Cuando "eramos" jóvenes


You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
Can we climb this mountain
I dont know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go
We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young
When you were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
You dont have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
(talks like a gentleman)
(like you imagined)
When you were young
I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

Hindenburg: El "Titanic" aéreo


6 de Mayo de 1937,

Treinta y seis personas mueren en la explosión del Hindenburg, probablemente a causa de una fuga de hidrógeno. Concedidos por el Conde Ferdinand von Zeppelin a comienzos de siglo, los zepelines son el orgullo de Alemania. En 1924 efectúan su primera travesía del Atlántico y se establecen dos líneas a Brasil y a Nueva York. En 1936 la Alemania nazi inaugura con gran pompa el Hindenburg, el mayor dirigible de todos los tiempos.
Verdadero Titanic de los aires, atrae a la alta sociedad internacional hasta su undécimo y último viaje.
La catástrofe del Hindenburg supuso dos hechos importantes. La primera fue el fin de la industria de los dirigibles, a pesar de no tener ningún accidente señalable en 8 años. La segunda es que fue el nacimiento de la "primicia informativa". En el pasado las noticias se relataban a posteriori, basándose en el testimonio de los supervivientes. Así en lo sucesivo, el público exigiría ver las noticias en tiempo real.
Ha nacido la noticia de última hora, que anucia de esta forma la próxima llegada de uno de los grandes inventos del s. XX: la Televisión.

La Superación Personal por Muse


"A la cima no se llega superando a los demas, sino superándose a sí mismo."



Change,

everything you are

and everything you were

your number has been called

fights, battles have begun

revenge will surely come

your hard times are ahead.

Best,

you've got to be the best

you've got to change the world

and you use this chance to be heard

your time is now.

Change,

everything you are

and everything you were

your number has been called

revenge will surely come

your hard times are ahead.

Best,

you've got to be the best

you've got to change the world

and you use this chance to be heard

your time is now.

Don't,

let yourself down

don't let yourself go

your last chance has arrived.

Best,

you've got to be the best

you've got to change the world

and you use this chance to be heard

your time is now.

Sin Perdón


" Ellos se casaron en St. Louis en 1870 y viajaron al Norte, a Kansas, donde él trabajó como agricultor y criador de cerdos. Ella le dió dos niños en los ocho años de su matrimonio y cuando ella murió, no estaba en sus manos como su madre podría haber esperado, no a causa de la viruela.
Algunos años más tarde, la Sra Ansonia Feathers hizo el viaje árduo al Condado de Hodgeman para visitar el último lugar de descanso de su única hija.
William Munny ya hacía mucho tiempo, había vendido el lugar y había desaparecido con los niños ... unos dijeron a San Francisco donde se rumoreaba que prosperó como comerciante de tejidos bajo un nombre diferente.
Y no había nada sobre la piedra para explicar a la Sra. Feathers por qué su única hija se había casado con un conocido ladrón y asesino, un hombre de disposición notoriamente viciosa y temperamental."

Efecto Placebo



Sucker love is heaven sent.
You pucker up, our passions spent.
My hearts a tart, your bodys rent.
My bodys broken, yours is spent.

Carve your name into my arm.
Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed.
Cuz theres nothing else to do,
Every me and every you.

Sucker love, a box I choose.
No other box I choose to use.
Another love I would abuse,
No circumstances could excuse.

In the shape of things to come.
Too much poison come undone.
Cuz theres nothing else to do,
Every me and every you.
Every me and every you,
Every me...he

Sucker love is known to swing.
Prone to cling and waste these things.
Pucker up for heavens sake.
Theres never been so much at stake.

I serve my head up on a plate.
Its only comfort, calling late.
Cuz theres nothing else to do,
Every me and every you.
Every me and every you,
Every me...he

Every me and every you,
Every me...he

Like the naked leads the blind.
I know Im selfish, Im unkind.
Sucker love I always find,
Someone to bruise and leave behind.

All alone in space and time.
Theres nothing here but what heres heres mine.
Something borrowed, something blue.
Every me and every you.
Every me and every you,
Every me...he

Every me and every you,
Every me...he (x4)
