Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away

Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz
Album: 5 Released: 1998

I wish that I could fly,
into the sky, so very high.
Just like a drangonfly.
I'd fly above the trees,
over the seas, in all degrees.
To anywhere I please.
Oh,

I want to get away.
I wanna fly away. (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I want to get away.
I wanna fly away. (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Let's go to see the stars,
the Milky Way, or even Mars.
Where it can just be ours.
Let's fade into the sun,
let your spirit fly, where we are one.
Just for a little fun.
Oh, oh, oh yeah!

I want to get away.
I wanna fly away. (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I want to get away.
I wanna fly away. (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I gotta get away...
Girl, I gotta get away...
Oh, oh, oh yeah!

I want to get away.
I wanna fly away. (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I want to get away.
I wanna fly away. (yeah, yeah yeah)
I want to get away, I want to get away.
I want get away, I want to get away. YEAH!

I want to get away.
I wanna fly away. (yeah, yeah, yeah)

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!

This song was done very quickly, after the album was already finished. Kravitz originally intended it to be a B-Side only, but a friend who heard that song finally convinced him to call his record company, stop the whole procedure and added the song to the album.

This won a Grammy in 1998 for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. Kravitz won the same award the next 2 years for "American Woman" and "Again."

The lyrics are very simple, which makes the song great for sports montages and movie scenes where there is no deep meaning trying to be conveyed. Kravitz feels good songwriting can be done with very basic ideas.

Kravitz told Guitar World magazine that sometimes the sound of a guitar or amp you pick up makes you play a certain type of riff, and when he picked up the guitar that time, the sound made him play the riff for this song.

“Ἀσκητική τῆς Ἁγάπης” - Γαβριηλίας μοναχῆς

Γερόντισσα Γαβριηλία Παπαγιάννη 1897-1992
Ανάργυρη, νηπτική, ασκήτρια και ιεραπόστολος των λεπρών, των τυφλών και των απολωλότων ή ταπεινή προσφορά του ολοκαυτώματος ενός ανθρώπου στον Θεό και τον Πλησίον.
Ένα ταξίδι στην καρδιά της Αγάπης σε 94 χρόνια και 4 ηπείρους.

Mariza - Meu fado

Trago um fado no meu canto
Canto a noite até ser dia
Do meu povo trago pranto
No meu canto a Mouraria

Tenho saudades de mim
Do meu amor, mais amado
Eu canto um país sem fim
O mar, a terra, o meu fado
Meu fado, meu fado, meu fado, meu fado

De mim só me falto eu
Senhora da minha vida
Do sonho, digo que é meu
E dou por mim já nascida

Trago um fado no meu canto
Na minh'alma vem guardado
Vem por dentro do meu espanto
A procura do meu fado
Meu fado, meu fado, meu fado, meu fado


thnx Menia !

Ομιλία Πατρός Παϊσίου μέσα στο κελί του.
