The visuals from the Middle East are sobering and chilling
Truly.
Strange as it would seem, I am reminded of my favourite band, and a song from their early days in the late 1980s when war was a long way away and I was surrounded by young high spirited psychiatric nurses like Tracey Birkin who looked and acted like a young Sophia Loren with open mouthed smiles and the energy of a herd of sweet ponies.
When you are young life is immortal and fear is only a thing seen in the movies.
Everything but the Girl , sang The Night I Heard Caruso Sing beautifully.
The beauty hides the message and screaming dread of war, and we find ourself hurtling towards a faceless video game of war with drones and missiles and screams in the night.
I feel so sad today, listening to that beautiful song
Thankyou. A beautiful sad song
