Mourir pour des idées, l’idée est excellente Moi j’ai failli mourir de ne l’avoir pas eu Car tous ceux qui l’avaient, multitude accablante En hurlant à la mort me sont tombés dessus Ils ont su me convaincre et ma muse insolente Abjurant ses erreurs, se rallie à leur foi Avec un soupçon de réserve toutefois Mourrons pour des idées, d’accord, mais de mort lente, D’accord, mais de mort lente
Jugeant qu’il n’y a pas péril en la demeure Allons vers l’autre monde en flânant en chemin Car, à forcer l’allure, il arrive qu’on meure Pour des idées n’ayant plus cours le lendemain Or, s’il est une chose amère, désolante En rendant l’âme à Dieu c’est bien de constater Qu’on a fait fausse route, qu’on s’est trompé d’idée Mourrons pour des idées, d’accord, mais de mort lente D’accord, mais de mort lente
Les saint jean bouche d’or qui prêchent le martyre Le plus souvent, d’ailleurs, s’attardent ici-bas Mourir pour des idées, c’est le cas de le dire C’est leur raison de vivre, ils ne s’en privent pas Dans presque tous les camps on en voit qui supplantent Bientôt Mathusalem dans la longévité J’en conclus qu’ils doivent se dire, en aparté “Mourrons pour des idées, d’accord, mais de mort lente D’accord, mais de mort lente”
Des idées réclamant le fameux sacrifice Les sectes de tout poil en offrent des séquelles Et la question se pose aux victimes novices Mourir pour des idées, c’est bien beau mais lesquelles ? Et comme toutes sont entre elles ressemblantes Quand il les voit venir, avec leur gros drapeau Le sage, en hésitant, tourne autour du tombeau Mourrons pour des idées, d’accord, mais de mort lente D’accord, mais de mort lente
Encor s’il suffisait de quelques hécatombes Pour qu’enfin tout changeât, qu’enfin tout s’arrangeât Depuis tant de “grands soirs” que tant de têtes tombent Au paradis sur terre on y serait déjà Mais l’âge d’or sans cesse est remis aux calendes Les dieux ont toujours soif, n’en ont jamais assez Et c’est la mort, la mort toujours recommencée Mourrons pour des idées, d’accord, mais de mort lente D’accord, mais de mort lente
O vous, les boutefeux, ô vous les bons apôtres Mourez donc les premiers, nous vous cédons le pas Mais de grâce, morbleu! laissez vivre les autres! La vie est à peu près leur seul luxe ici bas Car, enfin, la Camarde est assez vigilante Elle n’a pas besoin qu’on lui tienne la faux Plus de danse macabre autour des échafauds! Mourrons pour des idées, d’accord, mais de mort lente D’accord, mais de mort lente
C’est quand la nuit m’échappe et que je ne peux pas dormir C’est quand la nuit m’échappe et que je ne peux pas dormir Que mes désirs reviennent bien avant toi
Quand je passe mes jours à oublier ces nuits Quand je passe mes jours à oublier ces nuits Quand je t’appelle et que tu n’entends pas
Refrain: Alors, je me souviens des choses les plus simples Les choses qu’on a dit ne jamais oublier Les choses les plus simples, jamais oublier
Il faut marcher longtemps pour en finir de ces langueurs Il faut marcher longtemps pour en finir de ces langueurs Il faut fermer les yeux, partir ailleurs

Then I think about the simple things we said The things we promised never to forget The simple things we said never to forget
Quand nous en serons au temps des cerises Et gai rossignol et merle moqueur Seront tous en fête Les belles auront la folie en tête Et les amoureux du soleil au coeur Quand nous chanterons le temps des cerises Sifflera bien mieux le merle moqueur
Mais il est bien court le temps des cerises Où l’on s’en va deux cueillir en rêvant Des pendants d’oreilles Cerises d’amour aux robes pareilles Tombant sous la feuille en gouttes de sang Mais il est bien court le temps des cerises Pendants de corail qu’on cueille en rêvant
Quand vous en serez au temps des cerises Si vous avez peur des chagrins d’amour Evitez les belles Moi qui ne crains pas les peines cruelles Je ne vivrai pas sans souffrir un jour Quand vous en serez au temps des cerises Vous aurez aussi des chagrins d’amour
J’aimerai toujours le temps des cerises C’est de ce temps-là que je garde au coeur Une plaie ouverte Et Dame Fortune, en m’étant offerte Ne saura jamais calmer ma douleur J’aimerai toujours le temps des cerises Et le souvenir que je garde au coeur
Wister was an American author who is best remembered for his contributions to western fiction. A well-to-do Harvard graduate, he suffered from ill health and summered in the American West, where he gained much inspiration for his writings. His popular 1902 novelThe Virginian is regarded as the first western. It tells the tale of a cattle rancher who depends on a harsh code of ethics, and it helped establish the cowboy as an American folk hero. To whom is the book dedicated? More…Discuss
The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it.
