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
ReplyDeleteAnd so it continues... World peace is just a pipe dream, sadly. xx
ReplyDeleteYes so sad. The song describes exactly how I feel. Fear and grief.
ReplyDeleteOur world is beautiful, BUT filled with too many ugly men waging war.
ReplyDeleteI am distressed about what is happening, and is it our, or rather the US business? I suppose the answer is oil. Always the oil.
ReplyDeleteRemember you are surrounded by love and friendship close to home x
ReplyDeleteI was raised under a cloud of stories of death and hatred. I’ve never had that time in my life when I felt immortal. It’s a beautiful song and those last three lines are heartbreaking.

ReplyDeleteBut that song? Thank heavens for the facility of subtitles!
