This song is the most beautiful and melancholiac Nipponese song I've ever come up across. Performed by Nipponese stone star Gackt, this song talks of a adult male who travel on to love a adult female even though the love will never be returned....The song is perfect in its melancholy, and the powerful voice of the vocalist conveys the song to full force.

Lyrics (romaji)

Translations:

Even though Iodine cognize that my love will never attain you Iodine travel on to love you uncontrollably I desire to throw you in my weaponry 1 more than than than And never allow you travel again

The years I spent with you were like a sweet dreaming I thought that I would never lose them, but...

"I'm not the 1 reflected in your eyes" Hanging my caput low, I couldn't state anything else to you

Even though I cognize that my love will never attain you I travel on to love you uncontrollably I desire to throw you in my weaponry 1 more And never allow you travel again

You touched me gently, just a small diffident In the hesitation visible light between the trees, you are no more than the ephemeral summertime heat

Even now I throw onto the heat that you left behind in my bosom Even though they warn me that the heat will never return...

Even though I cognize that my love will never attain you I go on to love you uncontrollably If I could only ran into you here once more I wouldn't allow you go again

I'll never bury your smiling I kept calling out your name until my voice ran dry...

Even though I cognize that my love will never attain you I go on to love you uncontrollably I desire to throw you in my weaponry once more And never allow you go And never allow you go

[Notes:As you can see from the lyrics, this song is in a social class of its own. It takes a mastermind to compose such as lyrics, and the powerfulness of the words is dramatic along with its harmoniousness with the music.

Just how the song is titled is impressive enough. The statute title of Even Though My Love Volition Never Range You, Uncontrollably Iodine Continue To Love You is a clear indicant of the temper of the song. This is a song filled with very, very deep sorrow of letting spell of someone. It's somes painful song, and i'll never wish for anyone' s life to resemble such as a sorrowful song.

"The years I spent with you were like a sweet dream"-"He loses her a lot, and its obvious the love is deep.

"I'll not the 1 reflected in your eyes"-painful comment as the adult male experiences that she makes not love him.

"Even now I throw onto the heat that you left behind in my bosom Even though they warn me that the heat will never return..."-good memories naturally conveys a warm feeling, but it is also unkind because those memories will never be relived again. Therefore, a warm hurting kips in the heart, to be awaken each clip the memories are triggered.

"I desire to throw you in my weaponry once more than And never allow you travel And never allow you go"- the deep yearning to be with her again. We can also see deep sorrow from this as he emphasizes that he would never allow her spell again, if she were to look once more.

The chorus also states of a very great love, meaning that the adult male is a very sentimental individual that volition not love another easily owed to his lesions from this past.

Rachid Taha compares his music to a plate of couscous. Interviewed via transcriber from his place in France, the 49-year-old Algerian-born singer and planetary hood icon states he was happy to detect that "Frank Zappa had come up to the same decision when he said, 'How to depict my music? Difficult to explicate if you've never tasted couscous.' "

Known for playing a modified version of the oud called the mandolute, Taha states he stands for a nexus "between Africa, the East and the West. In the same manner as Omar Sharif is to cinema," he adds wryly.

A career-spanning Taha retrospective, "Rock Elevation Casbah: The Best Of," was released in the United States this month, in clip for a four-city circuit (which conveys him to San Francisco's Stern Grove Festival July 13). Like couscous, the 15-song cadmium pulls its spirit from many different elements. There's the hood side, represented by his famed version of the Clash's "Rock the Casbah" and the rabble-rousing "Douce France." Taha's love of traditional common people music come ups through on his screens of Farid Elevation Atrache's "Habina" and Dahmane Elevation Harrachi's "Ya Rayah." A philosophical, existentialist facet shows up in "Kelma" ("Thoughts"), and "Ida" ("If"). And "Menfi" - which translates to "The Exile" - computer addresses a outstanding subject in Taha's music, that of identity.

Specifically, the personal identity of being Algerian, Arabic Language and Moslem while life in a state that hasn't always been friendly to immigrants. Coming to French Republic from Algerie at a immature age, he says, "I knew what to expect."

