Jamiroquai: Corner Of The Earth

Little darlin' don't you see the sun is shining
Just for you, only today
If you hurry you can get a ray on you, come with me, just to play
Like every humming bird and bumblebee
Every sunflower, cloud and every tree
I feel so much a part of this
Nature's got me high and it's beautiful
I'm with this deep eternal universe
From death until rebirth

This corner of the earth is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play
On the face of it I'm blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me
So inspired of that there's nothing left to do or say
Think I'll dream, 'til the stars shine

The wind it whispers and the clouds don't seem to care
And I know inside, that it's all mine
It's the chorus of the breakin' dawn
The mist that comes before the sun is born
To a hazy afternoon in May
Nature's got me high and it's so beautiful
I'm with this deep eternal universe from death until rebirth

You know that this corner of the earth is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play
On the face of it I'm blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me
I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me

This corner of the earth, is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play
On the face of it I'm blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me

Frankfurt de Janeiro

Arrival scheduled for tomorrow.

Juli: Regen und Meer

Du bist nicht wie ich,
doch das ändert nicht,
dass du bei mir bist
und ich zuseh wie du schläfst.

Du bist noch längst nicht wach,
ich wars die ganze Nacht
und hab mich still gefragt,
was du tust, wenn ich jetzt geh.

Und dann verlass ich deine Stadt.
Ich seh zurück und fühl mich schwer,
weil grade angefangen hat,
was du nicht willst und ich zu sehr.
Ich bin der Regen und du bist das Meer

Ich hab gedacht, ich kann es schaffen,
es zu lassen,
doch es geht nicht.

Habs´n bisschen übertrieben,
dich zu lieben,
doch es geht nicht.

Nichts unversucht gelassen,
dich zu hassen,
doch es geht nicht.
Es geht nicht.

Ich bin nicht wie du,
ich mach die Augen zu
und lauf blindlings durch die Straßen,
hier bin ich, doch wo bist du?

Soll das alles sein?
Ich war so lang allein,
es war alles ganz in Ordnung,
ganz ok und dann kamst du.

Und jetzt verlass ich deine Stadt.
Ich seh zurück und fühl mich schwer,
weil grade angefangen hat,
was du nicht willst und ich zu sehr.
Ich bin der Regen und du bist das Meer

Ich hab gedacht, ich kann es schaffen,
es zu lassen,
doch es geht nicht.

Habs´n bisschen übertrieben,
dich zu lieben,
doch es geht nicht.

Nichts unversucht gelassen,
dich zu hassen,
doch es geht nicht.
Es geht nicht.

Ich bin der Regen, du das Meer.
Sanfter Regen regnet leise.
Ich bin der Regen, du das Meer.
Sanfter Regen zieht im Wasser große Kreise.

Ich hab gedacht, ich kann es schaffen,
es zu lassen,
doch es geht nicht.

Habs´n bisschen übertrieben,
dich zu lieben,
doch es geht nicht.

Nichts unversucht gelassen,
dich zu hassen,
doch es geht nicht.
Es geht nicht.

Ich hab gedacht ich kann es schaffen,
es zu lassen.

Flight

Yesterday, I made the tandem flight, again :)

Linkin Park: In the end

It starts with
One thing, I don’t know why
It doesn’t even mather how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down ’till the end of the day
Clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
You didn’t look out below,
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryn’ to hold on
Didn’t even know, I wasted it all
Just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it’s meant to be
Will, eventually be,
A memory of a time,
When I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter...
I had to fall, to loose it all...
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter...

One thing, I don’t know why
It doesn’t even mather how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To remind myself
How I tried so hard...
Dispite the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so far
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end...

You kept everything inside
And even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to be, will
Eventually, be a memory of a time
When I tried so hard,
And got so far,
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall, to loose it all
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter

I’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far, as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know

I’ve put my trust, in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know...
I tried so hard,
And got so far,
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall, to loose it all,
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter

Back to Rio

Hullo,

now I am again in "Cidade Maravilhosa" and I will stay here until saturday when my flight back takes place.
The most important thing is the elevator software update that took place.
Now it only stops on the 6th floor and on the ground floor.
Unfortunately there is no backup for the old software available...

Expected highlights this week is "Rio Rock" concert and a paragliding jump 8-)

America: A horse with no name

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
’cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
’cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain

After nine days I let the horse run free
’cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings

The ocean is a desert with it’s life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
’cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain

CPM22: Um minuto para o fim do mundo

Me sinto só,
Mas quem é que nunca se sentiu assim
Procurando um caminho pra seguir,
Uma direção - respostas
Um minuto para o fim do mundo,
Toda sua vida em 60 segundos
Uma volta no ponteiro do relógio pra viver

O tempo corre contra mim, sempre foi assim e sempre vai ser
Vivendo apenas pra vencer a falta que me faz você
De olhos fechados eu tento esconder a dor agora
Por favor entenda, eu preciso ir embora porque

Quando estou com você
Sinto meu mundo acabar,
Perco o chão sob os meus pés
Me falta o ar pra respirar
E só de pensar em te perder por um segundo,
Eu sei que isso é o fim do mundo

Volto o relógio para trás tentando adiar o fim,
tentando esconder o medo de te perder quando me sinto assim
De olhos fechados eu tento enganar meu coração
Fugir pra outro lugar em uma outra direção porque

Quando estou com você
Sinto meu mundo acabar,
Perco o chão sob os meus pés
Me falta o ar pra respirar
E só de pensar em te perder por um segundo,
Eu sei que isso é o fim do mundo

Nice blog!

A really cool way to explain things:

I can't stop thinking

Comics will never cease to be important to me.

(link from Seth Godin)

Sao Paulo: explained extremely fast

Imagine Sim City in reality!
Now I finally know where they got the idea for that game.

I`ll stay just one day longer..

Spontaneous hotel change

Oiii,

yesterday I moved away from downtown to a hotel at better place.
Now I am staying nearer to where the pretty people live :)

Also the restaurants and streets make a far better impression.

I made some fotos but don't be afraid: I am not posing on them ;-)

Robbie Williams: Feel

Come on hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living.
Not sure I understand,
This role I’ve been given.

I sit and talk to god
And he just laughs at my plans,
My head speaks a language, I don’t understand.

(chorus)
I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
’cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins, going to waste.

I don’t wanna die,
But I ain’t keen on living either.
Before I fall in love,
I’m preparing to leave her.
I scare myself to death,
That’s why I keep on running.
Before I’ve arrived, I can see myself coming.

(chorus)
I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
’cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins, going to waste.

And I need to feel, real love
And a life ever after.
I cannot get enough.

(instrumental)

(chorus)
I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in,
I got too much love,
Running through my veins, going to waste.

I just wanna feel real love,
In a life ever after
There’s a hole in my soul,
You can see it in my face, it’s a real big place.

(instrumental)

Come and hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living,
Not sure I understand,
This role I’ve been given

Not sure I understand.
Not sure I understand.
Not sure I understand.
Not sure I understand.

Re-Scheduling

I will stay just a few days longer in Sao Paulo.
Imagine, this is a big city where people really LIVE!!
Since no one is waiting in Rio (so uma praia onde eu vou ficar sozinho..e meus 200 pitos..) this makes more sense to me.

I have just to be there when my flight back takes place :)

Arrival in Sao Paulo

No time to blog extensively, so just the facts.

  • my room 1803 is on the 18.th floor
  • a heliport is in front of my window (!!) on the roof of the building on the other side of the street
  • while there have not been a landing taking place, you can hear the helicopters almost constantly flying around and can see them pretty often (nice way to avoid traffic jam...)
  • the street is FULL of people although today is not holiday



Planned return to Rio: Saturday
(scheduled: ChEmicAl mUsIc fEsTiVaL ! =B-> )

Moderne Zeiten: Brasil

http://www.manager-magazin.de/magazin/artikel/0,2828,352509,00.html

Wolfsheim: Kein zurück

Es gibt kein Weg zurück....

Weist Du noch wie es war,
Kinderzeit wunderbar.
Die Welt ist bunt und schön....

Bist Du irgendwann begreifst,
das nicht jeder Abschied heisst,
es gibt auch ein Wiedersehen....

Refrain: Immer vorwärts, Schritt um Schritt,
es gibt kein Weg zurück,
was jetzt ist wird nie mehr ungeschehen.
Die Zeit läuft uns davon,
was getan ist, ist getan,
was jetzt ist wird nie mehr so geschehen.

