man in catharsis


Minutes are losses to lived stories. Instants are not enough to lick the wounds.
And time comes after me. Bring of me. And time comes after you. Bring of you. And time comes after us. Bring of us.


A port, when it's cheerful, is the right place to dock. And we want to stay, And... we want to stay.
A port, when it's cheerful, is the right place even far from the sea. And we want to stay!

I can't give everything away


"I Can't Give Everything Away", is the last track of "Blackstar", the last studio album of David Bowie, released on 8 January 2016, Bowie's 69th birthday. Bowie died 2 days later, 10 years and 49 days ago.
Maybe Bowie is telling us that he cannot tell anyone everything about himself. We'll never know...


Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails made a remix called Farewell Mix, which he performs live singing along with Bowie's vocals recording.
The following song selected for this post is The Lovers.

Days Of Ash


U2 just released on Ash Wednesday, "Days Of Ash". It's an EP with six songs condemning current regimes of violence in many places in the world, their injustices, and the resulting deaths.
Here's two songs of the six included in that EP:

1 - About the authoritarian government in America, its brutal ICE, and homaging Renée Good:
Renee Good born to die free. American mother of three.

American Obituary

2 - And about the war in Ukraine and the heroic resistance of the people of that nation:
Don't sleep. Don't even think about it. No need. Maybe a little bit. Still dream. About waking up free.

Yours Eternally
