How to be alone

Sometimes, it is just unbearable to be alone. Loneliness becomes your enemy, and Mr. Silence is too noisy to be with. But there are still things you can do to feel happy with your own company.  Indeed, real fulfillment in life begins when you can be hand in hand with your own self.

Back to the Start

I think it is time to go back to the start. Don’t you think?

Yes We Can Can

Yes we can.

Now is the time

Now is the time for all good men
To get together with one another
Iron out our problems
And iron out our quarrels
And try to live as brothers
And try to find a piece within
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Just remember you all have mothers
Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
I know we can make it
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can’t we
If we wanna get yes we can can
I know we can make it a world
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, great, got your money
Yes we can, I know we can can

Take care of the children
The children of the world
They’re our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls

Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can’t we
If we wanna get yes we can can
I know we can make it a world
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, great, got your money
Yes we can, I know we can can

A gift from Costa Rica

This is what my other country Costa Rica did for Japan after the earthquake on march 11th. I was truly moved by this song. Thank you Costa Rica.

Can music shape the world and reveal its deepest secrets?

What does music have to say about existence or other mysteries? The world has told us to believe what can be explained with words and science, but for all those things that are just too big for these to handle, any form of art will do it for them. Arts has a wisdom hidden, that when we open our minds and hearts, we will be able to find the answer to so many things that can not be explained. Human knowledge does not necessarily have to be transmitted trough words or scientific facts. You can definitely give a lecture though arts.

Now, since music is pure vibrations and it travels through space and time faster than any other kind of art, it also affects human emotions and it connects us faster.

Here we need to open our minds a little bit and accept that if any kind of thought is there, is because it is “Real” or it can become something tangible, and that what art can reveal to us is another way of explaining reality. Its “subjectivity” is equal to the “subjectivity” of science in a sense, because any results will be different depending on the scientific method used or on where we put our attention. And of course it is a limited way for humans to understand a tiny reality about something. So for those unexplainable things, we still have the science of arts.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Dreams do come true. If happy little bluebirds fly, why can’t I?

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There’s a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can’t I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can’t I?
