Chris Rea zählt zu meinen Lieblingen. Seine Stimme und sein Gitarrenspiel sprechen mich an. 2005 hat er eine monumentale Box mit dem Titel "Blue Guitars" herausgebracht. Auf den 11 CD's und einer DVD spielt er Blues von seinen Anfängen und durch unterschiedlichste Stilrichtungen und Facetten. Ein Meisterwerk, das zudem noch sehr schön gestaltet ist. Hieraus stelle ich Euch den Longtrack "Too Far From Home" von der CD "Blue Guitars: Celtic & Irish Blues" vor. Hört einfach mal rein. Ich mag, wie gesagt seine Musik.

Ein traumhaft schöner Song. Ein weiterer schöner Song von Novalis ist Sommerabend.

Die schrecklichen Bilder aus Israel und dem Gaza veranlassten mich, diesen Song mal wieder hervorzuholen. Musikalisch gefiel mir der Song seit seinem Erscheinen. Erst jetzt habe ich mich mal etwas intensiver mit dem Text befasst. Der Song, der 2012 erschien, veranschaulicht das Leben im Gaza. Er ist kein "Hamas" freundlicher Song; allerdings beschreibt er die schwierigen Lebensbedingungen im Gazastreifen.




Eine Live Fassung



Gaza
When I was young it all seemed like a game
Living here brought no sense of shame
But now I'm older I've come to understand
Once we had houses
Once we had land
They rained down bullets on us as our homes collapsed
We lay beneath the rubble terrified
Hoping, dare we dream?
We gave up waiting
For us, to dream is still a dream
When I woke up, the house was broken stones
We suddenly had nothing
And nothing's changed
We live, eight people, in this overcrowded heat
Factory-farmed animals living in our own sweat
Living like this is all my baby brother ever knew
The world does nothing, what can we do?
We will kick the ball
We will skip the rope
We will play outside, be careful
We will paint and draw, we will say our prayers
Outside the pitiless sun bleaches the broken streets
The darkness drops in the evening like an iron door
The men play cards under torchlight
The women stay inside
Hell can erupt in a moment day or night
You ask for trouble if you stray too close to the wall
My father died feeding the birds
Mum goes in front of me to check for soldiers
For every hot-head stone ten come back
For every hot-head stone a hundred come back
For every rocket fired the drones come back
For thirteen years the roads have all been closed
We're isolated, we're denied medical supplies
Fuel and work are scarce, they build houses on our farms
The old men weep, the young men take up arms
We're packed like chickens in this town of block cement
I get headache from the diesel, when it rains, the sewers too
I had no idea what martyrdom meant
Until my older brother, my older brother
I'm sorry I can't continue
You sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind, it is said
When people know they have no future
Can we blame them if we cannot tame them?
And when their hopes and dreams are broken
And they feel they might as well be dead
As they go, will we forgive them
If they take us with them?
Stay close
Stay home
Stay calm
Have faith
With the love of our family we can rise above anything
Someday surely someone must help us
With the love of our family we can rise above anything
Someday surely someone must help us
Even now we will go to school
Even now we will dream to dream
Someday surely someone must help us
Nothing's ever simple, that's for sure
There are grieving mothers on both sides of the wire
And everyone deserves a chance to feel the future just might be bright
But any way you look at it, whichever point of view
For us to have to live like this
It just ain't right
It just ain't right
It just ain't right
We all want peace and freedom that's for sure
But peace won't come from standing on our necks
Everyone deserves a chance to feel the future just might be bright
But any way you look at this, whichever point of view
For us to have to live like this
It just ain't right
It just ain't right
It just ain't right
It's like a nightmare rose up slouching towards Bethlehem
Like a nightmare rose up from this small strip of land
Slouching towards Bethlehem
It's like a nightmare rose up from this small strip of land
Slouching towards Bethlehem
It's like a nightmare rose up from this small strip of land
Slouching towards Bethlehem
It's like a nightmare rose up from this small strip of land
Slouching towards Bethlehem
It's like a nightmare rose up, like a nightmare rose up
Slouching towards Bethlehem
I can't know what twist of history did this to me
It's like a nightmare
It's like a nightmare (With the love of our family)
(We can rise above everything)
Towards Bethlehem (Some day surely someone must help us)
Someday surely someone must help us
