I second that. Really beautiful! Thank you for sharing, un chien anadolu. :) In Russian, we have an expression "тихая грусть." I don't know how to translate in English, but it describes a state where someone feels joy and sadness at the same time. And something else that is difficult to describe. Maybe, a realization of unity: being part of something great, a part of the whole creation. It's a very light feeling. That's what this music (and the image) envokes in me. Thanks again.

After really weird weather for the last couple of weeks (two weeks of scorching heat, then passing of the meteorite, and misty muggy four days after that), finally the weather here in Los Angeles is pleasant and slightly windy. Well, maybe not so slightly :) The winds are picking up by the hour. Surprisingly, instead of Santa Ana winds which are usually blow this time of the year, and are hot and very harsh, the wind this time is really refeshing and nice. And that reminded me of one of my favorite songs that I liked so much when I was young - "The Winds of Change" It's in Russian, English translation below.
Here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ79KQdwNjk this song– a scene from the movie "Mary Poppins, goodbye!"
Same song: in performance by Pavel Smeyan & Elena Stepanova - Veter Peremen (Live 2008) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzaGMIvbBRA

Ветер перемен
музыка-Максим Дунаевский,
слова-Наум Олев,
поют-Павел Смеян и Татьяна Воронина
Кружит Земля, как в детстве карусель,
А над Землей кружат ветра потерь,
Ветра потерь, разлук, обид и зла,
Им нет числа.
Им нет числа, сквозят из всех щелей,
Сердца людей, срывая дверь с петель,
Круша надежды и внушая страх,
Кружат ветра, кружат ветра.
Сотни лет и день, и ночь вращается
Карусель-Земля,
Сотни лет все ветры возвращаются
На круги своя.
Но есть на свете ветер перемен,
Он прилетит, прогнав ветра измен,
Развеет он, когда придет пора,
Ветра разлук, обид ветра.
Сотни лет и день, и ночь вращается
Карусель-Земля,
Сотни лет все в жизни возвращается
На круги своя.
Завтра ветер переменится,
Завтра прошлому взамен,
Он придет, он будет добрый, ласковый -
Ветер перемен.
Завтра ветер переменится,
Завтра прошлому взамен,
Он придет, он будет добрый, ласковый -
Ветер перемен.

Winds of Change
Music - Maxim Dunayevskiy
Words/Lyrics - Nahum Olev
Singers- Paul Smeyan and Tanya Boronina
Circles the Earth, as in childhood a carousel,
And beneath the Earth, circle lost winds.
The lost winds of separation, offense and anger,
They have no number.
They have no number, they blow in through all the cracks,
The hearts of the people, tear of the door from the hinges,
Shatter dreams and inculcate fear,
Circle winds, Circle winds.
Hundreds of years and days, and nights it turns
Carousel-Earth.
Hundreds of years all the winds return
In their circles.
But in this world there is a wind of change,
It will come flying, banishing winds of treason,
It will disperse, when the time will come
The winds of separation and of offence.
Hundreds of years and days, and nights it turns,
Carousel-Earth,
Hundreds of years all living return
In their circles.
Tomorrow the winds will break up,
Tomorrow, in exchange of the past,
It will come, It will be kind, affectionate -
The Wind of Change
Tomorrow the winds will break up,
Tomorrow, in exchange of the past,
It will come, It will be kind, affectionate -
The Wind of Change
And since Pavel Smeyan is one of my favorite performers, here is one more song "Nepogoda" or "Bad weather" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q75Q8sREOEk
Lyrics in Russian:
Изменения в природе происходят год от года
Непогода нынче в моде непогода непогода
Словно из водопровода льет на нас с небес вода
Полгода плохая погода полгода совсем никуда
Полгода плохая погода полгода совсем никуда
Никуда никуда нельзя укрыться нам
Но откладывать жизнь никак нельзя
Никуда никуда но знай что где-то там
Кто-то ищет тебя среди дождя
Грома грозные раскаты от заката до восхода
За грехи людские плата непогода непогода
Не ангина, не простуда - посерьезнее беда
Полгода плохая погода полгода совсем никуда
Полгода плохая погода полгода совсем никуда
Никуда никуда нельзя укрыться нам
Но откладывать жизнь никак нельзя
Никуда никуда, но знай, что где-то там
Кто-то ищет тебя среди дождя
Никуда никуда нельзя укрыться нам
Но откладывать жизнь никак нельзя
Никуда никуда, но знай, что где-то там
Кто-то ищет тебя среди дождя
Никуда никуда но знай что где-то там
Кто-то ищет тебя среди дождя

Different changes in the nature do occur in every season,
The bad weather's in the fashion, such bad weather, what's the reason?
From the sky the water's running on our heads like from a pipe,
For half-year there is such bad weather, for half-year there's nowhere to hide,
For half-year there is such bad weather, for half-year there's nowhere to hide.
There is not any place where we could hide ourselves,
But our life still can not be put aside,
There is nowhere to hide, but still you have to know
Someone's looking for you among the rain.
Peals of thunder are so loud from the sunset till the sunrise,
The bad weather's retribution for the people's sinful lives,
It is not just simple illness, but the trouble of mankind,
For half-year there is such bad weather, for half-year there's nowhere to hide,
For half-year there is such bad weather, for half-year there's nowhere to hide.
There is not any place where we could hide ourselves,
But our life still can not be put aside,
There is nowhere to hide, but still you have to know
Someone's looking for you among the rain.

