Look what they’ve done to my song, ma
Look what they’ve done to my song
It was the only thing that I could do half right
And it’s turning out all wrong, ma
Look what they’ve done to my song

Oh, look at what they’ve done to my brain, ma
Look what they’ve done to my brain
Well, they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think I’m half insane, ma
Look what they’ve done to my song

I wish that I could find a good book to live in
I wish that I could find a good book
Well, if I could find a real good book
I’d never have to come out and look at
What they’ve done to my song

Ils ont changé ma chanson, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson
C’est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n’est pas bon, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson

But maybe, it’ll all be alright, ma
Maybe, it’ll all be okay
Well, if the people are buying tears
I’ll be rich some day, ma
Look at what they’ve done to my song
Look at what they’ve done to my song, ma
Look, look what they’ve done to my song, ma

You know, they tied it up in a plastic bag
And then turned it upside down, oh ma-ma

Lyrics by Sasha Brewis, music by Anestis Triandafyllou

If you seek a fortress
Where hope in silence waits
Follow the dappled shadow to the sky

The road no longer goes there
It’s closed by thorns and trees
That lets the walls within them softly sleep

When you find the fortress
Where peace in silence waits
There you’ll find me waiting with a key

Wild flowers do not grow there
I’ve turned them into wreaths
For your many past friends, your buried dreams

When you seek my fortress
Where truth in silence waits
We’ll try for a tomorrow that is real

Don’t cry about the dreams you had
When they can bloom again
In two years, maybe five, even ten

When you find my fortress
Where love in silence waits
Then the thorns will fade the stones awake

Don’t cry about the dreams you had
When they can bloom again
In two years, maybe five, even ten

 

Lyrics by Arleta

Όταν έρθεις στο πέρα κάστρο, θα ‘μαι εκεί με τα κλειδιά στο χέρι, δε θα βρεις πια το μονοπάτι για τον ουρανό. Το κλείσαν βάτα κι αγκαθιές κι από παντού το ζώσαν και μια σιωπή βαριά το κατοικεί. Όταν έρθεις στο πέρα κάστρο, θα ‘μαι εκεί με τα κλειδιά στο χέρι, δε θα βρεις μήτε παπαρούνες και στάχυα χλωρά. Τα φτιάξαμε όλα στέφανα για τους χαμένους φίλους, για τα θαμμένα όνειρα. Όταν έρθεις στο πέρα κάστρο, θα ‘μαι εκεί με τα κλειδιά στο χέρι, θα έχεις ό,τι απομένει απ’ τον ουρανό. Μην κλάψεις για τα όνειρα, πάλι θε να φυτρώσουν σε δυο, σε πέντε, σε δέκα χρόνια. Όταν έρθεις στο πέρα κάστρο, θα ‘μαι εκεί με τα κλειδιά στο χέρι, έμαθα να περιμένω και δυο και δέκα χρόνια. Μην κλάψεις για τα όνειρα, πάλι θε να φυτρώσουν σε δυο, σε πέντε, σε δέκα χρόνια.

Nafissatou "Nafi" Thiam
world champion παγκόσμια πρωταθλήτρια

 

Nafissatou “Nafi” Thiam was born in 1994 in Brussels to a Belgian mother and a Senegalese father.

Belgium‘s two-time Olympic champion Nafi Thiam trumped Anouk Vetter of the Netherlands in the event-ending 800m to claim world heptathlon gold in Eugene, Oregon.

A heptathlon is a track and field combined events contest made up of seven events.

A competitor in a heptathlon is referred to as a heptathlete.

There are two heptathlons—the men’s and the women’s heptathlon—composed of different events. The men’s heptathlon is older and is held indoors, while the women’s is held outdoors and was introduced in the 1980s, first appearing in the Olympics in 1984.

Exploring the practices and materials used in ancient polychromy, this exhibition highlights cutting-edge scientific methods used to identify ancient color and examines how color helped convey meaning in antiquity, and how ancient polychromy has been viewed and understood in later periods.

Polychromy is a significant area of study for The Met, and the Museum has a long history of investigating, preserving, and presenting manifestations of original color on ancient statuary.

Δεν επιτρέπεται σχολιασμός στο Pilgrimage to the Isle of Cythera

Pilgrimage to the Isle of Cythera is a painting by French painter Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684-1721).  He submitted this work to the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture as his reception piece in 1717.

The painting is now in the Louvre in Paris.

In the ancient world, Cythera, one of the Greek islands, was thought to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, goddess of love.





The Embarkation for Cythera
(“L’embarquement pour Cythère”) is an embellished repetition of Watteau’s earlier painting, and demonstrates the frivolity and sensuousness of Rococo painting. (c. 1718-19, Charlottenburg Palace, Berlin)

0:25 This reproduction of the Berlin painting was probably made by set designer Markos Zervas (1920-2003).

Δεν επιτρέπεται σχολιασμός στο My Deepest Condiments

condiments (καρυκεύματα) λέξη που γράφτηκε κατά λάθος αντί για condolences (συλλυπητήρια), με αποτέλεσμα ο ποιητής να αντλήσει έμπνευση για το ποίημά του

 

 

Taylor Mali (born March 28, 1965) is an American slam poet, humorist, teacher, and voiceover artist, a 12th-generation native of New York City.

