Lovely, thanks.
But I didn't find it relaxing. Too intent on watching the physical movements of speech and wondering about the communication. Fascinating.

I clicked on this one because the title 'Enchanted Forest' reminded me of a relaxation cassette I used a long time ago...

4K HDR Enchanted Forest - Blackbird Singing - Springtime Bird Song - Relaxing Nature Video & Sounds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA5THpy0zsg

A familiar experience on wood trails.
In my case, listening to but not seeing the birds.
A pity video can't capture the scents. Nothing like a forest smell - warm leaves after a shower.

The air in the forest smells good. It may smell like damp moss, rain, wet tree trunks, flowers, and needle-covered path.
It may smell like a tree stump that is already creating new life, or even snow, frost, and softwood.
According to a research, just five hours per month in a forest will greatly improve our mental health. What about, say, five hours per week, then? — Finnish forest

Lesley Duncan - Everything Changes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32WsT5Z6XHM

Everything changes and fades into dust
Stay if you want to and go if you must
I couldn't hold you, I wouldn't want to
But if you feel blue, run to me

I'll make some coffee and just be around
And you can tell me what's getting you down
That's what I came for, born of the same law
Right through the same door you and me

And if your life gets heavy, I'll lighten up your day
Do my best to make you feel at one
It's the best way that I know; babe, I love you so
You know I'll need you till my life is done

Everything changes and love travels on
Melt in the sunshine, rest in the dawn
Just let it move you, that's all you can do
Open your heart and see the sun

And if your life gets heavy, I'll lighten up your day
Do my best to make you feel at one
It's the best way that I know; babe, I love you so
You know I'll need you till my life is done

Everything changes (love travels on)
Everything changes (love travels on)
Everything changes (love travels on)
Everything changes (love travels on)

The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ga_M5Zdn4

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

Ah, Venice - La Serenissima. Wish I was there...

Ci risiamo col lockdown… quindi un’altra canzone (versione speciale) per ammazzare il tempo e il Covid-19.
Abbiate cura di voi.
We're in lockdown again...so here's another song (a special version) to kill some time and to kill some Covid-19. Take care of yourselves.
Zucchero — Zucchero

Camminato per le strade
Col sole dei tuoi occhi
Ci vuole un attimo per dirsi addio... spara
Che bella quiete sulle cime
Mi freddi il cuore e l'anima
Ci vuole un attimo per dirsi addio
Per questo troppo amore, per noi
E questo bel dolore
Ti prego no, ti prego lo sai

Sogno, qualcosa di buono
Che mi illumini il mondo
Buono come te
Che ho bisogno, di qualcosa di vero
Che illumini il cielo
Proprio come te

Ho visto il sole nei tuoi occhi
Calare nella sera
Ci vuole un attimo per dirsi addio... spara
Che bella quiete sulle rive
Mi freddi il cuore e l'anima
Ci vuole un attimo per dirsi addio
Ma dove andranno i giorni e noi
Le fughe e poi i ritorni
Ti prego no, ti prego lo sai

Sogno, qualcosa di buono
Che mi illumini il mondo
Buono come te
Che ho bisogno, di qualcosa di vero
Che illumini il cielo
Proprio come te

Ohoh ohoh
Siamo caduti in volo
Mio sole
Siamo caduti in volo
Siamo caduti in volo
Mio cielo
Siamo caduti in volo

Per questo amore immenso, per noi
E il gran dolore che sento
Ti prego no, ti prego lo sai

Sogno, qualcosa di buono
Che mi illumini il mondo
Buono come te
Che ho bisogno, di qualcosa di vero
Che illumini il cielo
Proprio come te
Che ho bisogno, di qualcosa di buono
Che mi illumini il mondo
Proprio come te

all we are losing

"I'm Losing You" (3:57)
Double Fantasy, 1980
John Lennon, d.1980

Double Fantasy, 1980
John Lennon, d.1980 — 180 Proof

Oh my, how sad :broken:

This is a track from Double Fantasy, Lennon's final album during his lifetime, released only three weeks before his murder. The song resulted from John's inability to get Yoko on the phone at a time when he feared for their relationship. — Songfacts

At 3.33. the 'Don't want to lose you now' sent shivers...

The Beatles - Something
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UelDrZ1aFeY

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me

I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me

Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around, now it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me

I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

I suspect when The Fabs had recorded "Something", George's marriage to Pattie was on very thin ice and his best mate Eric (Clapton) was already "courting" her (with George's approval? no less). Sad. Same wavelength as John (though not nearly as neurotic), even same as Paul who had composed a song of loss (re: Jane Asher?) a few years earlier.

Changelings - Gazelle Twin

I'll sit here a while
I'm waiting lonely like a shadow in the night sky.
You sit here a while
And wait beside me 'till the next star rises.

I came and I saw
I saw the end of the world we know
You came and you saw
You'll disappear before the next star rises.

Out of time...
It changes so very easily
Changing over and again and again and again.

So you
You go feel the Son
I'll watch you knowing all your cheaters and liars.

The only constant in life is change. — Heraclitus

And wait beside me 'till the next star rises. — TheMadFool

Interesting. I guess this is talking about our Sun, it's also a changeling - a new star every day.

The words were for the words. The video was for the video.

I'm not a Radiohead fanboy by any means, but this track is super cool and has me excited to hear the B-side album Kid A Mnesia that's coming out soon:

You sound like me. Always liked Radiohead, but never loved them. But yeah, this new album seems interesting.

Yeah, I like that track I posted. I was just saying this to my co-worker, though...it's a good track, but I can see why it's a B-side.

"If I mistreat you gal,
I sure don't mean you no harm
If I mistreat you gal,
I sure don't mean you no harm
I'm a motherless child
and I don't know right from wrong"
