Many of you have already heard of things going on in Iran. I wanted so much to talk openly over these issues and incidents, I even had articles on my mind to publish but…

You guessed it right. Things are different here. You could loose everything in a blink of an eye. So, all I can say is that this election was a huge gain for Iranian people decpite it’s bloody face. Only time can show us.

As you may know, web site was down for one full day. It wasn’t technical fault or anything like that. My so much loved web hosting provider, Bluehost did me a big favor and shut down my web site due to new USA government sanctions on Iran. So thank you new administration, thank you Mr. Obama. You know what? I’ve moved my web site and you can’t put me down forever.

To those responsible in both USA and Iran: IT’S YOUR DAMN PROBLEM NOT PEOPLE’S. I HATE BOTH GOVERNMENTS. I HATE POLITICS.

It’s been a long long time since my last post and it gets harder to write each day that passes along, but I just wanna say I’m still here and I’m back today to break the silence. I haven’t even been able to post the so called reviews I had earlier promised. I’ll do them, it’s a promise.

For now, I’m gonna share one of my favorite songs from Enya. Make sure to watch music video after reading the meaningful lyrics.

Track Name: Only Time

Album: A Day Without Rain (2000)

Artist: Enya

Lyrics:

Who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time…

And who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time…

(interlude)
[Vocals]

Who can say why your heart sighs,
As your love flies?
Only time…

And who can say why your heart cries,
When your love lies?
Only time…

(interlude)
[Vocals]

Who can say when the roads meet,
That love might be,
In your heart.

And who can say when the day sleeps,
If the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart…

(long interlude)
[Vocals]

Who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time…

And who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time…

Who knows?
Only time…

Who knows?
Only time…

As most of you know, Enigma 7 is due to be released on 19th September. You can now have a pre-listening experience through official Enigma myspace page called Enigma Planet (12th to 14th September). I just finished mine, a completely mixed feeling about the new album. I don’t want to comment on the new album right now since I’ll publish a full review later, but the first impression was just fine. I admit that I had higher expectations but I believe that E7 has a strong potential to grow inside just like E6 did on me.

You can also read the comprehensive review about E7 form Enigma Fans web site.

So far, a huge plus for these tracks: The Same Parents, La Puerta Del Cielo, Je T’aime Till My Dying Day, Between Generations .

And here again we have very meaningful track names in revealed tracklisting:

I really can’t wait to listen to this hopefully another masterpiece from Michael Cretu, the man behind Enigma. The title of the album also moves me just like the track names. Besides all these good news, I also read that Michael Creto and his wife Sandra got divorced. This was a sad one but I hope it won’t have any side effects on Michael’s music career.

Anyways, I’m eagerly waiting for 7th Enigma and I hope that I’ll get the same or even higher pure joy I have been experiencing with Enigma’s 6th, A Posteriori.

Update:

The single release for new album was released on August 8th with two tracks of
the new album:

1. Seven Lives

2. La Puerta Del Cielo

In my own opinion, “Seven Lives” is much like E5 style while “La Puerta Del Cielo” is a totally Enigmatic song which takes you off earth. A great and brilliant song that you can’t ask for more! Anytime I listen to it, I visualize “The Door to Heaven”. A perfect match for the meaning, wouldn’t enter Heaven without this song being played

I already wrote about my best ever seen movie, “The Fountain”. This is the official trailer for the movie which pretty much describes it the best. But wait, if you still haven’t watched it, you’ve definitely missed one of best movies in your life.
Also to be told, I had promised to write a review about this movie and yet I’m keeping my word, but it’s not coming that soon. I think I’ll be publishing it within two months.

The mood I’ve been living with for a long time. The mood that many may deny having it, but they do have it. The feeling that seems to be everlasting…

John Cheever (1912-82) :
A lonely man is a lonesome thing, a stone, a bone, a stick, a receptacle for Gilbey’s gin, a stooped figure sitting at the edge of a hotel bed, heaving copious sighs like the autumn wind.

Mother Teresa (1910-97) :
When Christ said: ‘I was hungry and you fed me,’ he didn’t mean only the hunger for bread and for food; he also meant the hunger to be loved.  Jesus himself experienced this loneliness.  He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him.  The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by.  Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that’s real hunger.
