I'm very proud of the lyrics to this older tune of mine:

We're living in the nighttime rain

Trying to find a way back home

Take the candle from my hand

Blow out the light

I will never follow you

Or take you back for reason

I will turn away from it all

I will let you down

Things have never felt this way

Like they were before

Caught the mouth , Hide the pain

Take me back my enemy

Things have never felt this way

Like they were before

Caught the mouth , Hide the pain

Take me back my enemy

We're living in the nighttime rain

Trying to find a way back home

Take the candle from my hand

Blow out the light

Stuck inside your molten mind

Your essence slowly fading

No words and no fears

Time will find you weeping

Things have never felt this way

Like they were before

Caught the mouth , Hide the pain

Take me back my enemy

Things have never felt this way

Like they were before

Caught the mouth , Hide the pain

Take me back my enemy

And if you are chasing the weak

Our path will surely reconnect

Time will come for you my friend

Since you have lost your way

 (Extra scrapped lyrics)

And you may lose your conscious

And if you are running astray

Make sure to hide the way

(continuation:)

Things have never felt this way

Like they were before

Caught the mouth , Hide the pain

Take me back my enemy

Things have never felt this way

Like they were before

Caught the mouth, Hide the pain

Take me back my enemy

Enemy

Enemy

Enemy

Shut enemy

Enemy

Enemy

Enemy

My enemy

It will be released, hopefully this year!

I just read this insane thing and thought the folks of tumblr might appreciate it

The European Parliament is a peculiarly Byzantine place, which is all the more baffling for an assembly that only sprung into life in 1979.

It’s replete with obscure working groups hived off from real committees, opaque voting procedures, feeble attempts to keep tabs on the Commission, and dull, empty plenary sessions taking place weeks after the news trigger has passed. And don’t forget the gift vault on floor 5 ½. 

And the article in full because it is insane:

Inside the European Parliament’s gift vault

APRIL 17, 2023 4:00 AM CET

BY EDDY WAX

BRUSSELS — Down a curving corridor on floor five and a half, there’s a dark alcove hiding an unmarked door. 

This is the final resting place for the European Parliament’s would-be bribes. 

The secret chamber is piled high with diplomatic gifts, all carefully labeled and left to languish in bureaucratic limbo under lock and key — neither accepted nor rejected. 

There’s the opulent; there’s the bizarre. One cupboard contains a Taiwanese wristwatch given to a Polish EU lawmaker. Another holds a pot of French mustard, a miniature Saudi Arabian door and a commemorative plaque from the Indonesian parliament.

Expensive bottles of wine, children’s toys, wireless headphones, books, stationery, figurines — five dusty containers are brimming with the forsworn freebies that governments and parliaments from all over the globe have showered on EU lawmakers. 

The crypt — essentially a glorified janitor’s closet — has sat largely unperturbed since the collection began almost 15 years ago. But in recent months, it has taken on a new significance due to revelations over alleged bribes that countries like Qatar, Morocco and Mauritania were funneling to EU lawmakers. 

The scandal, dubbed Qatargate, has prompted soul-searching within Parliament, which is now squabbling over how to revise the code of conduct that governs lawmakers’ behavior — including what they should do when offered a gift.

But here, in room 55A031 of the labyrinthine Paul-Henri Spaak building, remain the gifts given but not received.

Too small a room

Outside, there is no indication about what the room contains. It is permanently locked.

Besides the renounced gratuities, the room stores old MEP files.

POLITICO’s access to the vault was facilitated by the office of German Green MEP Daniel Freund — a vocal proponent of tougher transparency rules in the institution — plus three European Parliament officials, including a spokesperson.

“It’s a bit anticlimactic if you expected some kind of treasure trove,” Nurminen said, standing on the squeaky linoleum floor of the vault as the air conditioning thrummed in the background.

With MEPs rushing to declare many more gifts than before in light of the Qatargate scandal, this storage room could soon become too small. Between 2009 and 2014, EU lawmakers declared just 15 gifts — but in this parliamentary term, which began in 2019, they’ve already registered 266.

The higher numbers are largely due to a massive dump of gifts by Parliament President Roberta Metsola, who declared 170 gifts since the start of the year — most recently a traditional shirt from the chairman of the Ukrainian parliament and a decorative box from Harvard University.

The president’s gifts are either displayed in her office, stored in this gift vault — or already long gone. When it comes to gifts of chocolates, wine or crunchy snacks, some have been “served in the course of Parliament’s functions,” i.e. consumed during official work meetings.

