Lyrics to Meaningless : Chasing a dream So many things Capture my affection Running ahead I've been a mess Loosing my perspective This is my obsession Always chasing the wind Left with nothing in the end It's meaningless without you Meaningless these treasures I possess Only you can satisfy Only you sustain my life Without you It's meaningless Feeling you near It's coming clear You've got my attention Filling the void Killing the noise Focus my direction With intimate insistence You overwhelm my senses All I need is before me now Chorus I'm breathing but I can't survive I'm living but I'm not alive without You.

Dido was born Florian Cloud de Bounevialle Armstrong[2][3] at St. Mary Abbots hospital in Kensington, London on Christmas Day 1971.[4] Because she was born on Christmas Day, she also celebrates an "official birthday" on 25 June, following the example of Paddington Bear.[5] Her mother, Clare (née Collins) is a French poet[3] and her father, William O'Malley Armstrong was an Irish publisher and former managing director of Sidgwick & Jackson.[6][7] She has an older brother, Rowland Constantine O'Malley Armstrong[8] who is better known as record producerRollo. Despite their impressive birth names, the pair were known from childhood by the names that are famous now — Dido and Rollo.[3] Dido has made it clear that "Dido" is now her real name and not simply a stage name or nickname.[1][5][9]
Dido was named after the mythical Queen of Carthage. As a child, she had to deal with the ambiguous and unusual nature of her name, which led to her being bullied[1] and even to her pretending to have an ordinary name.[3] As she explains:
To be called one thing and christened another is actually very confusing and annoying. It's one of the most irritating things that my parents did to me. ...Florian is a German man's name. That's just mean. To give your child a whole lot of odd names. They were all so embarrassing. ...I thought it was cruel to call me Dido and then expect me to just deal with it.
Dido was educated at Thornhill Primary, City of London Girls' and Westminster School. After she stole a recorder from school at age five,[10] her parents enrolled her at the Guildhall School of Music in London, England. By the time she reached her teens Dido had learned to play the piano, recorder and the violin. She later studied law at Birkbeck, University of London, while working as a literary agent. She never completed the course, deciding instead to take up music full-time. After learning the guitar, she showcased her skills to audiences during her 2004 Life for Rent tour.
Miriam Zenzi Makeba was born in Johannesburg in 1932. Her mother was a Swazi sangoma and her father, who died when she was six, was a Xhosa. As a child, she sang at the Kilmerton Training Institute in Pretoria, which she attended for eight years.
Makeba first toured with an amateur group. Her professional career began in the 1950s with the Manhattan Brothers, before she formed her own group, The Skylarks, singing a blend of jazz and traditional melodies of South Africa.
She died in Castel Volturno, near Caserta, Italy, in the evening of 9 November 2008, of a heart attack, shortly after taking part in a concert organized to support writer Roberto Saviano in his stand against the Camorra, a mafia-like organisation.In his condolence message, former South African president Nelson Mandela said it was “fitting that Makeba died doing what she did best - singing.”
Nena (born Gabriele Susanne Kerner on March 24, 1960 in Hagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany) is a singer and actress and the co-founder (with three others) of the Neue Schule Hamburg, a school following the Sudbury model. She rose to international fame in 1984 with the New German Wave song "99 Luftballons", whose English version is called "99 Red Balloons". "Nena" was also the name of the band with whom she released the song. With the re-recording and subsequent release of some of her old tracks, her career saw a second wind in 2002.
During Lindenberg’s childhood he developed a feel for rhythm. Taking every opportunity to drum, Lindenberg used petrol cans in lieu of a drum kit. Later he obtained his first real drum kit and in 1962 he began a period of journeying in order to learn his craft. His wandering took him to northern Germany and Gunter Hampel after which he travelled to France, Tripoli and onwards to the Music Academy at Münster. 1968 found Lindenberg in Hamburg where he decided against a career at sea and joined a troupe of folk musicians. In 1969 he was the drummer for City Preachers, Germany’s first folk-rock-band.
In October 1983, the West German rock star was surprisingly permitted to perform in concert at the Palast der Republik in East Germany. At the concert, Lindenberg sang one of his best-known songs (adapting the tune of Chattanooga Choo Choo), Sonderzug nach Pankow ("Special Train To Pankow"), which satirized East German leader Erich Honecker, and which he had been asked not to play. The East German government immediately revoked his permission to complete his scheduled East German concert tour, after he had spent months begging them for permission to perform there. (Lyrics: [1].)

