Upside Down World

Everything is upside down in today's world. Michael Ellner wrote it in this way; doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroys information and religions destroy spirituality.

Dancing Shiva

3½min.

In Hinduism is said that when Shiva, the destroyer, assumes the form of Natraj or the cosmic dancer, enclosed in a burning circle, his energy and enthusiasm destroy the old and create new life.

He´s represented standing on top of a demon, because has the power to conquer evil and spiritual ignorance.

Shiva's dance represents the energy that keeps the universe running and all the joys of creation, death, and rebirth; is also said that if he ever stops dancing, universe will cease to exist.

Learning to Fly

Another time lapse with dancing stars. The illusionary dance around our globe, where the movement and the stillness are at the same time confused and revealed.

Amazing Beauty

Give you a break, take a deep breath and open your view to the beauty. It is really there, just happens sometimes that we need to change our perspective to see it.



Anytime, we may be surprised at the beauty around us. Even we are not used to dayly notice such a miracle, it´s always there, right before our eyes.

The Clearings

The clearing of the woods is a centre into which it is not always possible to enter.. It is another kingdom that a soul inhabits and guards.. since it seems that the nothing and the void -or the nothing or the void- have to be present or latent continuously in human life. And as to not be devoured by the nothing or by the void you may have to create them in yourself .. I also center the heart because it is the only thing that from within our self gives away sound.. And only because of it, the privileged organisms that have it hear themselves. Only the faraway stars, pures, while they are inaccessible to their colonization, will provide the real image of an identical being to its life; innocent, as if it had only been created without having to be born.. It becomes deaf and mute in times, circunstancially, the heart.. It leaves then all place to the operations of the mind that move that way, without any assistance, abandoned to themselves.

Swimming

Émilie Simon


I was swimming across the sky
Clouds and angels by my side
Then I realized that I was lonely
And it wasn't such a good thing

I was flying in paradise
In that ocean of dead lights
I was looking for your smile in the wind
But there was nobody there this morning

I believe in your smile everyday
But I know that you're far from my way
When I talk to the moon I can hear you
In the dark I can see, I can feel your light

In Albert Einstein's words; the most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed.

Remind Me

Royksopp

4min.

Will remind, will remind, will remind me...

It's only been a week,
The rush of being home in rapid fading.
Prevailing to recall
What I was missing, all that time in England

Has sent me aimlessly,
On foot or by the help of transportation,
To knock on windows where
A friend no longer live, I had forgotten.

Will remind, will remind, will remind me...

And everywhere I go,
There's always something to remind me
Of another place and time
Where love that travelled far had found me.

We stayed outside til two,
Waiting for the light to come back,
But hid in talk I knew,
Until you asked what I was thinking.

Will remind, will remind, will remind me...

Brave men tell the truth,
A wise man's tools are analogies and puzzles,
A woman holds her tongue,
Knowing silence will speak for her.

So now I'll never know,
As you will only sleep beside me,
And everywhere I go...

Will remind, will remind, will remind me...

It's only been a week,
The rush of being home in rapid fading.
Prevailing to recall
What I was missing all that time in England

Has sent me aimlessly
On foot or by the help of transportation,
To knock on windows where
A friend no longer live, I had forgotten.

The Way

Almadrava

5min.

Tell me the way you want to live your life
Tell me the way you wish to share your time
Tell me the way you are, and more,
all what you want to be

Tell me the way you feel about me beside
Tell me the way you think about love,
when different worlds collide
Tell me the way you are before
I give you all my heart and close my eyes

Show me the way you smile when things go wrong
If any time you're weak I'll make you strong
(yes I'll be strong for you)
Show me the way you stand so close to me
oh promise me you'll never walk away

Show me the way you kiss, so soft, so deep
And the way you touch me with your skin
(and tell me what you wish)
Show me the way you love, you care, you give
I really need to feel you night and day

Life goes on, one way we walk,
Life goes on, on and on

Remember the way we were when dreams were gold
Remember the way we used to fight the cold
(and more can you)
Remember the way we broke the walls with love
No storm could ever stop us taking off

Can you see the way we changed from lovers to friends
What matters is the direction, not the end
(I don't want to see the end)
Remember the way we walked, so long
But now the past is gone and life goes on
