I remember listening to songs that my parents played on the record player. I would be in the living room playing while listening to some of them, while others were just background noise. But there was always a certain record they played that made me stop playing, just to listen, to look out the window and wonder what and who this artist was singing about. The words sounded so beautiful and pure, something I could easily imagine back then. As time passed by, age and experience clouded my imagination, things were not so beautiful and pure. They could never be like that; such thoughts are only for the poets and thespians to contemplate. While it is nice to hope for someone that could manifest such powerful emotion in a person's being, it is an ideal that is probable but not practical. Something we all look for, but never find, something we'd easily sell our souls for, yet settle for a compromise.
I've come to the conclusion though, that I don't give a damn. I'm not settling, call me an idiot (just not to my face cuz I'll break it), I'm placing all my bets on probablity, because by chance, I have aquired an unbeatable hand.
A toast to Camilo Sesto, I get it now.....
(Quieres Ser Mi Amante by Camilo Sesto)
"DECIR TE QUIERO DECIR AMOR NO SIGNIFICA NADA
LAS PALABRAS SINCERAS LAS QUE TIENEN VALOR SON
LAS QUE SALEN DEL ALMA
Y EN MI ALMA NACEN,SOLO PALABRAS BLANCAS
PREGUNTAS SIN RESPUESTAS LLENAS DE
ESPERANZAS..
UN AMOR COMO EL MIO NO SE PUEDE AHOGAR
COMO UNA PIEDRA EN UN RIO
UN AMOR COMO EL MIO NO SE PUEDE ACABAR
NI ESTANDO LEJOS TE OLVIDO,
Y NO SE PUEDE QUEMAR PORQUE ESTA HECHO
DE FUEGO,NI PERDER NI GANAR
PORQUE ESTE AMOR NO ES UN JUEGO.
(CORO)SUEÑOS QUE SON AMOR..
SON SUEÑOS QUE SON DOLOR.
YO NECESITO SABER SI QUIERES SER MI AMANTE..
ES BONITO REIR AMAR Y VIVIR TODO POR ALGUIEN
Y SI ES PRECISO SUFRIR LLORAR O MORIR TODO POR
ALGUIEN.
YO NECESITO SABER SI QUIERES SER MI AMANTE
YO NECESITO SABER SI QUIERES SER MI AMANTE.
REP.(CORO)
VIVIR O MORIR VIVIR O MORIR...
PERO CONTIGO..
VIVIR O MORIR VIVIR O MORIR
QUIERES SER MI AMANTE..... "

That's a beautiful song. I remember Camilo Cesto. I can recall my parent's 70's lp with his face on it.
My sister was in love with Camilo Sesto.
It is a great song, lately I feel like singing it to a certain someone.
Now, I think we all go through a stage when we walk away from our capability to be surprised by life, we become detached, but eventually we are able to appreciate peace and beauty again.
Lets hear it for the human spirit!
