Lesson n°4

If someone talks about you like you're not in the room...
they're not your friends:
a friend will talk TO you
not ABOUT you

Romanian Rhapsody

"Romanian Rhapsody" composed by George Enescu
Conductor: Sergiu Celibidache


From Wikipedia: 
"In 1923 he made his debut as a conductor in a concert given by the Philadelphia Orchestra in New York City, and made frequent visits to the United States subsequently. It was in America, in the 1920s, that Enescu was first persuaded to make recordings as a violinist. He also appeared as a conductor with many American orchestras, and in 1936 he was one of the candidates considered to replace Toscanini as permanent conductor of the New York Philharmonic.^[1] In 1935, he conducted the Orchestre Symphonique de Paris and Yehudi Menuhin (who had been his pupil for several years starting in 1927) in Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major. He also conducted the New York Philharmonic between 1937 and 1938. In 1939 he married Maria Rosetti (known as the Princess Cantacuzino through her first husband Mihail Cantacuzino), a good friend of the future Queen MarieBucharest, Enescu lived in the Cantacuzino Palace on Calea Victoriei (now the Muzeu Naţional George Enescu, dedicated to his work)."

Vorbeste Vinul

The chorus:
"All I say now, forget till tomorrow
It's not me talking
It's the wine that I'm drinking"

Nu ne-am nascut in locul portivit

I also remember growing up in communism.
The children in the video wear "pioneer" uniforms..
I used to wear a similar uniform till  December 1989

Hallelujah

הַלְּלוּיָהּ

Song written and recorded by Leonard Cohen in 1984.

Hans Zimmer - Rain Man theme

Maria Tanase - Lume, lume

Les Derniers Seront Les Premiers

I love this song.

Everybody hurts

"Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you..." 
No, I do not believe that.
Or, at least I hope there is an opposite force that instead of hurting will heal.

A tribute to R.E.M, the song  "Everybody hurts" by "The Corrs".

Make the Change

Rest in Peace, Michael.

Thank You.

















I cannot explain how, but this song reminds me of Bill Hicks' Revelations'.

The Rose

I decided to ignore the winter and to post the photos of a delicate yet strong rose.




... and Nana's song:

I - I - MMX

Happy New Year 2010!

I'm happy. I work tomorrow and I'm happy about that.
Does it sound crazy?

I'm just happy.. inexplicably happy.

Remember: all energy is just borrowed.

11th of December..

This is for my mother.
For so many reasons...

Thank You.



Corina Chiriac singing "Mama, doar Mama"

....si je savais que je t'aimais tant, je t'aurais aimé davantage."

Sweet home

All I can say: it's good to be home.
Everything else is fine, I guess.
Being in good health it is a treasure.
And like any other treasure we don't fully appreciate it until it is lost.
I feel good now and I'm very grateful for that.
Physically...
Emotionally .... well, that's another story.

Fluturi galbeni - a song by Maria Buza

All is old and all is new

A friend sent me a link to a very interesting article: The 10 Most Puzzling Ancient Artifacts .

This made me think of the poem "Glossa" by M. Eminescu:

"All is old and all is new,

Time goes by, time comes along."

You can read the rest of the poem here.

Translation by A. G. Sahlean & al.

In the photo: the poet Mihai Eminescu (1850 -1889) from AgendaClujeana.

Listen to a beautiful song for Eminescu by Doina si Ion Aldea Teodorovici.

"The Flower Duet (Lakmé)" - Léo Delibes

Sad

I feel sad.
Another crazy day at work, as usual..
I wish I could quit.

There is also another song that expresses how I feel right now.

P.S. I'll be fine.

Savoy - Pana la lacrimi

"Merg pe Pamant si sunt ca vioara"
"I'm walking on this Earth and I'm like a violin"
