Indochina: Capa jumps Jeep
Two feet creep up the road
To photo, to record, meat lumps and war
They advance as does his chance
(Ooh) Very yellow-white flash
A violent wrench grips mass
Rips light, tears limbs like rags
Burst so high, finally Capa lands
Mine is a watery pit
Painless with immense distance
From medic, from colleague, friend, enemy, foe
Him five yards from his leg

From you, Taro
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Do not spray into eyes
I have sprayed you into my eyes

3:10 pm: Capa pends death
Quivers, last rattles, last chokes
All colours and cares glaze to grey
Shriveled and stricken to dots
The left hand grasps what the body grasps not
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Le photographe est mort
3.1415, alive, no longer my amour
Fated for home, May of '54
Doors open like arms, my love
Painless with a great closeness
To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing
Reunited with his leg

And with you, Taro
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Taro, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Do not spray into eyes
I have sprayed you into my eyes

Hey, Taro!

Great live version. Brilliant lyrics and form, but incredibly sad tune. Whenever I listen to this tune I think of all the death and suffering in Indochina over the span of those decades. It's a tribute of sorts to that tragic period.

Taro... Vous n'imaginez pas à quel point cette chanson résonne pour moi... Et tellement d'autres... Des kilomètres parcourus pour ressentir au plus profond de moi-même les vibrations de votre musique, de vos sons, de vos voix... Vous êtes mon épiphanie, il y a déjà plus de 10 ans. Et j'en veux encore d'autres...
MERCI

Monday, April 18, 1988

A miniature Fuji has erupted like a sparkling fountain on the mound of Mt Fuji. From that spot a big red ogre is born. The red ogre sits down in front of “A” and “UN”, the guards of the main gate of the temple as if he were keeping an eye on them. Between the two guards a boy named “Taro” is born. The boy slips past the red ogre and escapes, diving into the vortex of time in front of the gate.

He is “Hope”.

the art design - “blue brush on white wall“ - very cool ! like it ! “Taro” matches pretty good with painting..

P.S. I guess it’s not a brush been used for blue, looks more like finger - in thick color - print on white board / wall / paper / who knows?
