âŠand now, for something completely differentâŠ
Flash and the Pan - Waiting for a train (1982)
I was under the impression that I already had shared this one, but canât find it⊠or maybe it was before the Discourse abominationâŠ
Anyway, a blast from the past from 40 years ago!
PS: wait⊠maybe it was Midnight manâŠ? Let me checkâŠ
No, that neither. Well, here it comes, Flash and the Pan 2x1, straight from Australia and the 1980s!
Flash and the Pan - Midnight man (1984)
âŠso of course Ish had to remember that music video with a bycicle in it and a totally unrelated song which just cheers you upâŠ
Facto Delafé y las Flores Azules - Mar, el poder del mar (2009)
Translated lyrics
(her)
You say that I come, that I go
That I feel, that I listen, that I belong
That I can do a lot, that I tremble
That my eyes are clean, soft breeze
That you want me close
That you put distance in case you lose me
That the neighborhood is more beautiful since I arrived
That Iâm the flower that brightens up the garden
The wind that Ms. Moon takes with her to let the sun shine, my love
All I want to say today is
I feel the same for you
The same feeling for you
(Him)
Yes, yes, great
I love listening to you, I love feeling you
Seeing you move and surprising you suddenly
With tickles on your knees
Yes, yes, great
I love listening to you, I love feeling you
The neighborhood is more beautiful since you arrived
The sun shines in my heart today
My girl, my love, my sunshine
The road that leads me to your door brings me joy
Spring has arrived to the city
And you donât get how well it suits me, babe
Peaceful days pass by calmly
Your steps, my steps, combing the road
Whoever said the dead werenât coming back to life?
Today Iâm as clear as clean water
Your face, your house, your smiling eyes, my face
The breeze, the morning, the sun through my window
Peace, caresses, your breathing
Bells coming from the dining room
The clouds in the sky and a plane passing by
Draws a cotton white line
Your pillow, your eyes, your gaze
Iâm at your house, I love your house, I change colors
A plane passes by, draws a line, silver now
Silver, the medal for the runner-up
Today I win, you win, we both win
Today I win, you win, we both win
Today I win, you win, we both win
Today I win, you win, we both win
Today I win, you win
This doesnât end
This doesnât end
This doesnât end
This doesnât end
This doesnât end
This doesnât end
This doesnât end
This doesnât end

Los RelĂĄmpagos - Dulcinea (1965)
Los RelĂĄmpagos - Brazo de gitano (1976)
Back in the 1960s Spain had its own crop of bands playing instrumental themes similar to surf and garage rock music abroad, which would mix versions of classical and foreign themes with brand new compositions. Hereâs a couple of tunes from Madridean band Los RelĂĄmpagos.
PS: âbrazo de gitanoâ, literally âGypsyâs armâ, is the Spanish version of the cake known as a Swiss roll, which in Spain is filled traditionally with cream or marmalade and coated with powdered sugar
All of us remember our first love interest, our first EvE Online splash screen (if weâve played long enough), our first drink or smoke perhaps. I remember my first graphic MMO (Guild Wars), having âgraduatedâ from text MUDs and PC games. One of its strengths was its composer, Jeremy Soule.
