How We Used To Be

Turn It Up

Dr. Paolo Urio discusses the roots of American Empire, how the U.S. has always been an 'aristocratic republic,' and how since inception it has used bully and provocation tactics, planning to conquer both the northern and southern continent, which demonstrates the essence of U.S. foreign policy. Washington lacks the capacity to read the intentions of the other side and how America's position in the international system has long since declined. BRICS and initiatives like Belt & Road will soon surpass American dominance and be able to attract other countries seeking to escape U.S. Empire. Dr. Urio suggests that historically China never wanted to conquer the world. In the new multipolar world, the U.S. will not go away, but it will need to change the way it manages its international relations.

Nobody Knows

It’s the look in your eyes
The casual steps
The subliminal sighs
In your every breath
And the way they shade
Your every point of view

It’s the things that you say
The things that you don’t
The things that you do
And the things that you won’t
They speak to me 
Like you never do

I’ve tried so hard to give you all my love
Now I just don’t know what I was thinking of

Why do you break my heart
Baby, why do you pull my world apart
When all I ever do I do for you
Why do you always tear me down
When I finally feel we’re on solid ground
I find you running round with someone new

You say our love deserves a brand new start
But then you run, baby
Why do you break my heart

I should move right along
Leave you behind
But I’m just not that strong
It feels so unkind
Cause I know you need 
Someone to lean upon

And I want be there
And it’s hard not to be
When I think that you care
More than you let me see
And I just don’t know 
How free I’ll be if gone
  
And you always seem the storm I’m bracing for
So I wonder why I open up that door

Why Do You Break My Heart

GOOD THING I GAVE MY HEART TO YOU

forgot to run the dryer, my jeans are soaking wet
the dog's missing and we're late for the vet
haven't seen the check book in a couple of weeks
the phone's ringing again.... now, where could it be
i got the dog in the car, now i can't find my keys
if it ain't one thing it's another with me
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no tellin' all the trouble it'd be gettin' into
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;knowing all the stupid things that i can do
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you

mama always said, (and you know she's never wrong)
i'd probably lose my head if it wasn't screwed on
half of my stuff would never be found
if it ain't locked up, nailed shut or tied down
but one part of me... i'll always know where it'll be
it's the only thing i ever lost intentionally
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no tellin' all the trouble it'd be gettin' into
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;knowing all the stupid things that i can do
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you

one part of me... i'll always know where it'll be
it's the only thing i ever lost intentionally
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no tellin' all the trouble it'd be gettin' into
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;knowing all the stupid things that i can do
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you

V1
I can't tell who I'm talking to
All I know is that you're not here
It would be a different time
It could just be I've imagined it
Little seeds of truth
Might hold me here again
I know it could be true
You & I 
Were something once.   

C1
Just say the word
All it takes is you
To say the words you could not say
So you showed me that there was no way
Spoken truly
Spoken clearly
Spoken voluntarily
That is all it takes
All it takes to end the day.

V2
Our future was so long ago
And I know you were unwilling
It was such a different time
It was not as I'd imagined it
Little seeds of doubt
Shifted you each tiny bit
I know that it was true
You & I 
Were something once.   

C2
Just say the word
All it took was you
To say the words I would not say
Show me that there was no way
Spoken truly
Spoken clearly
Spoken so carefully
That is all it takes
Takes to say go away.
 
solo 

C3
Just say the words
All it took from you
You spoke the words I would not say
And showed me that I held no sway
Spoken bluntly
Spoken slowly
Spoken so deliberately
Even as you shook
Makes it all yesterday.

V3
Our futures were so far apart
I know you saw the truth
While I hoped for  more time
It clearly wasn't meant to be
Little seeds without
Tenderness don't sprout
Yet of this I have no doubt
You & I 
Were something once.  

C4
Just say the word
All it took was two
To bring a stop to what was not
To show me what I've not forgotten
Spoken truly
And sincerely
Though it cost dearly
That is all it takes
Takes to say a last goodbye.

Just Say The Word

It's a slow start to the day at Andravoahangy market in Madagascar's capital. Sellers are unwrapping their wares and laying them out in little displays in their stalls. Recorded with Sony PCM D100.

Calm day at the market in Antananarivo

I've been listening to Jazz and Blues all my life and still addicted.
