Life, Oh Life!

20.04.2024

In which I mean to play some songs about spring but get a little distracted by songs about mining, choral music, fado, a lullaby. Featuring Blaze Foley, Arvo Pärt, Fairouz, Charlie Chaplin, Jewish-Viennese composer Hermann Leopoldi and more…

I called the episode ‚Life, Oh Life,‘ after the Romanian song which I play two different renditions of in this episode, but it appears a more accurate translation would be “World, World“:

World, world, sister world When will I have enough of you? World, sister world When I give up bread for Lent And the glass will give up on me World, sister world Maybe then I’ll have enough of you When they hammer the nails on my coffin World, sister world When they put me in my grave And I won’t be on earth anymore World, sister world ‚Cause that’s how the world is, transient One is born, another dies World, sister world The born one suffers The dead one rots World, sister world