Es gibt kein Weg zurück.
Es gibt kein Weg zurück.

Ein Wort zuviel im Zorn gesagt,
ein Schritt zu weit nach vorn gewagt.
Schon ist es vorbei....

Was auch immer jetzt getan,
was ich gesagt hab, ist gesagt.
Was wie ewig schien ist schon Vergangenheit....

Refrain: Immer vorwärts, Schritt um Schritt,
es gibt kein Weg zurück,
was jetzt ist wird nie mehr ungeschehen.
Die Zeit läuft uns davon,
was getan ist, ist getan,
was jetzt ist wird nie mehr so geschehen.

Ach und könnt ich doch,
nur ein einz'ges Mal,
die Uhren rückwärts dreh'n.

Denn wie viel vom dem,
was ich heute weiß,
hätt ich lieber nie gesehen.

Es gibt kein Weg zurück.
Es gibt kein Weg zurück.
Es gibt kein Weg zurück.

Dein Leben dreht sich nur im Kreis,
so voll von weggeworfener Zeit.
Deine Träume schiebst Du endlos vor dir her....

Du willst noch leben irgendwann,
doch wenn nicht heute, wann denn dann ?
Denn irgendwann ist auch ein Traum zu lange her....

Refrain: (2x)
Immer vorwärts, Schritt um Schritt,
es gibt kein Weg zurück,
was jetzt ist wird nie mehr ungeschehen.
Die Zeit läuft uns davon,
was getan ist, ist getan,
was jetzt ist wird nie mehr so geschehen.

Ach und könnt ich doch,
nur ein einz'ges Mal,
die Uhren rückwärts dreh'n.

Denn wie viel vom dem,
was ich heute weiß,
hätt ich lieber nie gesehen.

Leaving Cidade Marvilhosa

The beaches are great and walking around feels like not have been away.

One special meeting has still not been possible to schedule.

Tomorrow I am going to leave Rio direction Sao Paulo.

I am still alive!

Oiiii!!!!

Hi friends,
how are you? Well since you are reading my blog I would like to give you a small update about my current situation in Rio.
The most important answer first: yes, I still have my wrist watch.
The second most important answer: yes, I bought 200 original Samba whistles (and it is still not allowed to use them extensively in the hotel..)

Ups...time over... see ya tomorrow, maybe....

Pitty: Máscara

Diga quem você é, me diga
Me fale sobre a sua estrada
Me conte sobre a sua vida

Tira, a máscara que cobre o seu rosto
Se mostre e eu descubro se eu gosto
Do seu verdadeiro jeito de ser

Ninguém merece ser só mais um bonitinho
Nem transparecer consciente ou inconsequente
Sem se preocupar em ser adulto ou criança
O importante é ser você

Mesmo que seja estranho, seja você
Mesmo que seja bizarro, bizarro, bizarro
Mesmo que seja estranho, seja você
Mesmo que seja...

Tira, a máscara que cobre o seu rosto
Se mostre e eu descubro se eu gosto
Do seu verdadeiro jeito de ser

Ninguém merece ser só mais um bonitinho
Nem transparecer consciente ou inconsequente
Sem se preocupar em ser adulto ou criança
O importante é ser você

Mesmo que seja estranho, seja você
Mesmo que seja bizarro, bizarro, bizarro
Mesmo que seja estranho, seja você
Mesmo que seja...

Meu cabelo não é igual
A sua roupa não é igual
Ao meu tamanho, não é igual
Ao seu caráter, não é igual
Não é igual, não é igual...

I had enough if it, but i don't care
I had enough if it, but i don't care
I had enough if it, but i don't care
I had enough if it, but i don't care

Diga quem você é, me diga
Me fale sobre a sua estrada
Me conte sobre a sua vida

E o importante é ser você
Mesmo que seja estranho, seja você
Mesmo que seja bizarro, bizarro, bizarro
Mesmo que seja estranho, seja você
Mesmo que seja bizarro, bizarro, bizarro
Mesmo que seja estranho, seja você
Mesmo que seja bizarro, bizarro, bizarro
Mesmo que seja estranho, seja você
