Leaving: sometimes the biggest proof of love

 It is not easy and it aches. It takes time and the process of understanding that leaving is the only solution despite all the love you have for the person is sad.
Leaving and letting go. Oh! It is not for everybody. Love is there but so many things are destroying it that in some situations the only exit is the door.

Be at peace my love! It was not our fault. I'm leaving cause I love you.

Saying goodbye to 2014: welcoming 2015 with "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppeling

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.

This is the song I did choose to say goodbye to 2014. The video is extremely edited creating an effect that people who were in the audience is part of a whole energy with the band.
"Peace and trust" for 2015 despite "them" all.

Robert Plant in Rio de Janeiro next October

I wish him a nice stay and a great tour. In October, 18 he will be in Rio and I'll not go because I don't like being in a crowded place to listen to music.

Of course he'll miss me but he'll have to overcome it. I'm sure he will.

Have a great weekend!

Fool in the rain by Led Zeppelin

Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining Like a star that can't wait for the night

I hate to think I've been blinded baby Why can't I see you tonight? And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin' And the thrill of your touch gives me fright And I'm shaking so much, really yearning Why don't you show up, make it all right? Yeah, it's all right. And if you promised you'd love so completely and you said you would always be true You swore that you would never leave me, baby: What ever happened to you? And you thought it was only in movies As you wish all your dreams would come true It ain't the first time believe me, baby I'm standin here feeling blue Yeah I'm blue Now I will stand in the rain on the corner I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown Another ten minutes no longer And then I'm turning around The clock on the wall's moving slower My heart it sinks to the ground And the storm that I thought would blow over Clouds the light of the love that I found Now my body is starting to quiver And the palms of my hands getting wet I've got no reason to doubt you baby, It's all a terrible mess I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah Light of the love that I found...

I know I promised not to post any Led Zeppelin but... only this one. Because it is about... love! we need love, love is all we need/ love is the answer... and "that bass solo makes LIFE worth it". as PennybagDarrell" said at Youtube. In 2007 Robert Plant sang this song with Eddie Vedder at Chicago but the sound of the video is terrible. I did a huge mistake at the post below. I was kinda sleeping, cause I did it in the middle of the night, and wrote "guess" instead of "guest" and it is in the title... I corrected but now it's too late. Maybe it was a freudian-sleep cause I was thinking "guess who will be the guest?". Have a great Sunday!

Update: June, 1

Whenever I heard what happens at 2.25 I thought: They heard Brazilian samba. It's impossible they didn't.

I finally did the search today. They did!

"Bass player John Paul Jones and vocalist Robert Plant developed the idea for the samba beat from watching the 1978 FIFA World Cup tournament in Argentina.[1] Guitarist Jimmy Page used an MXR Blue Box effect pedal during the solo to produce the octave sound."

It's good. Nice performance.

But you have no idea what it is to be next to a samba school battery. Body, mind and soul are touched.

Going to California: Trying to find a woman who's never, never, never been born

As the month is ending and I confessed being a fan :), I want to share this music and I will not publish Led Zeppelin any longer. This music is inspired by Joni Mitchell's "California", you can listen to this song too, as Robert and Jimmy were fans of her. A very beautiful collection of images was done by francescadonna for this very sweet, thou sad, song: "Spend my days with a woman unkind Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine Made up my mind, make a new start Goin' to California with an achin' in my heart Someone told me there's a girl out there With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair Took my chances on a big jet-plane Never let 'em tell ya that they're aw-ooh-all the same Hoh, the sea was red and the sky was grey I wonder how tomorrow could ever follow today-hee Mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake The children of the sun begin to awake Now Watch out It seems that the wrath of the gods got a punch on the nose And it's startin' to flow, I think I might be sinkin' Throw me a line, if I reach it in time Meet you up there where the path runs straight and high" Find a queen without a king They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, la-la-la-la Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born Standin' on a hill in the mountain of dreams Tellin' myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems."

Introducing Led Zeppelin

As I already declared here that I'm a fan I will share this video where 40 years ago Robert Plant, not yet with the unbuttoned shirt and the certainty he will show in the future, introduces the band. Two minutes and you will understand why young people today are rediscovering Led Zeppelin. It is a combination of four great musicians that complete each other something rare now. I especially dedicate this post to Bob Fiddaman.

Led Zeppelin- Kashmir and homage to John Paul Jones

 I am a Led Zeppelin fan as I have already confessed here but I never published any of their musics and thought I would not do so.

But today I feel like doing it and I did chose Kashmir because it is a music that has a kind of intensity that astonish many people and there is the orchestra with the violins that goes in a crescendo the reminds Ravel and a kind of magical or spiritual appeal. I am also dedicating this post to John Paul Jones the bass player because I think that his work is not well recognized. He is quite a musician and you can click at his photo to learn a little bit more about him. Led Zeppelin is a combination of four great musicians and it is rare.

Led Zeppelin's Fan listening to David Bowie

 I like Led Zeppelin very much but lately I have this song in my mind. I prefer to share this David Bowie version, he wrote the song "This is a song I'm very proud to have written.", but I also like Nirvana's.

This is a very beautiful video and a great performance, I think. He can park and will not be towed! Have a great weekend!! "Who knows? not me We never lost control"
