The Night I Heard Caruso Sing


 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

  4. Our world is beautiful, BUT filled with too many ugly men waging war.

  5. I am distressed about what is happening, and is it our, or rather the US business? I suppose the answer is oil. Always the oil.
