Drops of Jupiter




[Verse 2]
Now, that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracin' her way through the constellation, hey-hey (Mmm)
She checks out Mozart while she does Tae-Bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey-hey, yeah
Now, that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as
Plain ol' Jane told a story about a man
Who was too afraid to fly, so he never did land

[Chorus]
But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way?
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?
Was it everything you wanted to find?
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?

[Bridge]
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you
Even when I know you're wrong?
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze-dried romance
Five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had, and me?

[Chorus]
But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet? (Feet)
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day (The light of day)
And head back toward the Milky Way?
And tell me, did you sail across the Sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that Heaven is overrated?
And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar?
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself?

[Outro]
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
And did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day?
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
And did you fall for a shooting star?
Fall for a shooting star?
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
And are you lonely looking for yourself out there?

On the occasion of my last day in action in an OpenText office let me commemorate a most special moment in my career. Peter & Peter at  OpenText Enterprise World 2019  in Toronto. The lyrics of the song  " Fourteen Black Paintings " by  Peter Gabriel  have a deep meaning for me: They connect my iXOS tenure (1996 - 2001) with my OpenText tenure (2003 - 2024), and they express my hope for a changed world where we all can live together in peace. To my congenial co-creators at OpenText:           Thank you for the company ! ________________________________ P.S. Peter (PeLi) has been updated to version 6.1:

Inkompetenzkompensationskompetenz

Competence in Compensating for Incompetence Aus dem Sportteil des Münchner Merkur vom 20.11.2024: Ex-Mentalcoach der Löwen Böswald:  „Bei 1860 herrscht Schwarm-Inkompetenz“ Dort hält sich jeder für hochkompetent, dabei ist das Gegenteil der Fall.   Es gibt ein tolles Wort dafür, das der Philosoph Odo Marquard kreiert hat:  Inkompetenz-Kompensationskompetenz . Marquard meint damit:  Die Fähigkeit, die eigene Unfähigkeit zu vertuschen und mit Pseudokompetenz zu kaschieren.  Die Amerikaner sagen dazu: Fake it till you make it. Auf gut Deutsch: Täusche etwas vor, und wenn sich Erfolg einstellt, kannst du behaupten, es lag an dir.  Das Dumme ist nur: Am Ende setzt sich immer die Inkompetenz durch. ... Schein statt Sein ! Diese Beobachtung könnte auch im Politikteil erschienen sein.

Scattered

Scattered  · David Gilmour Luck and Strange Scattered performed live @ Hollywood Bowl Lyrics [Verse 1] Take my arm and walk with me Once more down this dusty old path The sunset cuts the hill in half Our shadows stretch back to touch the night The light’s fading, you say But these darkening days Flow like honey [Verse 2] These days slowing down A whole life in a glance The clearest light shines in the darkness Shining on me And we’re still doing this dance One step at a time As the days slip by As smooth as glass The moments pass [Chorus] And all these precious things you gave That I’ve been holding in my hands These grains of sand A man stands in a river Pushes against the stream Time is a tide that disobeys It disobeys me [Verse 3] These days slowing down A whole life in a glance The clearest light shines in the darkness Still shining on me And we’re still doing this dance The moon and the stars As the days slip by As smooth as glass The moments pass [Instrumental Break] [Chorus...
