"I could stay awake just to hear you breathing Watch you smile while you are sleeping While you're far away dreaming I could spend my life in this sweet surrender I could stay lost in this moment forever Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't want to close my eyes I don't want to fall asleep Cause Id miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream will never do Id still miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating And I'm wondering what you're dreaming Wondering if its me you're seeing Then I kiss your eyes And thank God were together I just want to stay with you in this moment forever Forever and ever
Don't want to close my eyes I don't want to fall asleep Cause Id miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream will never do Id still miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing
I don't want to miss one smile I don't want to miss one kiss I just want to be with you Right here with you, just like this I just want to hold you close Feel your heart so close to mine And just stay here in this moment For all the rest of time
Don't want to close my eyes I don't want to fall asleep Cause Id miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream will never do Id still miss you baby And I don't want to miss a thing
Don't want to close my eyes I don't want to fall asleep I don't want to miss a thing"
-lyrics of the original song-
This song is by Aerosmith, and you can find it in their live album "Rockin' the Joint". It was part of the soundtrack of the movie Armageddon. When Liv Tyler, the daughter of Steven Tyler (the Aerosmith singer), got a part in the film, Aerosmith decided to record this song.
The movie is starring Bruce Willis (where he saves the world one more time!!!) .
In some far places, in the dark of the night, before the sun rises, sometimes appears the Aurora. Aurora is a winding bright light that seems to dance in the sky.
In northern latitudes it's called Aurora Borealis. The name of Aurora comes to the roman goddess of the dawn. Aurora the goddess, according the roman lore was a beautiful woman, who flies through the sky to announce the arrival of the sun. Her tears are the dew. Tears spilt for the death of her son. Boreal comes from the Greek word "wind".
It's said that after seeing an Aurora, you will be happier for the rest of your life.
The surprising phenomenon is produced in the following way. The sun emits energy charged particles called "solar wind". These solar winds arrive to the Earth (it takes them 2 days), and impact in the atmosphere, and when they crash with the nitrogen and oxygen atoms, they free energy in the form of light. That light is the Aurora. Depending on the chemical element impacted, a specific color will predominate. This phenomenon also happens in other planets.
Apart from technical details, the Aurora is one of the most beautiful shows that nature can offer us. As a magical dream, Aurora appears in the sky and dances for us while we can do nothing but admire it.
One day, I made my own Aurora, a dream only for you. The real Aurora is more beautiful, because the artist who made it is bigger than us all.
With this post I begin a new section, a section called Mythology and Fantasy. Mythology and fantasy is still source of inspiration for many artists, and many people are still interested in this ancient lore of legends.
In all the history of humanity, people always have liked to hear good stories and tell good stories. Mythology and fantasy is a good way to learn, through heroes and creatures, about human relationships.
We can define mythology as a series of stories of a civilization that try to explain the origin of the world. In a beginning stories were spread thought an oral way, and later written and told for generations. Tell this stories to people seeing their expectant eyes could be an eternal pleasure; but for those civilizations it was their truth, their beliefs.
I begin this section with the centaurs, a mythological creature half human and half horse.
Ixion (the Thesalia king) desired Hera, the wife of Zeus (the supreme God). Zeus knew this, so fooled Ixion modeling a cloud with the appearance of Hera; her name will be Nephele. Nephele and Ixion will have a son, a monstrous creature called Centaur.
Centaur had relations with the Pelion's mares so this way the centaurs were born. Centaurs were of violent nature, ate raw meat and were very keen on drinking wine. They had brutal habits and used to take women by the force.
Centaurs were invited to the Lapith king (Piritoo) wedding. They get drunk in the wedding and tried to kidnap the bride and rape the women guests.
Lapiths were really enraged and began a combat, and Centaurs were thrown out from Thesalia. This battle was many times depicted in temples, utensils, figures...
The victory of lapiths represents the victory of the reason over the savagery.
Not every centaurs were cruel and aggressive. Stands out, for example: Pholo and Quiron. Pholo was kind and hospitable, and helped Hercules. And Quiron was the Aquiles teacher.
In the literature doesn't exist the female version of centaur. It was the painter Zeuxis (5th century B.C.) who depicted centaur women.
This video shows the drawings of Boris Vallejo, which is one of the artist who better represents the mythological world.
