Back in 1996

I’ve been thinking all the day, busy and running everywhere for work, but at the same time, too much time to think. I came home pretty late tonight and i dunno how i thought of this, but i found a loooong video from one favvo singer from my young time on youtube.

This is a special thing how music can bring you back to some states of mind. For me, Ben, it was 1996 and later, it was “everyone tinks i’m a nerd but i don’t give a shit because my reality has nothing to do with your stupidity”. A little later, it was my comfort when things were a little heavy to carry by myself. When i began to study, he was my companion at nights, nights that i spent learning millions of things that i’ve forgotten now. Ben and Led Zeppelin.

1996, i thought i was immortal. I would succeed in everything. only if i gave it a try. It worked. Almost. I remember almost every morning, when i was walking to the bus stop, i was feeling “oh what a wonderful day is beginning now, i will do whatever i want”. I had energy to climb mountains and did not give a s*** about what people could think of me. Exept this boy Paul-Olivier. But he was not seeing me anyway, so i couldn’t care less. I was about to conquer the world. Was I?

Time to go to sleep, listen to that first.  

It will make a weak man mighty it will make a mighty man fall it will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all it’s the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame it is love for hate and pride for shame that’s the power of the gospel that’s the power of the gospel that’s the power of the mighty power that’s the power of the gospel gospel on the water gospel on the land the gospel in every woman the gospel in every man gospel in the garden gospel in the trees, the gospel that’s inside of you the gospel inside of me in the hour of richness in the hour of need for all of creation comes from the gospel seed now you may leave tomorrow and you may leave today but you’ve got to have the gospel when you start out on your way