This song reflects exactly what I am feeling at the moment as posted here
"Can't hold us Down" - Christina Aguilera
So what am I not supposed to have an opinion
Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cos I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
When a female fires back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what any little boy will do
Making up a few false rumors or two
That for sure is not a man to me
Slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say
This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout out loud!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave them proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down
Nobody can hold us down
Nobody can hold us down
Nobody can hold us down
Never can, never will
So what am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended by the message I'm bringing
Call me whatever cos your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing
If you look back in history
It's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore
I don't understand why it's okay
The guy can get away with it & the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
Start a new beginning for us everybody sing
This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
What do we do girls?
Shout out loud!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down
[Lil' Kim:]
Check it - Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's about to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryin to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his game is whack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back
But you're just a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big
To make up for smaller things
So you're just a little boy
All you'll do is annoy
You must talk so big
To make up for smaller things
This is for my girls...
This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth

No problems at all Olesya. I enjoyed reading the lyrics for Winds of Change in your post above. We too have had very strange weather, with a high yesterday of 37degrees Celsius/ 99 Fahrenheit (average for spring here is usually 20 degrees C/ 68 Fahrenheit) and hot dry winds blowing. It felt like stepping out into an oven and I thought the lyrics of that song perfect.

Lyrics:
Clear light on a slick palm
As I mis-deal the day
Slip the night from a shaved pack
Make a marked card play
Call twilight hours down
From a heaven home
High above the highest bidder
For the good Lord's throne
In the wee hours I'll meet you
Down by Dun Ringill
Oh, and we'll watch the old gods play
By Dun Ringill
We'll wait in stone circles
'Till the force comes through
Lines joint in faint discord
And the storm watch brews
A concert of kings
As the white sea snaps
At the heels of a soft prayer
Whispered
In the wee hours I'll meet you
Down by Dun Ringill
Oh, and I'll take you quickly

Thank you, Hithere :) Good song. And that's what I am listening to day:
"Прекрасное далеко" (Prekrasnoe dalyoko) from the movie "Гостья из будущего" ("Guest from the Future")
Слышу голос из Прекрасного Далека,
Голос утренний в серебряной росе.
Слышу голос - и манящая дорога
Кружит голову, как в детстве карусель.
Припев:
Прекрасное далеко!
Не будь ко мне жестоко,
Не будь ко мне жестоко,
Жестоко не будь!
От чистого истока
В Прекрасное Далеко,
В Прекрасное Далеко
Я начинаю путь.
Слышу голос из Прекрасного Далекa,
Он зовет меня в чудесные края.
Слышу голос - голос спрашивает строго:
А сегодня что для завтра сделал я?
Припев
Я клянусь, что стану чище и добрее
И в беде не брошу друга никогда.
Слышу голос - и спешу на зов скорее
По дороге, на которой нет следа.

The Glorious Future
I am hearing voices from the glorious future,
In the silver dew these morning voices sound,
I am hearing voices and alluring road
Whirls my head just like in childhood roundabout.
I pray glorious future, don't be to me so cruel.
Don't be to me so cruel, oh please do not be.
From innocent inception into the glorious future,
Into the glorious future I start my way to thee.
I am hearing voices from the glorious future,
They are calling me to fairy wonderlands,
Hearing voices and they're asking me so strictly –
For tomorrow what's been done by you today?
I pray glorious future, don't be to me so cruel.
Don't be to me so cruel, oh please do not be.
From innocent inception into the glorious future,
Into the glorious future I start my way to thee.
I swear I will become better and kinder,
And will never leave in trouble any friend,
I am hearing voices, rushing to their callings,
By the road on which there's not any trail.
I pray glorious future, don't be to me so cruel.
Don't be to me so cruel, oh please do not be.
From innocent inception into the glorious future,
Into the glorious future I start my way to thee.

Bel horizon
J'entends une voix venir du bel horizon,
Une voix matinale dans la rosée d'argent.
J'entends une voix et la route attrayante
Fait tourner la tête, comme un manège d'enfant.
Refrain:
Bel horizon!
Ne sois pas cruel envers moi,
Ne sois pas cruel envers moi,
Ne sois pas cruel!
Depuis la source pure
Jusqu'au bel horizon,
Jusqu'au bel horizon
Je me mets en route.
J'entends une voix venir du bel horizon,
Elle m'appelle dans les contrées merveilleuses.
J'entends une voix; elle demande sévèrement:
Mais aujourd'hui, qu'ai-je fait pour demain?

Et que je ne laisserai jamais tomber un ami en détresse.