Das hat die Welt noch nicht gesehen
Sag mal, hast du das gesehen, wie sie lachen, wie sie gehen? Manche Wesen sind so schön. Innen wie aussen. Sie verwöhnen deine Sinne und gewöhnen dich wieder an Liebe, die du kennst, zu der du immer wieder rennst. Diese Liebe ist real, so real wie Höllenqualen. Doch Höllenqualen sind egal, wenn sich die Liebe dir entfacht. Doch es ist gut wie es ist. Der Mensch lernt nur, wenn er Scheiße frisst, sonst reift er nicht. Er weiß doch nichts. Ich weiß noch nicht, wann verstreicht die Frist? Das hat die Welt noch nicht gesehen. Trotzdem ist Liebe wunderschön, ist unsichtbar und trotzdem da. Freude und Leid das Ganze Jahr, man nimmt das Leben sonst nicht wahr. Denn mit dem Herz sind wir meist blind. Wer von uns ist schon wie ein Kind? Offen für alles wie der Wind, der doch dem Meer den Regen bringt Er ist so frei und doch gewillt. Gib mir einen Koffer für mein Herz, der ist unendlich viel mehr wert, wenn du ihn mitnimmst, wenn du gehst, ihn bei dir trägst von früh bis spät, ihn dann zurück bringst unversehrt. Ich lauf des öfteren Gefahr, zu vergessen wie schön das Leben bisher war. Mit dir von Anfang an verflochten bis ans Ende meiner Zeit. Wir lieben das Leben und sind dafür bereit. Denn wir alle werfen Schatten auf des Nächsten Licht. Lass dich nicht zerbrechen und fürchte dich nicht vor dem, was da kommt, vor dem, was du fühlst, vor dem, was du liebst. Das hat die Welt noch nicht gesehen. Trotzdem ist Liebe wunderschön, ist unsichtbar und trotzdem da. Freude und Leid das Ganze, ja, man nimmt das Leben sonst nicht wahr. Denn mit dem Herz sind wir meist blind. Wer von uns ist schon wie ein Kind? Offen für alles wie der Wind, der doch dem Meer den Regen bringt Er ist so frei und doch gewillt. Das hat die Welt noch nicht gesehen. Trotzdem ist Liebe wunderschön, ist unsichtbar und trotzdem da. Freude und Leid das Ganze, ja, man nimmt das Leben sonst nicht wahr. Denn mit dem Herz sind wir meist blind. Wer von uns ist schon wie ein Kind? Offen für alles wie der Wind, der doch dem Meer den Regen bringt Er ist so frei und doch gewillt. love is unseen love is your dream but love is no dream love is so real even though its unseen love is unseen love is your dream but love is no dream love is so real even though its unseen love is unseen love is your dream but love is no dream love is so real even though its unseen love is the best feeling i ever had you and me have the cherished love love keep me warm love keeps you warm love is something you have to cherish Das hat die Welt noch nicht gesehen. Trotzdem ist Liebe wunderschön, ist unsichtbar und trotzdem da. Freude und Leid das Ganze, ja, man nimmt das Leben sonst nicht wahr. Denn mit dem Herz sind wir meist blind. Wer von uns ist schon wie ein Kind? Offen für alles wie der Wind, der doch dem Meer den Regen bringt Er ist so frei und doch gewillt. Das hat die Welt noch nicht gesehen.

