Heaven and Hell

Listening some of Black Sabbath's albums tonight, a couple of line have drawn my attention.

The ending is just a beginner

The closer you get to the meaning

The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming

The world is full of Kings and Queens

Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams

It's Heaven and Hell

♠ Black Sabbath ♠

And now...

IT'S THE BEGINNING OF...

THE END

Paranoid in the Sky

On a sunny summer day, the clouds surrounded the city, showing their power. Their shape reminded me of Paranoid's album cover (Black Sabbath). Well, it is not a perfect copy, yet the sword is there in the sky!

Changes

I've received the other day an email related to a certain situation in my country. This situation is presented as new each time it comes into discussion. It is always about changes, but those kind of changes seems to be perpetual, and every time they start from the very same spot they've previously started...

Speaking of changes, here are two versions of Black Sabbath's song: the one played by the band, and another one performed by Ozzy Osbourne and his daughter Kelly Osbourne. You might want to listen to them on a rainy day...

Considering that Ozzy is the main voice in both versions, which is your favorite one?

Enjoy!

Politicians vs. Musicians: 1 - 0

No matter how powerful musicians' messages are, the politicians' ones seem to resonate better with the masses. Ronnie James Dio and Ozzy Osbourne duet along with Black Sabbath are performing War Pigs with such kind of message.

Politicians hide themselves away

They only started the war

Why should they go out to fight?

They leave that all to the poor

I also posted A Powerful Message a week ago, the one sent by Motörhead to politicians:

Just 'Cause You Got The Power, that don't mean you got the right!

Useless to translate it, just pass it on! \\m//
