One of the things around which I find myself reflecting more and more often is time.

Many times we have found ourselves exchanging our reflections on time even here over our virtual cafés.

I continue to believe in and practise slowness and following the rhythms set by Nature to choose and be happy.

Slowness. A luxury even.

If you can, do you practise slowness?
Do you like to slow down?

Or perhaps you like to organise a thousand things on the wave of ‘he who has time, waits for no time?’

Carmen also emphasises the use of Artificial Intelligence: why delegate our lives to machines?

What do we do with all this time gained because it is not lived?

In fact, very often we fall into the paradox: the acceleration of processes thanks to technology generally does not lead us to have more time for ourselves, but to find ourselves with more things to do. Do you agree?

Beyond speeches or declarations, to be fair, Carmen Consoli seems to live out of time.

Her bio boasts a very long list of awards, accolades, collaborations, yet she always manages to appear measured, always in the right place, with refined musical taste and more.

Elegant? No: True artist.

Artist who found inspiration in Quintus Ennius who spoke and wrote in three languages saying he had three hearts.

From three hearts to three souls:

Sicilian culture soul
Rock soul
Songwriting soul narrative

Sicilian as Nina: first woman poet in Italian literary history.

As you well know I always value the use of dialects.

Rock like experimenting with his father’s Gibson, in the years of radiant Catania when R.E.M. opened the world tour in Catania with openings by the very young Radiohead.

Rock! Ça va sans dire …

Songwriter like La Cantantessa who gave us precious songs like Contessa Miseria from Mediamente Isterica.

Not surprisingly, time also appears in one of its facets in the lyrics of this song.

Confused and Happy, Butter Words, Orange Blossoms, The Last Kiss, In Black and White, do you continue with your favorite?

And what Souls are you?

LOST

Feb 18, 2023 | MUSIC, ROCK, VIDEO

Lost is an entirely unreleased track that anticipates the planned April release of the 20th anniversary celebration edition of Meteora.

2003: after Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park unveils Meteora and still do not know that their work will not be a meteor and will consecrate them to music history.

On Linkin Park’s website you can find these words

congratulations on solving all our puzzles and welcome to our warehouse

As you know I love puzzles!

I don’t know if in the days during which the countdown appeared before the release of Lost you also tried to solve: clicking on the CD case a word game to guess appeared.

Cute, right?

Overall Lost was really a surprise, and honestly hearing Chester Bennington‘s voice in a totally unreleased track triggered a number of seesaw thoughts for me.

Among other things, the lyrics are particularly striking:

… a scar somewhere down inside of me
Something I can not repair ...

… I’m trapped in yesterday
Where the pain is all I know …

… I’m lost in these memories …

But then, considering the official tweet set on the profile, I agreed to consider Lost as a “time capsule.”

In a less metaphorical sense, now the term time capsule is used to refer to an external hard drive for wireless storage, but it also remains the classic “time capsule” we are used to seeing in American movies and beyond.

For example, there is a capsule in the Well Room of the Torre Ghirlandina at the Civic Museum of Modena, which in this video tells us various interesting facts about it

What would you like to put in a time capsule?

According to the International Time Capsule Society there would be more than 10 thousand time capsules in the world. Only one in a thousand is found.

On Focus you can see a gallery with the nine most wanted capsules in the world.

They are lost.

Linkin Park, however, made us find their time, their sense, and they put Anime in it.

Anime アニメ as Kasabake explains on the blog As Circles in the Water comes from “animēshon,” Japanese transliteration of the English word “animation.”

Unfortunately I have huge gaps in the subject, although I find the word Anime poetic and intense, maybe you would like to add something about this wonderful subject?

In the meantime, enjoy your viewing and listening
