LYRICS (Long version)

When I see your face or hear a name
Or I’m introduced to someone new
It doesn’t matter they’re all the same
And none of them is you

When I go to work or take a walk
And watch what other people do
I’ll listen to their idle talk
And none of them is you

[Chorus]
Where are you my dear?
Why I can’t hear you?
How I wish that you were here
How I long to be near you

Sometimes at night I’ll pass the time
Those endless sleepless towers[hours?] in bed
I’ll try to reconstruct your voice
But only hear their voice instead

They talk, they yell in that other voice
They flirt and whisper too
I’d love them if I had the choice
But none of them is you

[Chorus]

In a dream you came and held my hand
Our love was perfect in that sphere
The breeze was your whisper in that land
While the air stands still right here

No I’ve never met you my sweet dear
And my friends they say you don’t exist
But friends are cowards full of fear
Afraid to look at what they’d missed
One day I’ll be walking on the street
That crowded bustling faceless spread
I’ll turn the corner and we’ll meet
And I will be no longer dead [x2]

“Steve Jobs” movie review (4/5 – Super!)

Genius, obsession and cruelty!
Narcissism, megalomania, perfectionism, sociopath, etc.
Again… no pathology, no greatness (hero/champion).

Hmmm… seems like another good example of the early abandonment and adult charisma thesis (David Aberbach).

“Why do you want people to dislike you?
– I don’t want people to dislike me. I’m indifferent to whether they dislike me.
– Well…since it doesn’t matter? I always have.
– Really? I’ve always liked you a lot. That’s too bad.”

“What did you do?! What did you do?! Why has Lisa not heard of me?
– Shit, man, how many fourth-graders have heard of you?
– You can’t write code. You’re not an engineer, you’re not a designer, you can’t put a hammer to a nail. I built the circuit board, the graphical interface was stolen from Xerox PARC, Jeff Raskin was the leader of the Mac team before you threw him off his own project… everything! Somebody else designed the box! So how come 10 times in a day I read Steve Jobs is a genius? What do you do?”
– I play the orchestra. And you’re a good musician.”

Man, I love Fassbender (even more now)! And Boyle is great too.
And the inter-personal confrontations (4-5 delicious, explosive encounters at least) are just more gripping than most (violent) action scenes.

Reminds me (a little) of my own journey… the reproduction part may be in the future!?

What about the ending??
He just fades away, once he looks away from the spotlight, and starts moving toward her…!
