Alphaville - Forever Young (Acoustic Cover)
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man
Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden the faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the madman
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever

First Love
by John Clare
I ne’er was struck before that hour
With love so sudden and so sweet,
Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower
And stole my heart away complete.
My face turned pale as deadly pale,
My legs refused to walk away,
And when she looked, what could I ail?
My life and all seemed turned to clay.
And then my blood rushed to my face
And took my eyesight quite away,
The trees and bushes round the place
Seemed midnight at noonday.
I could not see a single thing,
Words from my eyes did start—
They spoke as chords do from the string,
And blood burnt round my heart.
Are flowers the winter’s choice?
Is love’s bed always snow?
She seemed to hear my silent voice,
Not love’s appeals to know.
I never saw so sweet a face
As that I stood before.
My heart has left its dwelling-place
And can return no more.

Milestones
Caught between the past and now
Torn by who I was,
and who I want to be
Too much buried, held within
the silence deep inside
A life adrift
Trying to remember
how to dream
Hoping there to find what’s real,
beneath the layers of me
Empty years are not enough,
they beg to be redeemed
A futile search for wisdom
in so many yesterdays
Sifting through the cracked and broken
pieces of the past
Echoes of those memories
chase ghosts within the walls
While tomorrow tries to whisper hope
of songs to still be sung
Note:
The words in the poem are mine, but the title of the post comes from this song, which was an 'anthem' of sorts for my friends and I in high school, and even all these MANY years later is still a favorite of mine. Although it resonates much differently now than it did back then...
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
Oh let it come true...
[Forever Young - Alphaville]

Antonio Canova "Hebe" 1796
Shannon
Hebe was the goddess of youth, daughter of Zeus and Hera. She was also cupbearer to Zeus and the gods (hence the jug she bears in this statue).
"Canova let Hebe glide from the clouds, pouring the wine she served to the gods. The weightless, rhythmically arranged drapes provide a sense of movement whilst the bared upper body adds to the sensuality of the youthful goddess."

I am not sure about the "wine". The Greek gods used to still their thirst with nectar and ambrosia - spending eternal youth to them.
Danzig, "How The Gods Kill"
On my way home I passed the skatepark and saw this newly painted graffiti - what a great sentiment.

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
And may you stay
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
And may you stay
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young
Songwriters: Kevin Stuart James Savigar, Jim Cregan, Robert Dylan, Stewart Rod
Sing along with Rod if you know the song.
"May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
with a prince or a vagabond
And may you never love in vain
and in my heart you will remain
Forever Young, Forever Young
And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever Young, Forever Young"

FOREVER YOUNG by JOAN BAEZ
For those of you who don't know the movie reference to Wilson
Movie clip from Cast Away of Tom Hanks and his friend Wilson :
www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHtgKIFoQfE
Though you are thousands of miles away
in a far-off land full of dreams
you are always in my thoughts and prayers
and I am in yours or so it seems
Do you remember the day Wilson set sail
on the open waves to you
he kept coming back to me that day
he was loyal, I'll give him his due
but finally he rose on the crest of a wave
and I watched him drift out of sight
I kept asking if he'd arrived on your shore
but he never turned up that night
nor the night after that and so it went on
a sign? who knows what it means
all I know is that Wilson is out there somewhere
perhaps he turned up in a can of sardines
Wherever he is and wherever he lands
I hope he'll avoid that Tom Hanks
who made a raft float with a portable loo
video tape, tree bark and planks
Happy Birthday to you my dear “old” friend
I hope you will have a great day
with a party, a cake and maybe a clown
or a magic act if I had my way
With an abracadabra; a swift wave of my wand
and a cake as big as a house
I hope you're insured; once all those candles are lit
if not, then get ready to douse
how many candles, is it one, two, three score or more? :-D
never mind, you don't look a day over forty ; 0))
If I hide in the cake and at the end of the song
I might jump out and say something naughty
you know that this poem is just tongue in cheek
and you know that I'm wishing you well
I'll have a wee dram and I'll be toasting your health
I hope your next year turns out real swell.

Ayer fuimos de nuevo a ver la mascletá y mientras esperábamos a que empezara, no me pude resistir a fotografiar el tatuaje de mi amiga Marta.
Yesterday we went back again to see the mascletá and while we waited for it to begin, I couldn't resist to shot my friend Marta's tattoo

This is a photo that goes back just six years to 2019. Within twelve months both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic would cease their use of Boeing 747’s. These days I believe there is just one freight operator in the UK, OneAir using freight variants of the Jumbo.
Hurtling past the Aviation Viewing Park on its way to take off from Manchester is "Forever Young" a Virgin Atlantic, Boeing 747.
