No family,friends,colleagues just a job and a house.
Music helps us in various situations,gives energy.
What I will hear in the coming days,weeks or even months depending on how I feel in a given situation,at this moment,and what I want to hear the words.
I remember a few years ago "I loved" music of Michael Jackson but my brother had better tape and always drowned out play"Dire Straits"and lovely solos on guitar.
Imagine that after years of hatred for this team I choose their song:"Brothers in arms".
This was a song that helped me pick up on the spirit of the time when I needed support and good words.
"Brothers in arms"
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
The song was released in 1985 as a single under the same title.
The song was written by the leader of the band Mark Knopfler and it was the inspiration for his father`s memories of the time when he served as a volunteer in the Israel army.
Video to this song is a black-and-white drawing of a film anti-war and was a hit in the 80`s.
Sure is amazing how the song with was used in the films:"South","The West Wing"or"Miami Vice"could fortify me.
In poems as in the lyrics,you can read a lot of hidden words that can be interpreted differently.
First lyrics are telling me that now here is my house but I can always go back to my home,country,family and to return to my childhood memories when I run across the fields for kites.
" And you'll no longer burn"
and there will not be more "burn"physically and mentally at work,the end of the"rat race".
"You did not desert me
My brothers in arms"
My brothers in arms"
friends finally meet in poverty and many are waiting for our slip at work because it is somebody they know to take your place,but there will always be a true friend who will help.
" There's so many different worlds...
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones".
But we live in different ones".
And who here does not agree?
So many of us leaving country and families in search of work and better prospects,but still"one foot"in their country.
Oh, and the guitar sounds, makes you want to reach for the instrument and play.
I hope than you join,send some songs and your filling about their lyrics.