Tradition plays a large function in Taha's music. Yet he's incorporated progressive elements into his style, paving the manner for such as future people as Natascha Atlas and Cheb Mami. In his solo career, he's worked extensively with manufacturer Steve Hillage, who, in improver to adding electronic textures to Taha's sound, "is a guitar-playing Peter O' Toole," he says. (Think "Lawrence of Arabia," not "My Favorite Year.")

Taha is proudest of the fact that his music have often served as a span connecting cultures. His version of "Ya Rayah," for instance, became an interplanetary hit and was used in "around 30" films, he notes.

"The song was No. One in Cyprus, equally among the Turks as among the Greeks," he says. "Not only in Cyprus, but also in Hellenic Republic and in Turkey at the same time. 100 million people vocalizing the same song at the same time! It's the lone thing in the history of this state that they've been able to hold about."

Taha have sometimes been associated with Rai - a genre originated by nomadic shepherds that became modernised during World War two when U.S. GIs landed in Algeria, bringing their instruments with them - and he's jokingly referred to himself as "Rai Orbison."

"Rai," he says, "actually intends 'opinion' and often rai vocalists utilize the look 'Ya Rai' - 'my opinion.' When I state Rai Orbison, I can also be saying Rai Cooder, or Rai Charles."

However, Chaabi - an earlier constitute of North African dad - is more than his style, he says.

"I happen the Chaabi more than rootsy," he says, "and more honorable somehow."

Still, Rai and Chaabi aren't all that far apart.

"Chaabi came first, and then morphed itself into Rai," he says. "But it's just a inquiry of evolution. And attitude."

Taha have certainly got plenty of attitude. As the Pb vocalist for Menu Delaware Sejour ("registration paper") in the mid-'80s, he remade Gallic balladeer Prince Charles Trenet's "Douce France" into a snarling hood anthem - the cultural equivalent of Jimi Jimi Hendrix acting "The Star-Spangled Banner" or Sid Barbarous vocalizing Sinatra's "My Way."

Playing in a French-Algerian hood set taught him one thing, he says: "You have got to remain punk!"

Few things are more than hood than vocalizing a Clang song in Arabic.

"During the first Gulf War," Taha says, "the immature American soldiers sang 'Rock the Casbah' as an anti-Arab hymn. I wanted to put the record straight. Originally, (the song) was an anti-war song."

Taha's version, called "Rock elevation Casbah," was approved by Joe Strummer's widow, Luce, and Clang guitar player Paddy Mother Jones (who have since appeared onstage with Taha on respective occasions). Taha executes the song in the Clang docudrama "Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten," and it have go one of his greatest international hits, earning him a BBC World Music Award in 2006.

Strummer made an "enormous" impact on him, he says, "in the same manner as Chow Berry, Elvis Presley, Bo Jack and Jesse James Brown." He's also a fan of Neil Young, whom he names "the ultimate punk."

It's somewhat of a platitude to name Taha a world-music version of Woody Guthrie, British Shilling Bob Dylan or David Bruce Springsteen, but he doesn't abound at being dubbed a protestation singer. Making music with a message is just a manner of trying to do life better, he says.

"We sing to better things, arouse emotions, give joy," he says, "so you could state that all songs are protestation songs."

Rachid Taha executes at 2 p.m. next Lord'S Day at the Stern Grove Festival, 19th Avenue and Sloat Boulevard, San Francisco. Free. (415) 252-6252, www.stern grove.org.

Frost Giant is trained side Crick Dutrow Jr. and co-owned by IEAH Stables, the same squad that South Korean won the Bluegrass State Bowler Hat and Preakness with Big Brown. The lone lacking member was Kent Desormeaux, who finished last in the Suburban aboard Hunting.

Rudy Rodriguez, who gallops Frost Giant in the mornings, was elated to acquire the mount and gain his first Class 1 victory.

"He have really been different lately," Rodriguez said. "We've had him a few years, but he looks to have got a new attitude. I was very happy Mr. Dutrow kept me on this horse. It was not an easy race, but he ran great." Today in Sports

Dutrow, openly critical of Desormeaux's drive in the Belmont Park after Big Brown finished last, was full of congratulations for Rodriguez.

