...wait in the fire.

And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love
And the rain is falling and i believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain
I might leave,
Leave behind...


Jeff Buckley

Dreams.

When the music's over,
turn out the lights,
turn out the lights for the music is your special friend.
Dance on fire as it intends,
music's your only friend until the end, until the end, until the end.

Jim Morrison, 1968.

Padam, Padam

Cet air qui m'obsède jour et nuit
Cet air n'est pas né d'aujourd'hui
Il vient d'aussi loin que je viens
Traîné par cent mille musiciens
Un jour cet air me rendra folle
Cent fois j'ai voulu dire pourquoi
Mais il m'a coupé la parole
Il parle toujours avant moi
Et sa voix couvre ma voix

Edith Piaf, 1951.

Wings or Wind.

1# The little girl asked me if she could be an angel.
2# They all want wings.
1# I never know what to say...
2# Tell them the truth. Angels aren't human. We were never human.
1# What if I just make her a little pair of wings out of paper?
2# Tell her the truth.
1# I told her.
2# How did she take it?
1# She said: "What good would wings be if you couldn't feel wind on your face?"


In City of Angels (1998).

Dead Man Walking.




























Dead Man Walking (1995).
A caring nun receives a desperate letter from a death row inmate trying to find help to avoid execution for murder. Over the course of the time to the convict's death, the nun begins to show empathy, not only with the pathetic man, but also with the victims and their families. In the end, that nun must decide how she will deal with the paradox of caring for that condemned man while understanding the heinousness of his crimes.
Directed by Tim Robbins. With Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon.
Excelente filme.
