17 decembrie 1989

17 decembrie 1989.

Ziua-n care Armata şi-a ciuruit poporul în Timişoara. 

„Am văzut-o pe mama împuşcată în cap. Tata era ghemuit, nimerit în stomac“

The Ballad Of Bill Hubbard - REMEMBER

"The Ballad Of Bill Hubbard"

[Alf Razzell:]
"Two things that have haunted me most are the days when I had to collect the paybooks; and when I left Bill Hubbard in no-man's-land."
"I was picked up and taken into their trench. And I'd no sooner taken two or three steps down the trench when I heard a call,
'Hello Razz, I'm glad to see you. This is my second night here,' and he said
'I'm feeling bad,' and it was Bill Hubbard, one of the men we'd trained in England, one of the original battalion. I had a look at his wound, rolled him over; I could see it was probably a fatal wound. You could imagine what pain he was in, he was dripping with sweat; and after I'd gone about three shellholes, traversed that, had it been...had there been a path or a road I could have done better.
He pummeled me, 'Put me down, put me down, I'd rather die, I'd rather die, put me down.' I was hoping he would faint. He said 'I can't go any further, let me die.' I said 'If I leave you here Bill you won't be found, let's have another go.' He said 'All right then.' And the same thing happened; he couldn't stand it any more, and I had to leave him there, in no-man's-land."

LIFE FOR SALE - Prospekt's March / Poppyfields / COLDPLAY

I ask somebody what the time is

But time doesn't matter to them yet

People talking without speaking

Trying to take what they can get

 

I ask you if you remember



Prospekt, how could I forget?

 Don't you wish that life can be as simple

As fish swimming round in a barrel?

 

Oh, and I run,

here it comes,

We're just two little figures in a soup bowl

Trying to get to any kind of control

But I wasn’t one

 Now here I lie on my own in a separate sky...

......

On my own, here, tonight...

But here I lie

On my own in a separate sky...

Remember December 1989 - Romanian Revolution

România a fost singura țară din blocul estic care a trecut printr-o revoluție violentă și în care conducătorii comuniști au fost executați.

Statisticile victimelor revoluției din decembrie 1989 potrivit Ministerului Sănătății (aproximativ):

1104 morți și 3321 răniți (221 civili și 663 militari).

The Romanian Revolution of 1989 was a week-long series of increasingly violent riots and fighting in late December 1989 that overthrew the government of the totalitarian president Nicolae Ceauşescu. After a trial, Ceauşescu and his wife Elena were executed. Romania was the only Eastern Bloc country to overthrow its government forcefully or to execute its leaders.

~1104 dead and 3321 wounded

4th of July - Independence Day

.........
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
When I'm dancing,
I want to lead,
even if you all are spinning alone,
let's exercise a little control.
I'll show you how it's done right.
We form a nice round (circle),
freedom is playing on all the fiddles,
music is coming out of the White House,
and near Paris stands Mickey Mouse.

We're all living in America...
......
I know steps that are very useful,
and I'll protect you from missteps,
and anyone who doesn't want
to dance in the end,
just doesn't know that he has to dance!
We form a nice round (circle)
I'll show you the right direction,
to Africa goes Santa Claus,
and near Paris stands Mickey Mouse.
.......

We're all living in America,
Coca-Cola, sometimes WAR,
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
.......

This is not a love song,
this is not a love song.
