A Hard Rain's Falling Down

Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

L.O.V.E. part 2

I've said in the past, on a previous post (L.O.V.E) that "We choose what to make of life, we choose what to learn from a movie, and we choose what is love and compassion for us. It doesn't have to be the Hollywood ditsy-careless-naive love. It can be dependant or harsh or hopeful-yet-realistic love." and concluded by saying that "I need to grow up and understand that I'm in charge of my life and I can choose a different kind of love to believe in: I choose to look at the bright side and not to expect too much of myself and of others, to always believe in the good side of men, to know that there are obstacles, and realise that there may not be a happy ending, but one can only grow from rock-bottom, and although it's scary down there - the feeling of love is worth it."

Allow me to confess a bit: when I wrote these things, it was more wishful-thinking than already an feta compli, hoping that one day I'll be able to do that switch and grow up at last. But today I can safely say that I believe in that whole-heartedly now, and I love like that. That's another thing I can say I've already accomplished this year, and it wasn't even intentionally, which makes it even better. I love and expect more realistically, knowing that there will be ups and downs, but I focus more on the journey, on enjoying the relationship itself, other than preoccupying myself with what will be and my insecurities. I'm a bit ditsy, but already know better, I am not as idealistic, but I know we'll overcome it, and above all - I'm not as naive, but instead very hopeful..


And you know what? I believe that love is incredible all by itself, and I'm gonna enjoy it like hell...

Purple Rain, Let it Rain

It's raining like hell and I'm walking around with an unexplained and huge smile on my face. Disturbing you might say, how can she love rain?.. Well I do, because when it rains it's like the world is purifying itself, sending to the gutters all negativity, pain and sorrow. And after that - a new world is borne, giving you new hope, new and naive joy and peacefulness, and the belief that now everything's gonna be ok.

Have a new and wonderful year everybody!! I know I will :)



Feliz Navidad!!

Merry Christmas everyone! In the spirit of this beautiful holiday, that this year accidentally fell on another joyful holiday (Hanukkah), a friend of mine organized a christmas party in which we decorated a tiny tree and drank eggnog..

And what a wonderful holiday/weekend it's been.. Kicking off with a 60's MOD party at a friend's house, continuing with a trip to the south with my love (and about 40 more people) to watch the stars and freeze our asses off, and finishing with the christmas party at another friend's house, and a kiss. Can a girl really ask for more?..

I'm adding a link to one of the best songs ever (in it's best version ever), so have a happy holiday, wherever you are, and remember - the new year is around the corner, and it's time to do our "to do" lists! I'm off to do mine.


btw - thank's Shani for the pictures from the 60's party!

Artsy-fartsy and a Song

Now that I've settled down a bit in my new place, I feel like it's time to get back to what's really important - fashion!! Well, I got a bit over-excited so I chose the more artistic direction for this photoshoot. The view from the afternoon from my apartment is the lovely background and the outfit is one of my favorites - a skirt with a vest.. What a killer combination ;)

Anyway, to perfect the post, I add the following song by Monti Fiori.. enjoy!
