Merry Christmas everybody

From "The Oh Hellos' Family Christmas Album", released on 2016, here's the amazing performances of "Deck The Halls" and "Silent Night, Holy Night" by this American indie folk rock duo, The Oh Hellos.


A very Merry Xmas and a happy New Year. Let’s hope it’s a good one without any fear.
All the wars are stupid and cruel. We're all tired and sick of all the wars, mostly the war in Ukraine which affects all of us, it's destroying the world's economy.
Merry Christmas everybody

I am the walrus

They are the eggmen. Waiting for the sun.
"I am the Walrus" is one of John Lennon's most unique pieces of music for the Beatles. It begins with the musicalization of the sound of a police car's siren. Then, Lennon develops a whole surreal story involving police officers, the Egg Man (various likely influences, such as the English campaign for egg consumption) and, above all, the walrus from the poem “The Walrus and the Carpenter”, written by Lewis Carroll in 1871. In this poem/story, a walrus and a carpenter on the beach begin a walk while talking. And they convince a group of oysters to join them on their walk along the beach... The song is related to the earlier song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and the later song "Glass Onion." And it is part of a set of other fantastic narratives, including those like “Strawberry Fields Forever” from the same “Magical Mystery Tour” album where “I am the Walrus” was published, as well as others included on various albums like “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band”.

In the end, "Oompah oompah, stick it up your jumper" means something like "oh, come on, let's go" and Lennon said that "Oompah oompah everybody's got one" means "We're all the same", we all have the same condition.

And now, one of the fantastic renditions from the Oasis.

Good bye, June! Welcome July, please be kind.

Late 30 years later

À gauche, moi et Martine à la Gare Saint Lazare à Paris en Octobre 1980.

As I told here before, we loved to talk a lot about music of course...

One month after this photo I wrote to her telling about the brand new album of Lennon. Different but discreet and very good. She said nothing. A mad being had killed him.

This post is 2 days late.

I only noticed about the 30th anniversary of the death of John Lennon after reading a late (again) newsletter.

Symbolically the time of this post will be marked with the Lisbon's hour and date of his death.

Below there's an acoustic version of the song I like most from his last album: "Watching the wheels" ... just had to let it go...
