Jane's music

There are some songs that are like old friends. When I return to them after a while, they bring up the old memories as they go.
Some of these songs are composed by a German rock band named “Jane”. They are pretty famous in Iran for 70's rock savvies but not very well-known in the world of rock.
Guitar of Klaus Hess, keyboard of Manfred Wieczorke,... No pointless solos...“Together”, “Spain”, “Fire, water, earth, and air”, “Lord love”, “Expectation”, "meadow",...
Hmmmm!, Good old days!
This post is just a brief tribute to Jane. In the end, we were close friends for about a year or two. Besides, we still meet each other every now and then!
To read about the band and listen to the song “Spain” follow the link below:

The music is usually categorized as Space Rock but I don’t like to compare it with that of Pink Floyd's. Personally, I believe music of Pink Floyd has had an incredible influence on many musicians but it’s not a scale to weigh other's music.

Great Nation Who Live In the Past

This year a group of Iranians celebrated the Persian new year (Nowrouz) in Pasargad were Cyrus the great is buried.
There is a nostalgic tendency among Persians/Iranians to look back to their nation’s prosperous past, 2500 years ago. The era when Persian Empire was the greatest power in the world and possessed a rich culture. For example, Cyrus Cylinder is considered the first human rights charter in history; Persepolis was built with paid labor,...
The question is:
Why are we trying so hard to prove to the world that we had a rich culture thousands of years ago?What will the world think about us? That we have lost such power, culture and even dignity permanently from 2500 years ago up to now?
Past is gone. Let’s live in present and try building the future.

Anniversary Against Anniversary

Happy Monday!

I am at work and waiting for my birthday cake for another 45 minutes. My boss is not here and it means someone else has bought it which is not a good sign. I just hope it is a chocolate cake!

Each year I have two anniversaries in a row in this month. First One is on the 5th that is the anniversary of the worst day of my life till now. Second one is my birthday on the 6th.
Never mind. Life is too short. So, happy birthday to me!

By the way, There are only five days left to the weekend and you are already in the middle of the first one. So, be strong!

Take care,

Pooya
