Field Commander Aurelian he was our most important spy.
Wounded in the line of duty,
parachuting acid into diplomatic cocktail parties,
urging Fidel Castro to abandon fields and castles.
Leave it all and like a man,
come back to nothing special,
such as waiting rooms and ticket lines,
silver bullet suicides,
and messianic ocean tides,
and racial roller-coaster rides
and other forms of boredom advertised as poetry.
I know you need your sleep now,
I know your life's been hard.
But many men are falling,
where you promised to stand guard.
I never asked but I heard you cast your lot along with the poor.
But then I overheard your prayer,
that you be this and nothing more
than just some grateful faithful woman's favourite singing millionaire,
the patron Saint of envy and the grocer of despair,
working for the Yankee Dollar.
I know you need your sleep now ...
Ah, lover come and lie with me, if my lover is who you are,
and be your sweetest self awhile until I ask for more, my child.
Then let the other selves be wrong, yeah, let them manifest and come
till every taste is on the tongue,
till love is pierced and love is hung,
and every kind of freedom done, then oh,
oh my love, oh my love, oh my love,
oh my love, oh my love, oh my love.
Eric Patrick Clapton CBE is an English guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter. He is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist, and separately as a member of The Yardbirds and Cream.
By the time Eric Clapton launched his solo career with the release of his self-titled debut album in mid-1970, he was long established as one of the world's major rock stars due to his group affiliations -- the Yardbirds, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, and Blind Faith -- which had demonstrated his claim to being the best rock guitarist of his generation. That it took Clapton so long to go out on his own, however, was evidence of a degree of reticence unusual for one of his stature. And his debut album, though it spawned the Top 40 hit "After Midnight," was typical of his self-effacing approach: it was, in effect, an album by the group he had lately been featured in, Delaney & Bonnie & Friends.
Not surprisingly, before his solo debut had even been released, Clapton had retreated from his solo stance, assembling from the D&B&F ranks the personnel for a group, Derek & the Dominos, with whom he played for most of 1970 and recorded the landmark album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. Clapton was largely inactive in 1971 and 1972, due to heroin addiction, but he performed a comeback concert at the Rainbow Theatre in London on January 13, 1973, resulting in the album Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert (September 1973). But Clapton did not launch a sustained solo career until July 1974, when he released 461 Ocean Boulevard, which topped the charts and spawned the number one single "I Shot the Sheriff."
The persona Clapton established over the next decade was less that of guitar hero than arena rock star with a weakness for ballads. The follow-ups to 461 Ocean Boulevard, There's One in Every Crowd (March 1975), the live E.C. Was Here (August 1975), and No Reason to Cry (August 1976), were less successful. But Slowhand (November 1977), which featured both the powerful "Cocaine" (written by J.J. Cale, who had also written "After Midnight") and the hit singles "Lay Down Sally" and "Wonderful Tonight," was a million-seller. Its follow-ups, Backless (November 1978), featuring the Top Ten hit "Promises," the live Just One Night (April 1980), and Another Ticket (February 1981), featuring the Top Ten hit "I Can't Stand It," were all big sellers.
Clapton's popularity waned somewhat in the first half of the '80s, as the albums Money and Cigarettes (February 1983), Behind the Sun (March 1985), and August (November 1986) indicated a certain career stasis. But he was buoyed up by the release of the box set retrospective Crossroads (April 1988), which seemed to remind his fans of how great he was. Journeyman (November 1989) was a return to form. It would be his last new studio album for nearly five years, though in the interim he would suffer greatly and enjoy surprising triumph. On March 20, 1991, Clapton's four-year-old son was killed in a fall. While he mourned, he released a live album, 24 Nights (October 1991), culled from his annual concert series at Royal Albert Hall in London, and prepared a movie soundtrack, Rush (January 1992). The soundtrack featured a song written for his son, "Tears in Heaven," that became a massive hit single.
In March 1992, Clapton recorded a concert for MTV Unplugged that, when released on an album in August, became his biggest-selling record ever. Two years later, Clapton returned with a blues album, From the Cradle, which became one of his most successful albums, both commercially and critically. Crossroads, Vol. 2: Live in the Seventies, a box set chronicling his live work from the '70s, was released to mixed reviews. In early 1997, Clapton, billing himself by the pseudonym "X-Sample," collaborated with keyboardist/producer Simon Climie as the ambient new age and trip-hop duo T.D.F. The duo released Retail Therapy to mixed reviews in early 1997.
Clapton retained Climie as his collaborator for Pilgrim, his first album of new material since 1989's Journeyman. Pilgrim was greeted with decidedly mixed reviews upon its spring 1998 release, but the album debuted at number four and stayed in the Top Ten for several weeks on the success of the single "My Father's Eyes." In 2000, Clapton teamed up with old friend B.B. King on Riding with the King, a set of blues standards and material from contemporary singer/songwriters. Another solo outing, entitled Reptile, followed in early 2001. Three years later, Clapton issued Me and Mr. Johnson, a collection of tunes honoring the Mississippi-born bluesman Robert Johnson. Released in 2005, Back Home, Clapton's 14th album of original material, reflected his ease with fatherhood. Also in 2005, Clapton unexpectedly teamed with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker for a Cream reunion that included May concerts at London's Royal Albert Hall and shows at New York's Madison Square Garden in October, with the former being compiled for a live release that fall.
This turned out to be the first of many reunions and looks back for Clapton. In 2006, he elevated the profile of his latter-day idol J.J. Cale by recording an album-long duet, The Road to Escondido. The following year he released his autobiography -- accompanied by a new career compilation called The Complete Clapton -- which focused more on his trials with addiction and subsequent recovery than his musical career. In 2008, Clapton began playing regular shows with his old Blind Faith partner Steve Winwood, gigs that were captured on the 2009 double-live set Live from Madison Square Garden. Winwood also appeared on Clapton's next studio album, 2010's Clapton, which was a collaboration-heavy affair also featuring Cale, Sheryl Crow, Allen Toussaint, and Wynton Marsalis. In 2011, Clapton returned the favor to Marsalis by collaborating on the live concert album Play the Blues: Live from Jazz at Lincoln Center