"I've got to state you, he gave this Equus caballus a very good ride," Dutrow said. "He rode him great, man."

Frost Giant paid $82, $29.20 and $10.40, running the 1 1/4 statute miles on the fast path in 2:01.58. Solar Flare returned $7 and $4.30. Rising Moon, also trained by Dutrow, ran 3rd and paid $4 as a separate betting interest.

Apple have gotten in problem before for . In late April, the company said it offered 10 million songs on its 5-year-old store, but later ratcheted the figure down to 6 million songs. In August 2007, the company said it had 5 million songs.

WASHINGTON: Lt. Daniel Zimmerman, a U.S. Army infantry platoon leader in Iraq, puts a blog on the Internet every now and then "to basically keep my friends and family up to date" back home.

It just got tougher to do that for Zimmerman and a lot of other U.S. soldiers. No more using the military's computer system to socialize and trade videos on MySpace, YouTube and nine other Web sites, the Pentagon says.

Citing security worries and technological limits, the Defense Department has cut off access to those sites for personnel using the Pentagon's computer network. The change limits use of the popular outlets for service members on the front lines, who regularly post videos and journals.

"I put my blog on there,and my family reads it," said Zimmerman, 29, a platoon leader with B Company, 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment.

"It scares the crap out of them sometimes," he said.

"I keep it as vague as possible," he said. "I'm pretty responsible about it. It's just basically to tell a little bit about my life over here," he said.

He is regularly at a base where he does not have Defense Department access to the Internet, but he has used it when he goes to bigger bases. He will have to rely always on a private account now.

Memos about the change went out in February, and it took effect last week. It does not affect Internet cafes that soldiers in Iraq use that are not connected to the Defense network. The cafe sites are run by a private vendor, FUBI (For US By Iraqis).

Also, the Pentagon said that many of the military computers on the front lines in Iraq that are on the department's network had blocked the YouTube and MySpace sites previously.

The ban also does not affect other sites, such as Yahoo, and does not prevent soldiers from sending messages and photos to their families by e-mail.

Internet use has become a troublesome issue for the military as it struggles to balance security with privacy rights. As blogs and video-sharing become more common, the military has voiced increasing worries about service members revealing details of military operations or other information about equipment or procedures that could aid the fighters on the other side.

At the same time, service members have used the Web sites to chronicle their time in battle, posting videos and writing journals that provide powerful personal glimpses into their days at war.

"These actions were taken to enhance and increase network security and protect the use of the bandwidth," said Col. Gary Keck, a Pentagon spokesman.

The Pentagon said use of the video sites in particular was putting a strain on the network, and also opening it to potential viruses or penetration by so-called "phishing" attacks in which scam artists try to steal sensitive data by mimicking legitimate Web sites.

"The U.S. Army's not going to pay the bill for you to get on MySpace and YouTube," said Maj. Bruce Mumford, who is serving as the brigade communications officer for the 4th Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, in Iraq. "Soldiers need to know what they can and cannot do, but we shouldn't be facilitating it."

After the warnings of the shutdown went out, military members were allowed to seek waivers if the sites were necessary for their jobs. Often insurgent groups post videos, including ones of attacks or, in some high-profile cases, of U.S. or coalition soldiers who have been captured or killed.

"I guess it's a good general policy," Zimmerman said about the ban on MySpace and YouTube. "If people could be trusted not to break operational security, then they wouldn't need to have the policy."

If the restrictions are intended to prevent soldiers from giving or receiving bad news, they could also prevent them from providing positive reports from the field, said Noah Shachtman, who runs a national security blog for Wired Magazine.

"This is as much an information war as it is bombs and bullets," he said, "and they are muzzling their best voices."

The sites covered by the ban are the video-sharing sites YouTube, Metacafe, IFilm, StupidVideos and FileCabi; social networking sites MySpace, BlackPlanet and Hi5; music sites Pandora, MTV, 1.fm and live365; and the photo-sharing site Photobucket.