And I can't believe that I'm your man And I get to kiss you baby just because I can Whatever comes our way
We'll see it through And you know that's what our love can do
And in this crazy life And through these crazy times It's you It's you You make me sing You're every line You're every word You're everything
And so la la la la So la la la la
And in this crazy life And through these crazy times It's you It's you You make me sing You're every line You're every word You're everything

Mariboru ne manjka mostov, čeprav bi danes še kak novi most ne bil odveč. Izmed mostov ima pestro zgodovino "mali most", tako imenovana Studenška brv.
Ko so pred 124. leti zgradili obrat Južnih železnic ob koroškem kolodvoru, je tam delalo okoli 1200 ljudi. Delavci so dobili stanovanja v novih stanovanjskih kolonijah in zasebnih hišah. Pot na delo je bila dolga in mestna občina je leta 1885 zgradila novo prometno povezavo čez reko Dravo z brvjo. Povezovala je mestni del (koroška četrt) s Studenci.
Brv je bila narejena iz treh železnih lokov na dveh lesenih stebriščih sredi Drave. Visoka Drava pa je 13.septembra 1903 brv odnesla. Pri tem sta utonila dva mestna stražnika, ki sta prebivalcem branila prehod čez brv. Leto kasneje so zgradili novo brv. Sredi Drave so tokrat postavili dva zidana stebra, trije ojačani železni loki so povezovali oba bregova.
Drugi dan vojne, 7. aprila 1941, nekaj po 16., uri pa je jugoslovanska vojska brv razstrelila. Okupator je brv obnovil in jo uporabljal do leta 1945.
Zaradi izgradnje elektrarne Mariborski otok je narasla Drava v noči od 8. na 9. julij 1946 brv odnesla. Postavili so novo, ki je bila odprta 25. septembra 1948. Na njej jeasfalt, vozišče pa razširjeno. Razpetine med stebri so po 42 m, širina pa je 3 m.
Leta 2007 so pričeli z rekonstrukcijo brvi. Uradna otvoritev je bila 22. januarja 2008.
Corellijeva mandolina Captain Corelli's Mandolin Film pripoveduje zgodbo vojaka v tuji deželi, ujetem v vojno, v katero ni verjel. Ko so življenja nedolžnih ljudi ogrožena, je on njihovo edino upanje.
CORELLIJEVA MANDOLINA gre po sledeh ljubezni, ki se je rodila med častnikom italijanske okupacijske vojske, stotnikom Antonijem Corellijem (igra ga oskarjevec Nicolas Cage), in Pelagio, trmasto in ambiciozno domačinko (Penelope Cruz). Ko se Corelli in njegovi možje izkrcajo na neokrnjenem otoku, mislijo, da so prišli na brezskrbne počitnice, saj je vojna daleč stran. Pelagia in domačini sprva zavračajo nezaželene goste, toda italijanski šarm in strast do življenja sta močnejša od kulturnih in vojnih razlik. Pelagia vidi v Corelliju moškega polnega ljubezni - do življenja, glasbe in do nje. Na žalost pa vojna pokaže zobe tudi na idilični Kefaloniji in za vedno zmoti mir, ki je zavladal med domačini in italijanskimi vojaki. Nežna vez, ki se je stkala med Antonijem in Pelagio, je v nevarnosti. Stotnik Corelli se mora končno soočiti s kruto resničnostjo in se sprijazniti z dejstvom, da bo moral zapustiti otok in ljubljeno žensko. Pelagia mora priznati svojo nemoč proti vojni in se posloviti od ljubimca, ne da bi vedela, ali se bosta še kdaj srečala. Dolžina: 127 min Režija: John Madden Scenarij: Louis de Berničres, Shawn Slovo Igrajo: Penélope Cruz, Nicolas Cage, Patrick Malahide, Irene Papas, David Morrissey, Christian Bale, John Hurt

Vsebina: Following in the tradition of Clive Cussler and Matthew Reilly, Andy McDermott takes us on a roller-coaster ride in search of the legendary Atlantis. Archaeologist Nina Wilde believes she has found the location of the lost city of Atlantis and now she wants the opportunity to prove her theory. Someone else though wants her dead! With the help of ex-SAS bodyguard Eddie Chase and beautiful heiress Kari Frost, Nina faces a breakneck race against time around the world, pursued at every step by agents of the mysterious - and murderous - Brotherhood of Selasphoros. From the jungles of Brazil to the mountains of Tibet, from the streets of Manhattan to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, the hunt for Atlantis leads to a secret hidden for 11,000 years - which in the wrong hands could destroy civilization as we know it...