Oh....
My dance,
Is getting slower now,
My years, they're getting...
older now.
And... my eyes....
They won't cry
My tears have all run dry!
And my memory ..!
Huh...
So,Will you please?
Believe!!!
I'm not the person you see,
I left that body long ago.
I left it way back there,
Way back then..
So...
Why, Goodbye?!
But there's more,
Something more than meets the eye!
I just wanted you to know,
This is not the end,
This is only goodbye!!!
You were my world and my life.
''Trebuie sa ti aceasta parte a ta, secreta! Ce trebuia sa fac..., sa-l privesc murind?! Poate....!'' Cuvinte ale unui dialog plin de emotie intre tatal pamantean Jonathan Kent interpretat de magistralul Kevin Kostner si tanarul Clark care tocmai salvase un coleg de la moarte, expunandu-se. Asa incep primele secvente ''Man Of Steel'', noul trailer din seria Superman. Tanarul regizor Zack Snyder revizualizeaza vechea si obosita poveste a baiatului cosmic trimis de catre parintii sai Kryptonieni pe o planeta straina, Tera, pentru a nu pieri in cataclismului care va distruge lumea natala. Creste intr-o familie de oameni modesti financiar, niste fermieri, Jonathan si Martha Kent, dar cu un suflet nobil. Superman devine o figura dumnezeiasca. Da, nu glumesc! Capabil si disponibil oricand pt sacrificiul suprem in scopul binelui, pe care il vede chiar si in cea mai intunecata inima. La fel precum Providenta care isi are tronul in soare, si Superman se odihneste in razele stelei galbene.
Ca orice film care se respecta, soundtrack-ul este unul impecabil. Lissa Gerrad si Patrick Cassidy te transpun intr-o noua dimensiune prin stilul lor muzical de geniu!
Cat despre distributie, orice comentarii sunt de prisos: Russel Crowe, Amy Adams, Henry Cavill, Kevin Kostner, Laurence Fishburne si multi altii...
Atat doar, nu doresc sa va dezvalui prea multe si va invit sa urmariti filmul.
"Start again", I heard them say Don't dwell on what has passed away Or what is yet to be
Ah, the wars they will be fought again The holy dove, she will be caught again Bought and sold and bought again The dove is never free
Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in
We asked for signs, the signs were sent The birth betrayed, the marriage spent Yeah, the widowhood of every government Signs for all to see
I can't run no more with that lawless crowd While the killers in high places say their prayers out loud But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud
Nu. nu-mi este usor Sa vindec inima, De unde sa incep? Unde....oare? imi lipsesti...de multe ori... Dar, cred ca... asa va fi.. ...mult timp... Iar cand la tine ma gandesc Inima-mi sta pe loc!!!

AM fost in bratele TALE Gandidu-ma ca acolo imi e locul M-am gandit ca ARE SENS Sa-mi CONSTRUIESC un gard Sa-mi construiesc o casa Gandidu-ma ca o sa fiu puternic acolo Dar am fost un PROST JUCAND dupa REGULI.
Zeii pot sa arunce un zar Mintile lor sa fie reci ca gheata Si cineva aici jos Pierde pe cineva drag.
Castigatorul ia tot Pierzatorul trebuie sa cada E SIMPLU si BANAL Nu am de ce sa ma plang.
Dar spune-mi daca te SARUTA Cum te sarutam eu? Simti acelasi FIOR? Cand iti SOPTESTE numele?
Undeva in adancul SUFLETULUI Trebuie sa stii ca mi-e DOR de tine Dar ce pot sa spun Regulile trebuie RESPECTATE!!!

Vesnic cu privirea Iubirea stii sa imi dai Cand primul gand al zorilor Mi-l dai, Mi-e ziua Rai Iar seara mi-aduci dorul Nu pot sa nu-l culeg Si in glas pui mangaierea Si al tau suflet Tot si intreg. Lacrimile mele Au pierit de mult T u m-ai sarutat Si s-au topit.. Cu noi lumea a-nceput, Viata mea e si a ta Si in schimb pe a ta mi-o dai Inapoi n-ai cum s-o iei Mereu alaturi ai sa-mi stai.. Ce mare putere Ce ma va invata Sa iau fericirea Dar sa o si daruiesc, E dragostea mea.
Tu inimii esti soare Ca intr-un vis vom sui Pe-al razei fir de roua Ce ne leaga in veci...
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight, I've never seen you shine so bright, I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance, They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance, And I have never seen that dress you're wearing, Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes, I have been blind;
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek, There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I want to be, But I hardly know this beauty by my side, I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight, I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing, I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side, And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away, And I have never had such a feeling, Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight;
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek, There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I want to be, But I hardly know this beauty by my side, I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I never will forget the way you look tonight. The lady in red, the lady in red, The lady in red, my lady in red,
