Emerson, Lake, and Palmer is one of my favorites of 70s, especially with the song C’est La Vie which was created in far 1977 becoming one of their most strange and outstanding compositions.

Keith Emerson (keyboards), Greg Lake (bass guitar, vocals, guitar) and Carl Palmer (drums, percussion)

C’est la vie
Have your leaves all turned to brown
Will you scatter them around you
C’est la vie.

Do you love
And then how am I to know
If you don’t let your love show for me
C’est la vie.

(Chorus) Oh, oh, c’est la vie.
Oh, oh, c’est la vie.
Who knows, who cares for me…
C’est la vie.

In the night
Do you light a lover’s fire
Do the ashes of desire for you remain.

Like the sea
There’s a love too deep to show
Took a storm before my love flowed for you
C’est la vie

(Chorus) Oh, oh, c’est la vie.
Oh, oh, c’est la vie.
Who knows, who cares for me…
C’est la vie.

Like a song
Out of tune and out of time
All I needed was a rhyme for you
C’est la vie.

Do you give
Do you live from day to day
Is there no song I can play for you
C’est la vie.

(Chorus) Oh, oh, c’est la vie.
Oh, oh, c’est la vie.
Who knows, who cares for me…
C’est la vie.

I do not sleep tonight
I might not ever
The sins of the past have come
See how they sit down together

Outside my window
Outside my door
And I know the reason
What they’ve all come here for

You my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it’s all, because of

Surrender is easy
I know you do me no harm
But your innocence haunts me
The most fatal of charms

Oh I must have done some wrong
On a dark and distant day
For I know full and well tonight
This is how that I must pay

And you my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it’s all, because of
You my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it’s all because of

There are songs I love and will love always. One of them is ‘Old and Wise’ by Alan Parsons Project.

The Alan Parsons Project
Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons
Lead Vocal: Colin Blunstone

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those i left behind
I wanted you to know
You’ve always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where i go

And oh when i’m old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if i knew you
I’d smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when i’m old and wise

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those i leave behind
I want you all to know
You’ve always shared my darkest hours
I’ll miss you when i go

And oh, when i’m old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like autumn winds that will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a frined of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when i’m old and wise

As far as my eyes can see

Nuclear arms in the Middle East
Israel is attacking the Iraqis
The Syrians are mad at the Lebanese
And Baghdad does whatever she please
Looks like another threat to world peace
For the envoy

Things got hot in El Salvador
CIA got caught and couldn’t do no more
He’s got diplomatic immunity
He’s got a lethal weapon that nobody sees
Looks like another threat to world peace
For the envoy
Send the envoy
Send the envoy

Whenever there’s a crisis
The President sends his envoy in
Guns in Damascus
Oh, Jerusalem

Nuclear arms in the Middle East
Israel is attacking the Iraqis
The Syrians are mad at the Lebanese
And Baghdad do whatever she please
Looks like another threat to world peace
For the envoy
Send the envoy . . .
Send for me

The entire list of Rolling Stone Top 10 gitarists includes:
Jimi Hendrix
Eric Clapton,
Jimmy Page,
Keith Richards,
Jeff Beck,
B.B. King,
Chuck Berry,
Eddie Van Halen,
Duane Allman
Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend of The Who writes, “I feel sad for people who have to judge Jimi Hendrix on the basis of recordings and film alone; because in the flesh he was so extraordinary…When he would walk toward the stage, nobody would really take much notice of him. But when he walked off, I saw him walk up to some of the most covetable women in the world. Hendrix would snap his fingers, and they followed him. Onstage, he was very erotic as well…There was a sense of wanting to possess him and wanting to be a part of him, to know how he did what he did because he was so powerfully affecting.”

The new documentary film ‘Living In The Material World’ directed by Martin Scorsese and dedicated to Beatles and especially George Harrison has been released by BBC. According to WIKI this is “Harrison’s story from his early life in Liverpool, the success of Beatlemania, his travels to India, the influence of Indian culture in his music, and his relevance and importance as a member of The Beatles. It will consist of previously unseen footage and interviews with Olivia and Dhani Harrison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono, Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Eric Idle, Phil Spector and Tom Petty.”

Yes, all of us are waiting for the miracle which will come. This is truth. But you know very often waiting and preparing to face a miracle you dont see that the miracle may be very close to you but you just cant take measure, appraise it. LEONARD COHEN. WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE.

Baby, I’ve been waiting,
I’ve been waiting night and day.
I didn’t see the time,
I waited half my life away.
There were lots of invitations
and I know you sent me some,
but I was waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
I know you really loved me.
but, you see, my hands were tied.
I know it must have hurt you,
it must have hurt your pride
to have to stand beneath my window
with your bugle and your drum,
and me I’m up there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

Ah I don’t believe you’d like it,
You wouldn’t like it here.
There ain’t no entertainment
and the judgements are severe.
The Maestro says it’s Mozart
but it sounds like bubble gum
when you’re waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

Waiting for the miracle
There’s nothing left to do.
I haven’t been this happy
since the end of World War II.

Nothing left to do
when you know that you’ve been taken.
Nothing left to do
when you’re begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
when you’ve got to go on waiting
waiting for the miracle to come.

I dreamed about you, baby.
It was just the other night.
Most of you was naked
Ah but some of you was light.
The sands of time were falling
from your fingers and your thumb,
and you were waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

Ah baby, let’s get married,
we’ve been alone too long.
Let’s be alone together.
Let’s see if we’re that strong.
Yeah let’s do something crazy,
something absolutely wrong
while we’re waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

Nothing left to do
when you know that you’ve been taken.
Nothing left to do
when you’re begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
when you’ve got to go on waiting
waiting for the miracle to come.

When you’ve fallen on the highway
and you’re lying in the rain,
and they ask you how you’re doing
of course you’ll say you can’t complain –
If you’re squeezed for information,
that’s when you’ve got to play it dumb:
You just say you’re out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

Bonnie Tyler is most notable for her worldwide hits in the 1970s and 1980s such as “It’s a Heartache” but till now she is well known worldwide as one of rock and roll’s most appealing artists.

It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it’s too late
Hits you when you’re down

It’s a fool’s game
Nothing but a fool’s game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he let’s you down

It ain’t right with love to share
When you find he doesn’t care, for you
It ain’t wise to need someone
As much as I depended on, you

It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it’s too late
Hits you when you’re down

Its a fool’s game
Nothing but a fool’s game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It ain’t right with love to share
When you find he doesn’t care, for you
It ain’t wise to need someone
As much as I depended on, you

It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down

It’s a fool’s game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It’s a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down

It’s a fool’s game
Standing in the cold rain

Czekasz na t? jedn? chwil?,
serce jak szalone bije,
zrozumia?em, po co ?yj?,
wiem, ?e czujesz to co ja.

Ej, za krótko trwa godzina,
niech si? chwila ta zatrzyma,
moim szcz??ciem chc? nakarmi?
calutki ?wiat, zdziwiony tak.

Wielka mi?o?? nie wybiera,
czy jej chcemy nie pyta nas wcale,
wielka mi?o??, wielka si?a
zostajemy jej wierni na zawsze

Min? lata, gwiazdy zgasn?,
fotografie w g?owie zgasn?,
gdy nas ludzka z?o?? roz??czy
jak i tak odnajd? Ci?,
kiedy rozum ka?e zw?tpi?,
czekaj, zadr?y ?wiecy p?omie?
bo po drugiej rzeki stronie,
jak dobrze wiem, tam ogród jest.
