With this music, from France 1977, I don't think the video pleased BBC c1977, but it's a lovely memory/sound of that great year for music.

It also ties-in well with thoughts about nature too...if you enjoy music, you can enjoy receiving inspiration and energy; something nature gives us too...we feel the music affect us, and allow ourselves to be so...then we can do the same with nature; if we learn to let it within us, we too can welcome and embrace it's beauty and benefits, just as music can...music and the world (nature) around us are the most powerful of freedoms known to us today.
Nobody can stop, or take either away from us, it is everyone's responsibility and birthright!

Goodnight all~~

Cerrone: Supernature
Once upon a time

Science opened up the door

We would feed the hungriy fields

Tilll they could'nt eat no more

But the potion that we made

Touched the creatures down below

And they grow up in a way

That we'd never seen before

Supernature, supernature, supernature, supernature

They were angry with the man

Cause changed their way of life

And they take their sweet revenge

As they trample throught the night

For hundred miles or more

You could hear the people cry

But there is nothing you can do

Even god is on their side

God is on, god is on, god is on their side

Supernature, supernature, supernature, supernature

Cars will break the light

Come flowing in the air

The creature will decide

Who goes where

How can I explain

Things are different today

Darkness all around

No one makes a sound

Such a sad affaire

No one seems to care

Supernature, supernature, supernature, supernature

Better watch out

There's no way to stop it now

You can't escape it's too late

Look what you've done

There's no place that you can run

The monsters made, we must pray

Maybe nature has a plan

To control the way of man

He must start from scratch again

Many battles must he win

Till he earns his place on earth

Like the other creatures do

Will there be a happy end

Now that all depends on you

Supernature, supernature, supernature, supernature

Imagining raindrops gifted with a view
a freeflowing sculp envisage of you
on eupeptic currents of warmth uprising
against any negatives we're so despising

Our season of hope in fleeting updraft
takes to the skies with gradely craft
highter than the sun: nestling stars!
centuple kisses like interplaying guitars

A limitless horizon seen from lofty treetop
upon sturdy life and limb defying potential drop
the cypress branching-out and forever upwards
into dreams of atmospheric gods' own accord.

Continuing my bizarre and unexpected, but definitely fulfilling Germanic weekend has been more Kraftwerk and "Metropolis".

The two combine beautifully here too, on this video below which you can enjoy as an afterchill for your weekend excessess~~!!

Metropolis is an early silent science fiction/fantasy film created by the famed Austrian director Fritz Lang. Produced in Germany during the brief years of the Weimar Republic and released in 1927, it was the most expensive silent film of the time, costing approximately 7 million Reichsmark (equivalent to around $200 million in 2005) to make. [1]. The screenplay was written in 1924 by Lang and his wife, Thea von Harbou, and novelized by von Harbou in 1926. It is set in a futuristic urban dystopia, and (like its contemporary The Battleship Potemkin) addresses the then-current political themes of capitalism v. communism.

Watch Kraftwerk/Metroplis here

Failing that, then let France have a go, with Space, from 1977...a magical moment in French electro...Magic Fly, No.2...

A parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer's well. The farmer heard the mule 'braying' - or - whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together and told them what had happened...and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery.

Initially, the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back...a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back...HE SHOULD SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP! This he did, blow after blow.

"Shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up!" he repeated to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows, or distressing the situation seemed the old mule fought "panic" and just kept right on SHAKING IT OFF AND STEPPING UP!

You're right! It wasn't long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, STEPPED TRIUMPHANTLY OVER THE WALL OF THAT WELL! What seemed like it would bury him, actually blessed him...all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity.

THAT'S LIFE! If we face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self-pity...THE ADVERSITIES THAT COME ALONG TO BURY US USUALLY HAVE WITHIN THEM THE POTENTIAL TO BENEFIT AND BLESS US! Remember that FORGIVENESS--FAITH--PRAYER-- PRAISE and HOPE...all are excellent ways to "SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP" out of the wells in which we find ourselves!

This can make anybody feel good....

Enter in the dance, Plug it in an we begin

Back to the medics for now, but hope to return later, and my music is more empowering today, which is most important to get through the days.

For lovely people everywhere...especially the ONE in the heart...

BT: Remember

I know how you feel.
I'm feeling it to.
I hold my heart, I dream of you.
I see your face, I feel it, too.
Searching skies.
I need you.
I miss you.

Take this and hold
my love for you.
In separate times we think as two.
In paradise I'll drown in you.
Still searching skies.
I need you.
I want you.

I know how you feel.
I'm feeling it to.
I hold my heart, I dream of you.
I see your face, I feel it, too.
Searching skies.
I need you.
I miss you.

Take this and hold
my love for you.
In separate times we think as two.
In paradise I'll drown in you.
Still searching skies.
I need you.
I want you.

I love you, love you, I love only you...love you.

Remember me near.
There may be times when it's not right
for me to be there.
But remember me near.
Remember me near.
There may be times when it's not right
for me to be there.
But remember me near.

Searching for strength.
Can I face this day.
Blinded by your love we stay.
You're always there,
you're in my head
still chasing skies.
I need you.
Oh, I miss you.

Just love you, only you, only you...

I love you, I love you, I love only you...love you.

Remember me near.
There may be times when it's not right
for me to be there.
But remember me near.
Remember me near.
There may be times when it's not right
for me to be there.
But remember me near.
(repeat out)

-BT, a true favourite, I wish would release more material like this song!

Yes, I heard it in a song
caught it on a breeze
felt it under a leaf fall
watched it fly across the blue sky
embraced my fears behind closed eyes
entwined fingers seeking comfort
kissed upon my palpitations
yes, I felt it was you all around, all the time.

A Short History about Thai Script

King Ramkhamhaeng was not only a valiant and wise ruler, but he also cares a lot about the welfare of his people.

The Thai script (writing) was created by King Ramkhamhaeng, the second son of King Si Intharathit of Sukhothai who had freed Thailand from the Khmer.

King Ramkhamhaeng was also the most successful monarch ever to rule the Sukhothai kingdom.

In order to be truly independent from the influences of the Mon and the Khmer, he created "The Sukhothai Script" in 1283 A.D and it was the earliest Thai writing that was pure Thai.

The Sukhothai Script was actually originated from the ancient Brahmi script of South India called "Grantha".

In 1357, King Li Thai (grandson of King Ramkhamhaeng), created a new script called "King Li Thai script". In 1680, the King Narai script was introduced and it has now become the national Thai script.

Thai consonant class is needed for pronunciation...

The modern Thai script now uses an alphabet of 44 consonants, 32 vowels and four tone marks.

The consonants are then divided into 3 classes, high, medium and low. Please note that the classes are completely arbitrary though.

A low consonant might sound like a high tone and the opposite is also true.

These symbols have been found on many of the artefacts excavated from sites in south-east Europe, in particular from Vinča near Belgrade, but also in Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, eastern Hungary, Moldova, southern Ukraine and the former Yugoslavia. The artefacts date from between the 7th and 4th millennia BC and those decorated with these symbols are between 8,000 and 6,500 years old.

Some scholars believe that the Vinča symbols represent the earliest form of writing ever found, predating ancient Egyptian and Sumerian writing by thousands of years. Since the inscriptions are all short and appear on objects found in burial sites, and the language represented is not known, it is highly unlikely they will ever be deciphered.

Symbols dating from the oldest period of Vinča culture can be seen here: Link

This is another great favourite of mine...a perfect song for evenings, mornings, beauty and long drives into the sun...perfection~~~
