Wind of Change

“Vom Winde verweht. Leider."

Triggered by the recent The Pioneer Briefing podcast.





[Intro]
(*Whistling*)

[Verse 1]
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
(*Whistling*)

[Verse 2]
The world is closing in
And did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers?
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

[Chorus]
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (Dream away)
In the wind of change
Mmm

[Verse 3]
Walking down the street
And distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
And down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

[Chorus]
Take me (Take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (A glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (Share their dreams)
With you and me (With you and me)
Take me (Take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (A glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (Dream away)
In the wind of change (The wind of change)

[Bridge]
The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a storm wind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say (Say)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Take me (Take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (A glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (Share their dreams)
With you and me (With you and me)
Take me (Take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (A glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (Dream away)
In the wind of change (The wind of change)

[Outro]
(*Whistling*)



Modified lyrics (Dedicated to Ukraine)

Now listen to my heart,
It says Ukrainia
Waiting for the wind
To change
 
A dark and lonely night
Our hopes and dreams won't die
Waiting for the wind
To change
 
The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close,
Like brothers
 
The future’s in the air
Can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind
Of change
 
(Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change)

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past, forever
 
Now listen to my heart,
It says Ukrainia
Waiting for the wind
To change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
 
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
 
The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say:

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
With you and me

(Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change)

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change...

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...
