Yesterday was not only my blog’s birthday, but I also finished a small  book by F.Shalyapin ‘Pages of my life’.To say that I loved it is not enough – it was so astonishingly sincere, open-hearted,  wise and touching – not just touching, but touching your soul, that it was a revelation for me. It was really out of this world.

    The latest book I’ve read was “The Trial” (Kafka). I really loved it!!!
    Out last film was “9 ½ dates” (romantic comedy), the only reason for watching it for us was that it’s hungarian – and as you know it’s one of our favourite countries))
    A song from me is “We are the people” (empire of the sun). I’ve been listening it for several days and I still love it)))))))))) and a phrase from there “we are the people that rule the word” sounds very positive for me)) I start believing in it))

    I liked the song, too.

    We can remember swimming in December,
    Heading for the city lights, in 1975
    We share in each other
    Nearer than father
    The scent of a lemon, drips from your eyes

    We are the people that rule the world
    A force running in every boy and girl
    All rejoicing in the world
    Take me now
    We can try

    We lived an adventure
    Love in the Summer
    Followed the sun till night
    Reminiscing other times of life
    For each every other
    The feeling was stronger
    The shock hit eleven
    Got lost in your eyes

    I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
    Are you gonna leave me now
    Can’t you be believing now
    (repeat)

    Can you remember and humanize,
    It was still where we’d energized,
    Lie in the sand and visualize like its 75 again

    We are the people that rule the world
    A force running in every boy and girl
    All rejoicing in the world
    Take me now
    We can try

    I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
    Are you gonna leave me now
    Can’t you be believing now
    (repeat)

    I know everything about you
    You know everything about me
    Know everything about us
    (repeat)

    I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
    Are you gonna leave me now
    Can’t you be believing now
    (repeat)

    It’s strange, but what I heard was:
    ‘I don’t know everything about you
    You don’t know everything about me
    Don’t Know everything about us’

    The games of my subconscious mind))

    And I keep reading R.Akutagava’s stories – I enjoy them, I hope we’ll discuss some of them…

    No new films from me) because don’t now why, but now I don’t want to see films or read books
    But still I have a song to share:
    “Ten Million Slaves” – the main music theme from “Public enemies”
    I’m the only person here who hasn’t seen it yet))
    I like this song))

    • Ashanina говорит:

      I’m sure by Monday you’ll have seen a dozen new films (five at the very least), and I’ll feel envious and lagging behind))
      Have a nice week-end!

    • Ashanina говорит:

      Only today I listened to the song. I keep hearing what’s not in it – ‘Don’t go away’ instead of ‘Don’t know where’))
      My new/long forgotten word is ‘shackles’
      Here’s a youtube link to the song+lyrics – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVxW9_tPumc

      Rain and fire crossed that ocean
      Another mad man done struck again
      Rain and fire crossed that ocean
      Another mad man done struck again

      Sitting down here fallout shelter
      Paint my walls, twice a week
      Sitting down here fallout shelter
      Think about the slaves, long time ago

      Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
      They had shackles on Their Legs
      Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
      They had Shackles on Their Legs

      Don’t know where, where they’re going
      Don’t know where, where they’ve been
      Don’t know where, where they’re going
      Don’t know where, where they’ve been

      Sun goes out, you’ll be standing
      You’ll be standing by yourself
      Sun goes out, you’ll be standing
      You’ll be standing by yourself

      Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
      They Had Shackles on their legs
      Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
      They had shackles on their legs

      Don’t know where, where they’re going
      Don’t know where, where they’ve been
      Don’t know where, where they’re going
      Don’t know where, where they’ve been

      Ten million slaves crossed that ocean
      They had shackles on their legs
      Food goes bad, food looks Rancid
      But they ate it anyway

      Don’t know where, where they’re going
      Don’t know where, where they�ve been
      Don’t know where, where they’re going
      Don’t know where, where they’ve been

      Sun goes out, you’ll be standing
      You’ll be standing all alone
      Sun goes out, you’ll be standing
      You’ll be standing all alone
      All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone

  5. Olya говорит:

    if someone is going to London in the near future, pls., visit this exhibition:
    Brigitte Bardot and the Original Paparazzi, James Hyman Gallery
    and I will envy…)

    “Finish the week with big hair, bee-stung lips and lashings of eyeliner with this lavish photography exhibition of French provocateur Brigitte Bardot. 75 vintage images – all tousled hair, doe eyes and kittenish sex appeal – are beautifully evocative of the ultimate 60s siren.”

    here is the best site with street shots)

  7. Olya говорит:

    for me it’s not just a beautiful song but also one of the stylish videos)
    by the way I still doubt where he said “if you love me won’t you let me know” to his lover or to God

  8. Olya говорит:

    * not where but whether)

  9. Olya говорит:

    pls., read a comment about homeless gentleman (first picture)

  10. Ashanina говорит:

    I enjoyed reading it – thanks a lot! But I noticed all those blue details the moment I saw the picture and I was surprised to read the author’s comments, to realise it was the colour that caught his eye too. And I agree you get the feeling of dignity, which is rare in homeless people.
    P.S. There was a misprint in this article)) – did you notice it?

  11. Olya говорит:

    do you mean they are not to(o) happy?))

  12. Ashanina говорит:

    Exactly!
