L'ottava meraviglia: la collezione Guggenheim di Venezia - Repubblica Tv - la Repubblica.it
Proposal: we are still on one of the 118 small islands in the historic center of Venice (the list of all the other islands in the lagoon is quite long...) we can close the bridges from Campo San Vio that connect this island to the Punta della Dogana, and we keep the Peggy Guggenheim Collection all to ourselves, and maybe something else... let's hope @g agrees!
 
Since we are discussing how to create a new perfect world on our Island, free from all evil, here, as an absolute and perfect value to bring with us down there, I have already evoked noble feelings like Friendship, Love, and Solidarity, but above all Freedom. And speaking of the latter, I’d like to highlight it with this beautiful Italian piece where it is understood as rebellion and revolt against a mediocre world, full of rules and devoid of true freedom.

Area - Consapevolezza

"Awareness"

"If one day you want
your brain
you will know what you already do:
break the ties, they along with you.

Travel in the sky on iron cables
among silent steel voices that speak
Let your elevator leave.

Then you will see
all the squalid reality
of a taboo that humanity
has always lived without freedom
all the love reduced to nothing
rests old among moldy monsters
Let your elevator leave.

Smash against the wall without mercy
Your morality that still wants you
imprisoned among mediocrity
Let your elevator leave
Let it go and take the power."
 
We’ve been on this island for a while, and by mere chance we meet Mick Jagger, what the hell!!!, who tells us "give me shelter, or I will fade away," and you either take him in, out of our goodness, or you throw him into the sea, or better yet, to the bottom of a pool, just like Brian Jones was found dead after a furious argument with the other members of the group over issues of interest???

Gimme Shelter 1969 - The Rolling Stone

"[Intro]
Oooooh

[Verse 1]
Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't find some shelter
Ooh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

[Chorus]
War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

[Verse 2]
Ooh, see the fire is sweeping
Our very street today
Burning like a red carpet
Bull on the loose has lost your way

[Chorus]
War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

[Verse 3]
Mmm, floods are threatening
My very life today
Give me, give me shelter
Or I will fade away

[Chorus – Variation]
War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

[Outro]
I tell you love, sister
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, (kiss away kiss away)

[Guitar Solo]"
 
In case there’s someone you care about, and who is waiting for you on this mythical deserted island, send them this reassuring message

Sam and Dave - Hold on I'm coming

"Hang in There, I'm Coming"

Never feel sad
Lean on me when times are tough
When the day breaks and you're feeling low
In a raging river about to drown
All you have to do is hang on, I’m coming
Hang on, I’m coming
I’m coming, your lover
If you get cold, yes, I’ll be your blanket
Don’t you worry, because I’m coming
There’s no need to suffer, baby, because I’m coming
All you have to do is hang on, I’m coming
Hang on, I’m coming
Hang on, I’m coming
Hang on, I’m coming
Come to me to feel fulfilled, yes
Call my name, yes, as a reaction
Yes, yes, yes, yes
So, never feel sad
Lean on me
When the day breaks and you’re feeling low, baby
In a raging river about to drown
All you have to do is hang on, I’m coming
Hang on, I’m coming
All you have to do is hang on
(Don't worry)
I’m coming
(Here we go)
Hang on
(We’re about to save you)
I’m coming
(Yes) All you have to do is hang on
(Don't worry)
I’m coming
(Here I am)
 
This is a Japanese drum line!
Gaijin, I wanted to remind you that in three years the Olympics will be held in Japan! You have no idea how hard the people of these Pacific islands are working to host the Olympic Games, which you should visit eventually, both for the natural beauty and to discover some aspects of a people racing at full speed into the future (just take a ride on a Nozomi train of the shinkansen line!) but who has managed to preserve their traditions and courtesy.
Arigato gozaimasu for reading these few insignificant lines of mine. Konnichiwa, or if you prefer sayounara.
 
Indeed, it's just so; our everyday world is populated by spies of every kind, who do it out of pleasure, vice, or need, as often happens in the workplace for career reasons. And here you must pay close attention because their disguises are many and unpredictable, or in the context of the condominium, the so-called "doormen" in their spare time, who know everything about everyone and spy on you from behind their shutters, or even from those envious individuals who carefully measure our way of living, especially our weaknesses and flaws. In short, be cautious in this world because you are practically surrounded; but have you ever noticed how unpleasant these people are? If the idea of exiling yourself to a desert island is also to escape from these charming characters, then be very careful not to bring them along disguised as something else, us included alas, perhaps as eavesdroppers and voyeurs, even involuntary ones, eh eh...

Signed: from one who, though as a good Friend, is inexorably framing you day by day based on your musical tastes, your way of approaching others, and everything that inadvertently or not shines through from your posts and your replies, or even from your silences that might seem apparently meaningless...

The Doors The Spy

“I am a spy
In the house of love
I know the dream
You go dreaming of
I know the word
You’re aching to hear
I know the most profound and secret of your fears.
I am a spy
In the house of love
I know the dream
You go dreaming of
I know the word
You’re aching to hear
I know the most profound and secret of your fears.
I know everything
Everything you do
Wherever you go
Whoever you know.
I am a spy
In the house of love
I know the dream
You go dreaming of
I know the word
You’re aching to hear
I know the most profound and secret of your fears
I know the most profound and secret of your fears
I know the most profound and secret of your fears.”
 
Hey friends, the idea of retreating to a deserted island, escaping from this world, although desired by many of us, isn't it perhaps an idea that requires the determination typical of the mad?
Who among us can give up so many comforts and functionalities of today? And then, not having hot water, heating, having to go hunt for daily food, doing without fashionable clothes, gadgets and electronic devices, the web and social media, in short, going back to living an essential life like hundreds and hundreds of years ago? Hm, think about it a bit before boarding this ship of fools...

The Doors - Ship of Fools (Remastered)

"The human race was there dying
People left there screaming and shouting
People walking on the moon
The smoke will have you pretty soon
Everyone was there just dangling
Staring and leaning
Hanging and holding tight
I hope our little world holds on.
Oh yes, Mr. Bon Voyage arrived
Looking for a new ship
Come on people better get on board
Come on little we're going home now
Ship of fools ship of fools.

The human race was there dying
No one left screaming and shouting
People walking on the moon
The smoke will have you pretty soon
Ship of fools ship of fools
Ship of fools ship of fools
Ship
Ship
Ship"
