks to the internet and Buffy is still touring the world, apparently she wrote the song "Up where we belong" that became a film soundtrack for "An officer and a gentleman" which is Richard Gere like, that´s my grandmothers favorite actor. So one comes from politicians I care not for to, to the things one do care about, family. That scene is so Simpsons now. Homer carries Marge through the toxic power plant, Its funny how the cartoons or animations so rule the world at the same time terrifying because a new generation has no recollection of that original screenplay. Education is therefor very important. Learn something new everyday why don't you? Do de da words meaningless up where we belong... Rest in peace, Vila i Frid, Robert Broberg, visans välgörare i Öken - Ajöken
- I saw that video of Avril Lavigne being sad about the doctor that laughed in her face instead of taking her serious. I've seen that kind of crying before so I know it was real tears and it hurts one to not be understood, to be overwhelmed by feelings when one has been stepped on. One feel sadness whenever one self has been used without consent. Now I wonder about why it had to become public.
- But of course it had to become public! Now it is possible to move forward in the struggle of lyme disease!
- What is lyme disease? (google translate lyme disease is : borrelia in swedish) Aha! Well of course that is true it is a worrysome time every summer as the ticks(fästingar) awake from their winter slumber. It's all over the news every spring, beware of the ticks and remember to get ur vaccination.
- You can get vaccinated against borrelia?
- NO, there is no protection against it, Borrelia is a germ or bacteria that has been on earth for millions of years, its one of the old diseases. But you can protect yourself against TBE which some ticks also carry around thats what the vaccine is for. And if you got Borrelia you can get medicine like antibiotics to stop it some what but be careful with getting not antibiotic unnecessary because them bacteria is starting to get multiresistent because of the overuse of it.
- Oh we're doomed. Nothing new under the sun. I think that's a saying from the bible. Ticks, how many ticks are there? Where are they?
- Do you remember the program "Mitt i Naturen" (in the middle of nature great swedish television show that explores nature) That handsome man walked in the woods with a white sheet and was deliriously happy over getting so many ticks on that white sheet to show you - the viewers - how the extraordinary ticks is hiding in the wide open in the woods.
- But my brother got borrelia (lyme- disease) just from a run around the lake?
- Yes the little fästing (tick) sit and wait on a grass straw for years until an animal or human passes by for it to jump on. So that is why you put on clothes when we're going to the forrest to pick chanterelles and blueberries. Socks on. Long legged trousers, long sleeves.
- And mosquito salva (cream) It hurts when the mosquito bites.
- Yes, when you're little it hurts more but as you get older you won´t feel it as much.
- I hate mosquitos, whatever are they good for? Whatever are the ticks good for?
- They have their place in nature for sure. Imagine a world without worries for the little things...
- I can't. I'm glad I don't have a cat anymore for the ticks did get into the bed then, from the cat being outdoors and then sleeping in my bed. Can you imagine what it's like for the dogs? Picking ticks of 'em all.
- Yes, poor animals. Have you seen the mango worms? Don't, it gives you nightmares.
So theres no cure for Borrelia(lyme) yet and it's older than most bacteria in nature. So basically nothing to worry about. I get maybe one or two ticks crawling on me every summer from walking in the woods or tall grass in Roslagen, Sweden. It has become a ritual to take the tick of carefully by its head with tweezers(pincett) and then burn it with a match into an ashtray of some sort(while laughing death in the face). Be cautious and notice if there is a red mark around the bite place on the skin couple of days later then it might be lyme disease.
Chill out it's summer! Go out pick blueberries with proper clothes on, walk the dog, do whatever.
things she thinks is needed for the peaceful religion to brome truly peaceful by
like christianity has already have subdued(?) to, I mean
like those of the bible religion have already made adjustment to fit the modern world, not all but most
in Europe at least, even the pope is trying to modernize things further.
It is now time for muslim, followers of the Koran to also do something about the old sayings
from a uncivilized era so many hundred years ago.
On the swedish tweets after the program there was not many comment about
her saying the focus got into what other was on the program
where some politicians spoke awkwardly about stuff.
But I found the interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali. May God bless her for wanting to make a change for
the better.
Most human beings just want to go by their life its a democracy that is being challenged Status quo if you want to call it such is being challenged and its being questioned which has being goin on for a long time but it is building up and as its building up it is extremely important that we face up to the people whiten Islam who are taking us into a direction where people are committing crimes against humanity
In the interview Anna Hedenmo ask - Many muslims are hurt by your words about their religion they feel offended because to them Islam is a peaceful religion How does it feel to hurt so many people?
Ayaan answers - I have to ask them What hurts you more Doesn't it offend you this young man in Saudi Arabia who is fighting for modernity and liberty and life before death and he is sentenced to one thousand lashes, a million riyal, ten years of prison. Don't you find that offensive? If you don't find that offensive what's wrong with your humanity?
She made me understand more of how come Raif Badawi has got into trouble, he also want
to make change of the religion to fit modern day and make it peaceful. But him blogging about it
made things bad. I can not believe it, because of one speaking his or her heart or mind out
should not have consequences like that what he got. In Sweden one of the four laws of foundation(?)
(grundlagarna) is the freedom of speech(yttrandefrihet), which means that you are allowed to speak
out your different point of view without being in any way punished by what it is you say (unless if its
hurtful to others ... blablabla.. and so fort - the text of the law goes on)
I don´t know what tomorrow brings
(Well, we're off to Holmhällar on the subject of Land art, 2 hour busdrive to the south of Gotland, so I'll be disconnected for a week or so...)
Whats up world!? I'm just a swedish girl that love music.
In the swedish newspaper I read today that the EU wish to see more trainees/ lärlingar in Sweden.
I think its a wonderful idea, but I wonder how to get it done? In Expressen(evening standard newspaper) yesterday Ann Charlotte thought that those who are unemployed should help out in the healthcare, taking care of the old, instead of having the rule that those who have been unemployed for more than 2 years is forced to do meaningless fas3 jobs.
Another voice in the newspaper that made me think was Magdalena, that thought real jobs should be done with real pay where those who work get to do a real effort.
Mikroloan to the young thinks Claes because it is something that has worked for the Africa countries.
Last seen Musicvideo: David Bowie och Gary Oldman i The next day video. Them dressed as people of the church, no, Bowie is dressed as a singing profet and it is clearly a prostitute bar. A kid say in the beginning her money for the poor and the hungry. The Gary Oldman hits the poor man down and a prostitute picks up money from the floor. Whom made the musicvideo this time? Who was the director I mean? SO cool. The priest Gary shout something at the profet and the prostitute woman starts bleeding from her hands like shes been nailed. It ends with David Bowie saying thank you everyone and disappearing into the spotlight. (I don't see why there was such a fuss about the video.)
Ciao!
