Covid and the war in Ukraine slowed me down with hits to my health and mood, but here I come back again with something completely differentâŠ
Paco Ibåñez - Palabras para Julia (1969)
Based upon a poem by Spanish poet JosĂ© AgustĂn Goytisolo, who wrote it for his newborn daughter Julia as a call for hope and resilience. JA Goytisolo struggled with depression for all his adult life after his mother was killed during the Spanish civil war while he was a child. Two poems written for his daughter Julia became songs and out of them two I decided to share this one.
Ghost is a tough nut to break into at times. Some albums I latch onto to, others I barely get past the second track.
This is latchable.

Rammstein - Zeit (2022)
English translated lyrics
Some things should be, some shouldnât
We see, but we are blind
We throw shadows without light
After us there will be a âpriorâ
Youth will turn into hardship
We keep dying until we live
We die alive to death
We are drifting towards the end
No rest, only striving forward
Infinity waves on the shore
Caught in the flow of time
Please stand still, stand still
Time
This should keep going forever
Warm body will soon turn cold
Future canât be conjured
Do not tolerate any stay
Create and immeaditely destroy
Iâm lying here in your arms
Oh, could it just be forever!
But time knows no mercy
Already, the moment is over
Time
Please stand still, stand still
Time
This should keep going forever
Time
Itâs so nice, so nice
Everybody knows
The perfect moment
Time
Please stand still, stand still
When our time has come
Itâs time to go
Stop when itâs most beautiful
The clocks stand still
The moment is so perfect
But time keeps ticking
Moment, please stay
Iâm not ready yet
Time
Please stand still, stand still
Time
This should keep going forever
Time
Itâs so nice, so nice
Everybody knows
The perfect moment