I send you my deepest condiments
was in no way what my old friend
meant to say or write or send
the night she penned a note to me
one week after my father died.

Not condolences, or sentiments,
she sent me her deepest condiments
instead, as if the dead have need
of relish, mustard, and ketchup
on the other side.

O, the word made me laugh
so hard out loud it hurt!
So wonderfully absurd,
and such a sweet relief
at a time when it seemed

only grief was allowed in
after my father’s death,
sweet and simple laughter,
which is nothing more than
breath from so far deep inside

it often brings up with it tears.
And so I laughed and laughed
until my sides were sore.
And later still, I even cried
a little more.

 

Τα πιο βαθιά μου καρυκεύματα

Σου στέλνω τα πιο βαθιά μου καρυκεύματα
δεν ήταν σε καμία περίπτωση αυτό που η παλιά μου φίλη
ήθελε να πει ή να γράψει ή να στείλει
το βράδυ που μου έγραψε ένα σημείωμα
μία εβδομάδα αφότου ο πατέρας μου είχε πεθάνει.

Όχι συλλυπητήρια ή συναισθήματα:
μου έστειλε αντιθετως τα πιο βαθιά της καρυκεύματα,
σαν να χρειάζονται οι νεκροί
ψιλοκομμένο τουρσί, μουστάρδα και κέτσαπ
στον άλλο κόσμο.

Ω, αυτή η λέξη με έκανε να γελάσω
τόσο πολύ και δυνατά που άρχισα να πονάω!
Τι υπέροχα παράλογη,
αλλά και πόσο γλυκά ανακουφιστική,
την ώρα που φαινόταν

πως μόνο το πένθος επιτρεπόταν
μετά το θάνατο του πατέρα μου—
γλυκό κι απλό γέλιο,
που είναι απλώς μια ανάσα,
βγαλμένη όμως από τόσο βαθιά μέσα μας

που φέρνει συχνά μαζί της και δάκρυα.
Κι έτσι γέλασα και ξαναγέλασα
μέχρι που πόνεσαν τα πλευρά μου.
Κι ωστόσο αργότερα έκλαψα,
λιγάκι πιο πολύ.

Δεν επιτρέπεται σχολιασμός στο The Lady of Auxerre

The relatively small (75 cm high) limestone Cretan sculpture called the Lady of Auxerre at the Louvre Museum in Paris depicts an archaic Greek goddess of c. 650 – 625 BC. It is a Kore (“maiden”), perhaps a votary rather than the maiden goddess Persephone herself, for her right hand touches her solar plexus and her left remains stiffly at her side.

It is also possible that the Kore is a depiction of a deceased individual, possibly in a position of prayer.

A Louvre curator found the sculpture in a storage vault in the Museum of Auxerre, a city east of Paris, in 1907.

Excavations in the 1990s by Nikolaos Stampolidis in Crete have helped establish more precisely a date and place of origin for the Lady of Auxerre, in the region of Eleutherna and Gortyna, with the recovery from gravesites of very similar carved ivory faces and other objects.

Theremin

Συντάκτης: Κων/νος Βούλγαρης | Κάτω από: Εκπαίδευση στον 21ο αιώνα

The theremin (originally known as the ætherphone) is an electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact by the thereminist (performer).

A purely melodic instrument of the electronic family typically played by moving the right hand between two projecting electrodes with the left hand controlling dynamics and articulation.

It is named after its inventor, Leon Theremin, who patented the device in 1928.

“Over the Rainbow” is a ballad by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Yip Harburg. It was written for the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, in which it was sung by actress Judy Garland.

The sound of the instrument is often associated with eerie situations.

Δεν επιτρέπεται σχολιασμός στο Diamonds and Rust

In the song, Joan Baez recounts an out-of-the-blue phone call from Bob Dylan, which sends her a decade back in time, to a “crummy” hotel in Greenwich Village (a neighbourhood in New York City) in about 1964 or 1965.

She recalls giving him a pair of cufflinks, and surmises that memories bring “diamonds and rust”.

Δεν επιτρέπεται σχολιασμός στο Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands

The technique employed by Bob Dylan to write the song was to construct the verses as a series of “lists” of the attributes of the eponymous Sad-Eyed Lady.

These “lists” are complemented by a sequence of rhetorical questions about the Lady which are never answered within the song.

The lyrics are glorious. The repeated long vowels give it a sonorous, romantic sound. The biblical images of lowlands, prophets, and the offering of gifts to a god-like creature give the song a hymnal quality.

The song was written about Dylan’s first wife, Sara Lownds.

It is like a dream, a riddle and a prayer.

Δεν επιτρέπεται σχολιασμός στο Edward Elgar

Sir Edward William Elgar, 1st Baronet, (2 June 1857 – 23 February 1934) was an English composer, many of whose works have entered the British and international classical concert repertoire.

Although Elgar is often regarded as a typically English composer, most of his musical influences were not from England but from continental Europe.

He felt himself to be an outsider, not only musically, but socially. In musical circles dominated by academics, he was a self-taught composer.

Elgar has been described as the first composer to take the gramophone seriously. Between 1914 and 1925, he conducted a series of acoustic recordings of his works.