Even though she missed the internal deadline to declare many of the gifts, Metsola — who has been Parliament president since January 2022 — argued she was being radically transparent by declaring the gifts and turning them over. This broke with years of the institution exempting the president from declaring gifts on the public register.

Because of this change, many gifts given to previous presidents and kept in boxes by a set of civil servants called the “protocol service” are now being transferred to this room from undisclosed locations. The Parliament spokesperson described this gift vault as the only dedicated room where such gifts to former presidents are kept.

Just 17 gifts to presidents past and present are on display in glass cabinets at the Parliament’s seat in Strasbourg, next to a tiny kiosk selling Roberta Metsola-themed stamps. They include a statuette of a horse from the United Arab Emirates’ National Council; handmade artwork from the president of Nigeria; a silver bowl from top U.S. politician Nancy Pelosi; a peace-themed mosaic from Pope Francis; and a vide-poches or decorative tray from French President Emmanuel Macron.

Manfred’s mobile

For now, the gifts in the chamber in Brussels are essentially in limbo — neither displayed nor used — a fate that might perhaps make lobbyists or foreign dignitaries think twice about going to the trouble of making any such gesture in the first place.

A case in point is a Huawei smartphone that was worth more than €150 when given to European People’s Party chief Manfred Weber by the Chinese tech company — in 2013. It’s been gathering dust here ever since.

The “end of life” rules, as Parliament speak would have it, means dead but not buried.

According to the current rules, EU lawmakers can keep these gifts permanently if it can be proved they have no “obvious” value to the Parliament. Or they may be temporarily displayed in their offices if the president gives her blessing.

In theory, parliamentarians can also bid to buy back their gifts in a public tender — but such an auction has never happened.

At a later stage of the ethics reform plan initiated by Metsola, senior parliamentarians could at some point tweak the code of conduct to allow the gifts to be given to charities — as happens with used furniture and food waste from the canteens. But such a tweak is currently not under consideration.

“If you have more presents handed into the institution, there needs to be a way to process them. So the existing 2013 rules might be revised,” the spokesperson said as the door quietly closed.

The Baltic Sea is small and shallow (average depth is 55 meters (180 feet)) so it is extremely vulnerable to pollution. Its surface area is only 377,000 square kilometers (146,000 square miles) while it borders 9 countries.

Eurovision 2024, artisti finlandesi chiedono messa al bando di Israele da kermesse

(Adnkronos) - Più di 1.400 professionisti dell'industria musicale finlandese hanno firmato una petizione che chiede la messa al bando di Israele dall'Eurovision per presunti "crimini di guerra" a Gaza. Lo riferisce la Bbc sottolineando che se Israele non sarà escluso, i firmatari chiedono che l'emittente pubblica Yle ritiri la partecipazione della Finlandia dalla competizione. Yle afferma che sta monitorando la posizione dell'Ebu (Unione europea di radiodiffusione), organizzatore del concorso. Il mese scorso, i musicisti islandesi hanno avanzato richieste simili all’emittente televisiva Rúv.  Tra i firmatari figurano gli artisti finlandesi Olavi Uusivirta, Paleface e Axel Ehnström, che hanno rappresentato il Paese nel concorso del 2011. Gli artisti accusano Yle di doppiopesismo, affermando che l'emittente è stata tra le prime a chiedere l'esclusione della Russia dal concorso del 2022, "e quindi ci aspettiamo la stessa attiva difesa dei valori anche adesso". Il giorno dopo che la Russia aveva lanciato la sua invasione su vasta scala dell’Ucraina nel 2022, il rappresentante di Yle, Ville Vilén, aveva affermato che l’attacco di Mosca è “contrario a tutti i valori che Yle e altre emittenti europee rappresentano”. L’Ebu subito dopo ha vietato alla Russia di partecipare all'Eurovision. Vilén ha però specificato che la situazione in Israele e Gaza "non è proprio la stessa". "Per quanto raccapricciante sia, non è una guerra di aggressione di uno Stato nei confronti di un altro, come quella tra Russia e Ucraina", ha detto il mese scorso al tabloid finlandese Ilta-Sanomat.  Il capo delle comunicazioni di Yle, Jere Nurminen, ha detto al quotidiano Hufvudstadsbladet che l'emittente sta seguendo la situazione e sta discutendo con l'Ebu e altre emittenti pubbliche. Yle prevede anche di incontrare gli autori della petizione. L'Eurovision di quest'anno si svolgerà nella città svedese di Malmö.  [email protected] (Web Info) Read the full article
