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

Love is urgent

Urgentemente

É urgente o amor.
É urgente um barco no mar.
É urgente destruir certas palavras, ódio, solidão e crueldade, alguns lamentos, muitas espadas.
É urgente inventar alegria, multiplicar os beijos, as searas, é urgente descobrir rosas e rios e manhãs claras.
Cai o silêncio nos ombros e a luz impura, até doer.
É urgente o amor, é urgente permanecer.

 Eugénio de Andrade, 1951

Urgently

Love is urgent.
A boat at sea is urgent.
It's urgent to destroy certain words, hate, loneliness and cruelty, some laments, many swords.
It's urgent to invent joy, to multiply kisses, the harvests, it's urgent to discover roses and rivers and clear mornings.
Silence falls on the shoulders and the light impure, until it hurts.
Love is urgent, it's urgent to remain.


Have a beautiful Valentine's Day <3
