“t.A.T.u. – All The Things She Said”

YouTube
“All the things she said
All the things she said

Running through my head

All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

This is not enough
I’m in serious shit, I feel totally lost

If I’m asking for help it’s only because

Being with you has opened my eyes

Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise?
I keep asking myself, wondering how

I keep closing my eyes but I can’t block you out

Want to fly to a place where it’s just you and me

Nobody else so we can be free
All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

This is not enough

This is not enough
All the things she said

All the things she said
And I’m all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed

They say it’s my fault but I want her so much

Want to fly her away where the sun and rain

Come in over my face, wash away all the shame

When they stop and stare – don’t worry me

‘Cause I’m feeling for her what she’s feeling for me

I can try to pretend, I can try to forget

But it’s driving me mad, going out of my head
All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

This is not enough

This is not enough
All the things she said

All the things she said
Mom they’re looking at me

Tell me what do you see?

Yes, I’ve lost my mind
Dad they’re looking at me

Will I ever be free?

Have I crossed the line?
All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

All the things she said

All the things she said

Running through my head

This is not enough

This is not enough
All the things she said

All the things she said”

Caught between the Devil (basic instincts) and a hard place (social norms)… 

Do you know the reason behind this band’s name? 

Are they both lesbians/lovers? 

Compare with “Pussy Riot”

The politics of sexuality, expressed in/as Art! 

Can sublimewe help to address such issues? If so, how? 

Adoramus Te

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Et in terra pax hominibus
Bonae voluntatis

(Glory to God in the highest

And on earth peace among men

Good will) 

Holy night dawns with the Savior’s light
Hope has come, born is the Chosen One
Mary’s heart treasures the Word of God
Child and King, great is the promise You bring

Adoramus Te Adoramus Te
Et Laudamus Te Et Laudamus Te
Adoramus Te Adoramus Te
Iesu Christe

(We adore Thee

And we praise Thee 

We adore Thee

Jesus Christ) 

Wise men bow before You as we do now
Son of man unfold Your sovereign plan
You hold the stars and You hold my heart
You have been, You are, You will be, Amen

Adoramus Te Adoramus Te
Et Laudamus Te Et Laudamus Te
Adoramus Te Adoramus Te
Iesu Christe
Iesu Iesu Iesu Christe

WOW! This has become one of my favorite Christmas songs, along with other similar ones, like “Pie Jesu” by Future of Forestry 

The Latin does add an exotic & divine flavor! 

No tradition, no innovation! 

The timing of Kohli’s declaration in the final test

Does India really deserve the No. 1 ICC test ranking? How many test matches or series have we won abroad, especially outside Asia? 

This England team has been a demoralized & spineless side, unlike the tough Australians. 

Sports journalism ~ writing philosophy! 

“Timing is everything!”

I agree. 

Grace (divine) as challenge and faith (human) as response. The resulting game as salvation! 

Here’s why mobile money is dramatically reducing poverty in Kenya

WOW! This is a good example of how technology and business (not necessarily conscientious or ‘ethical’),  working together can do a lot of good, sometimes even better & greater than governments. 

Development Economics and financial inclusion

I am learning more about finance nowadays, for personal reasons. I can see how money is not inherently a bad thing…

Ah! Just what I was looking for…… 😊

What’s the use of just gathering information without adding any meaning to it? 

I need the bridge of expert interpreters to help me make sense of my world. 

A big THANK YOU to the developer! 

Namaste 🙏

Refugees >> terrorists

Terrorists >> refugees? 

What good does it do the cause of the “Islamic State” to randomly massacre civilians in the developed world?? 

Were those German Christmas shoppers really ‘innocent’? Maybe this is the question the Jihadists want us to ask…! 

What truths do movies like “Elysium” & “Snowpiercer” try to bring out? 

Neglect ~ exploitation ~ brutalisation! 

The sociology & psychology of the demonic

The close connection between economics & law-&-order