The Bastille was a 14th-century fortress and a notorious state prison in Paris. In 1789, an angry mob stormed the prison, freeing the political prisoners held in the edifice that had come to symbolize the French monarchy‘s oppression of the people. The assault launched the French Revolution. Although the building itself was razed a year later, the Bastille became a symbol of French independence, and July 14th became a national holiday. How many prisoners were in the Bastille when it was stormed? More…Discuss
Researchers believe that noise could be to blame, at least in part, for the sharp decline of the UK’shouse sparrow population over the past four decades. There are a number of reasons why this might be. The leading hypothesis is that noise affects the selection of a mate, perhaps by drowning out mating calls. Another theory, supported by the observation that sparrows nesting in noisy areas are less effective at feeding their chicks, suggests that urban noise makes it difficult for adult birds to hear the hunger calls of their offspring and negatively affects the way the chicks are fed, thereby limiting their chances of survival.More…Discuss
The painting is described thus: “Ludwig van Beethoven was recognised as a child prodigy. He worked at the age of 13 as organist, pianist/harpsichordist and violist at the court in Bonn, and had published three early piano sonatas. This portrait in oils is the earliest authenticated likeness of Beethoven.” (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major, op. 15 Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major, op. 15, was written during 1796 and 1797. The first performance was in Prague in 1798, with Beethoven himself playing the piano, dedicated to his student Babette Countess Keglevics.
Although this was Beethoven’s first piano concerto to be published, it was, in fact, his third attempt at the genre, following an unpublished piano concerto in E-flat major (not to be confused with Beethoven’s more famous “Emperor” concerto, also in E-flat) and the Piano Concerto No. 2, published after Piano Concerto No. 1 (in 1801) but composed almost ten years earlier.More:
Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 19
The Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 19, by Ludwig van Beethoven was composed primarily between 1787 and 1789, although it did not attain the form it was published as until 1795. Beethoven did write another finale for it in 1798 for performance in Prague, but that is not the finale that it was published with. It was used by the composer as a vehicle for his own performances as a young virtuoso, initially intended with the Bonn Hofkapelle. It was published in 1801, by which time he had also published the Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major, although it had been composed after this work, in 1796 and 1797. The B-flat major Piano Concerto became an important display piece for the young Beethoven as he sought to establish himself after moving from Bonn to Vienna. He was the soloist at its premiere on 29 March 1795, at Vienna’s Burgtheater in a concert marking his public debut.] (Prior to that, he had performed only in the private salons of the Viennese nobility.) While the work as a whole is very much in the concerto style of Mozart, there is a sense of drama and contrast that would be present in many of Beethoven’s later works. Beethoven himself apparently did not rate this work particularly highly, remarking to the publisher Franz Anton Hoffmeister that, along with the Piano Concerto No. 1, it was “not one of my best.” The version that he premiered in 1795 is the version that is performed and recorded today.More:..
The Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37, was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1800 and was first performed on 5 April 1803, with the composer as soloist. During that same performance, the Second Symphony and the oratorio Christ on the Mount of Olives were also debuted.[1] The composition was dedicated to Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia. The first primary theme is reminiscent of that of Mozart’s 24th Piano Concerto. The concerto is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in B-flat, 2 bassoons, 2 horns in E-flat, 2 trumpets in C, timpani, strings and piano soloist. More:… ABOUT BEETHOVEN
Ludwig van Beethoven ( /ˈlʊdvɪɡ væn ˈbeɪt.hoʊvən/; German pronunciation: [ˈluːtvɪç fan ˈbeːt.hoːfən] ( listen); baptized 17 December 1770[1] — 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. A crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music, he remains one of the most famous and influential of all composers. Born in Bonn, then the capital of the Electorate of Cologne and part of the Holy Roman Empire, Beethoven moved to Vienna in his early 20s, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. His hearing began to deteriorate in his late twenties, yet he continued to compose, conduct, and perform, even after becoming completely deaf.More:…

We think of celebrations in terms of years while some of us forget what a celebration is about altogether, as the years begin being heavy on the shoulders…
I celebrate Beethoven’s music with every moment. His music is to my mind, what air is to my being. His music is universal, his harmony is everywhere to be found, and I don’t even have to stop in my track to listen. Actually I can safely operate dangerous machinery, like a car for instance as a so called “road rage” antidote, and I don’t even need water to swallow it I’m just keeping my ears full of sound, and the eyes on the road (looks more like an parking lot, more and more at all times). Music like the one composed by Beethoven helps one go to sleep each night, and wake up in the morning, with a new sense of BEING.
I hope that you enjoy music too! I Hope you have a very special, musical, harmonious and inspired weekend! Hope this post helps a little! (It helped me write this few words!)”
