Hearts and Minds 1975 (dir. Peter Davis)
'No bondage is worse than the hope of happiness. God promises us a vale of tears on this earth, but at least that comes eventually to an end. Eternal life is eternal bliss. Rebellious, unsatisfied, we argue with God: Don’t we deserve even a taste of eternity during our passage through time?
God has more tricks than a Las Vegas cardsharp. He promises us joy in the hereafter and sorrow on earth. We convince ourselves that knowing life and living it well in His vale of tears is the supreme defiance of God. Of course, if we are triumphant in our rebellion, God gets even: He denies us immorality at His side and condemns us to eternal pain.'
Translation from the Spanish: Alfred Macadam

Not Waving but Drowning by
Stevie Smith (1902-1971)
Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.
Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he's dead.
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.
Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.
Heroes
Those who swim against the tide...(it's a thankless task but true happiness comes from being true to oneself)

I created this MySpace account simply to connect with film-makers and creative people. I only add bands if I like your music, so I don’t allow friend requests from bands – send me a message and I might listen.
Who I'd like to meet: Someone with whom I can reach a consensus ad idem
but this will never happen so instead, film-makers, artists and other creative people will have to do.

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters, yeah
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know
so close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters
