Crazy!, Obsessed . yes I am.

Oh my GOD, I AM, became, obsessed with him, the actor, the writer, and most of all the human being that was Dirk Bogarde.
I need to make a label here for him, Because my posts about him are increasing in a way I didn't expect myself ! and I'm labeling the older posts too. These posts about him seem to be continuing for some more time, I'm still digging and discovering and every thing I find makes me want more, and probably makes me want to write more even if I didn't actually write, for what ever reason.
I even can't work with concentration, I sneak into the web browser and search for the books by him or about him and read what I can. Unfortunately I can't find these books in hard copies and so I have to search for soft copies online. Which is also hard to find easily.
I've been thinking  while I'm searching and reading and watching and listening, why do I do this in this fierce rate?. I have a reason or two that I'll keep to my self, But I think one of the important reasons is that I like mystery and so I try to solve, or imagine to have solved, what is to me is identified as a puzzle, This man.
Second, what he says; most of it is again, as I said before, resonating inside my head and inside my heart in a way that frightened me once or twice :(. I think that's why I' am always feeling the urge to cry when thinking of a something he wrote or said.

I've found these pages about him because I'm searching the web in every possible way for any new line that can shed a light on this super man, even in his faults he was super!.Any way this page contains some quotes from one of his books That I need badly to read, Snakes and Ladders .

Thoughts about and by Bogarde

The Bogarde Mystique

The one that I need to copy and put in here is this one :)

"Isolation, even from choice as in my case, incubates self-centredness like a culture...Living in a tower, however secure it may feel, is hardly a social attribute...It was said of me recently that I suffered from an Obsessional Privacy. I can only suppose it must be true." (from A Postillion Struck by Lightening by Dirk Bogarde).

There are very few people that If it was possible I would have loved to be near them in their life at any era since dawn of history, two of them are Egyptian men lived the peak of their lives in the first half of 20th century, the third man ever that I wished to live near is Dirk.

Dirk Bogarde sings Lyrics for Lovers

Dirk the actor !

So, tonight I'm continuing with Bogarde the actor, I mentioned that I met him first in a light movie of his starts where he was just a pretty boy.  The second movie I watched for him was Sebastian, he was a mature man then, and Sebastian also rang a bell, I found it aching but funny, some how I identified with Sebastian I think, only difference is that I'm in a slightly better condition :D.

from then on I watched Justine, Hunted, Doctor at sea , a part from Doctor in distress, Victim, Cast  a dark shadow, The damned, The night porter, The password is courage, Desperate moment, The angle wore red , Esther Waters and Campbell's kingdom . So you see , I really became obsessed :D :D :D 

most of these  movies were good value, the damned certainly was shocking and repulsive yet I liked how it was made, how really really it showed how ugly Nazism is, it's so powerful that it can turn anyone even a Nazi against Nazism :).

Victim is praised to be the first movie in British cinema to talk frankly about homosexuals and even defending them in a way, and Bogarde was praised for courage to do a role which could have ended his career; and he did it well enough. 

I liked him especially as the priest in angel wore red and in the password is courage, in hunted and cast a dark shadow .

But what really made me want to talk about Dirk the actor is the movie 'The night porter'. I loved this movie. Yes , as simple as that, I Loved it. I have to say that I watched it on YouTube on 11 parts with the 10th missing. I maybe missing a lot of details when watching over YouTube but still , what I have watched , and I watched it for 3 times in one week, was so good to make me believe it's his best movie for me so far. I still want badly to watch the servant , darling and Death in Venice which he himself considers to be his best work.

The first time was a shock and amusement, a shock because of the content as whole and what to make of it; amusement, basically because of Charlotte Rampling, she could look convincing as 14 years old girl  and a 30 years old woman  at the same movie :D also , the way she and Dirk moved near each other especially in his apartment , they moved like cats I thought , in a very natural way that must make you notice and wonder!. I don't think I've ever seen any such movement in any other movie, and I have seen a lot.
What kept me needing to see the movie again and again was Bogarde (as Max) performance in 3 scenes, when he spots her in the hotel for the first time after a long time, when he introduces his *present* to her after her topless dance in the camp, and when he tells the countess about his/their *Biblical* story. he was AMAZING in those 3 scenes .  

Max telling his biblical story ! 

The later 2 scenes told me very clearly that Max is Crazy & in Love, both. I adore seeing his expression when he waits her to open the *present*. The first scene tells me that he is still in love with her, after all these years, He is not afraid as much as he is confused.

Also one of the most important scenes that actually got me so confused the first time watching was the scene  between them both in her room after her husband leaves the hotel. I didn't hear what they were saying clearly,And I was surprised by the dynamics in the scene, they were again two wild cats , really Wild this time, I mean later in his apartment they both were more timid cats, but in that scene they were both very wild , confusing, That particular scene used their bodies and voices not their faces most of the time, and used light and shadow in a super way. At the end of it , Max stands tall and assured in the door way saying one very confident phrase. I love his tone saying that phrase.

"If you want to call Frankfurt, Just pick up the phone!"

Almost all the reviews I read about this movie see it as the Nazi officer criminal / concentration camp victim tale, condemning what he did to her and seeing her submission to him as a result for their SM relationship. But from my first viewing I dare say I saw a love story , twisted and sick maybe, but still a love story between them both, and to my enjoyment, skimming YouTube for any interviews about this movie I found one where Charlotte Ramling herself said they did - she and Bogarde - saw the story as a love story and that's how they both and the director decided to present it.
The Poster tells me I'm right :) the yin-yang in it , Max is yin and Lucia is yang or vice versa , Max himself has a yin-yang feelings and actions ,and so is Lucia.
The yin yang symbol by definition says it is "a circle divided by an S-shaped line into a dark and a light segment, representing respectively yin and yang, each containing a 'seed' of the other".And that's, I believe, is a huge part of what this movie wanted to say, not defending a Nazi soldier, Just putting some light on examples of tormented souls. and leaves us to make sense of what they are. as every good movie, leaves us audience thinking a lot about the why and why not, a good satisfying interpretation for what we just saw. I'll never believe that Dirk Bogarde was ever to make any movie defending Nazis any way.

Now , on September 7th I add this to the post :)

First , a photo of a long scene I referred to above, I got it from Sir Dirk Bogarde Facebook page. The scene where they both acted like wild cats, to the left is the start of the scene, and to the right is the end of it :).Mark the way he stands to the left and then to the right :) It is why I love that scene really.

Actually I couldn't find any other photo for this part of the scene and to me these 2 parts of the long scene are as important as the rest of it.

I'm continuing to talk about the movie because basically I was too tired yesterday to collect all my thoughts or what I want to say about the movie .

The most important to say first that I think the heading quote I use in this blog - the one by Tawfiq Al-Hakim - could have been used as a perfect start for this movie .
" Within man lies a deep wondrous spot, to which neither virtue nor vice can reach. Upon which the sun of reason and will never rise. In which the mouth of logic never speaks "

I mean lots tried to find a reason for why Lucia had left her husband for Max, may be a Stockholm syndrome could satisfy some people as an explanation, but frankly it didn't satisfy me.

Also, I need to say that one of the most powerful scenes to me was the scene where all the new prisoners in the camp are naked and being asked their info. as simple and calm as it was, It shocked me to the bone and the one thought that came into my mind was Dante Alighieri's Inferno. I think the director did a very good job with such simple but powerful scenes. The carousel shots is another example. I liked most of what she decided to do in that movie :)

I Think that's all I want to say about this movie, and right now I'm fighting the urge to swatch it for the fourth time in 10 days or so :D 

Cheesy adolescent :D

Today my mom retrieved me an old cassette of mine :), back in time when I was young I used to buy blank cassettes and record my then favorite music on them so that I could have a tape full only of songs that I like and nothing else.
I would play those tapes on and on endlessly while I did what ever I had to do, play, cook, study , any thing . Today I relieved the situation again, it was like a deja vu :D cooking to my recorded music. It was great and funny in a way  :D .
Funny because mainly I smiled at the cheesiness of some of the songs I chose to record back then :D :D I guess I can attribute that to the age I recorded it, the adolescence, little did I know about good music I suppose but probably my taste was under-development  back then. I mean I had good music as well, but some songs in that tape I would never ever include in my favorite song's collection at all.
One of those Songs i'm sorry to declare is Lady, Kenny Rogers. I guess maybe in this particular song it is because it was almost a stable in every wedding I attended through the 1980s and early 90s , so may be I coupled it with  romance as I imagined it back then :D :D  Today If I'm choosing a romantic song to include in my romantic collection I'd probably not choose a song with that same atmosphere as "Lady".But then again, It might not be that cheesy after all and I just grew up and believe that romance is much more complicated than the simplicity of Lady  ... don't know!.

When Harry Met Sally - 1989

LOOOOOVE That movie :) :) :)

And one messed up relationship doesn't mean it's all relationships are messed up.

اذ طالما غيّر النأيُ المحبّينا

تحفة من تحف فيروز ووديع الصافي معا :)

اذا كان ذنبي ان حبّكِ سيدي فكل ليالي العاشقينَ ذنوبٌ

اتوبُ الى ربي واني لمرةٍ يسامحني ربي اليك اتوبُ

بروحِيَ تلك الارض ما اطيب الربا وما احسن المصطافَ والمتربّعا

وأذكُرُ أيام الحمى ثم أنثني على كبدي من خشيةٍ أن تصدّعا

وليست عشيّاتُ الحمى برواجعٍ اليكَ ولكن خلّ عينيكَ تدمعا

كأنا خلقنا للنوى وكانّما حرامٌ على الايام ان نتجمّعا

غدا منادينا محكما فينا يقضي علينا الاسى لولا تأسّينا

يا جيرة بانت عن مغرم صبّ لعهده خانت من غير ما ذنب

لا تحسبوا البعد يغيّر العهدَ اذ طالما غيّر النأيُ المحبّينا

ولا قرب نُعمٍ ان دنت لك نافعٌ ولا نأيُها يُثني ولا انتَ تصبرُ

اذا جئت فامنح طرف عينيك غيرها لكي يحسبوا ان الهوى حيث تنظُرُ

يا شقيق الروح من جسدي اهوىً بي منك ام ألَمُ

أيها الظبيُ الذي شَرَدا تركتني مقلتاك سُدا

عموا أني اراكَ غدا وأظُنُّ الموتَ دونَ غَدي أين منّي اليومَ ما زعموا

أُدنُ شيئأ أيها القمر كادَ يمحو نورك الخَفَرُ

أدَلالٌ ذاك أم حذرُ يا نسيمَ الروح من بلدي خبّر الاحباب كيفَ هُمُ

حامل الهوى تعبُ يستخفّه الطرب

ان بكى يحق له ليس ما به لعبُ

كلما انقضى سَبَبٌ منكِ عادَ لي سَبَبُ

تعجبينَ من سَقَمي صحّتي هيَ العجَبُ

يا غزالاً في كثيب انت في حسنٍ وطيبِ

يا قريب الدارما وصلك مني بقريبِ

ياحبيبي بأبي انسيتني كل حبيبِ

لشقائي صاغك الله حبيبا للقلوب

ثورة الشك ... أم كلثوم

 ... فى يوم من الأيام من سنين حطيت الأغنية دى فى البلوج .. كأغنية مفضلة ليا من أغانى العبقرية  أم كلثوم  لكن دايما دايما  كنت بأفكر ... يا ترى الأغنية دى ممكن تعبر فى الزمن ده عن موقف بين محبين زى ما باقى أغاني أم كلثوم بتعبر؟  ...و تعبير عبقري الحقيقة فى كل أغانيها على الأقل اللى أنا أعرفها.. بصراحة .. كنت أستبعدها دايما من الأغانى اللى ممكن تنطبق فى الزمن الحالى ..معرفش ليه

لحد ما إتحطيت أنا فى موقف خلى الأغنية دى هى المعبر الوحيد تقريبا عن حالى .. ثورة شك و تردد بين حالين. مش شك الخيانة... شك الهجر .. هل ممكن يكون خلاص قرر أنه يتخلى عنى ... هل تصرفاته دى بتعنى كده زي ما بالتأكيد يمكن تفسير التجاهل التام لوجودي!...ولا تصرفاته دى لها تفسير منطقى أنا و صلت له بعد عذاب ... هو تفسير لحد ما على الجانب المتفائل ... أنه خايف يقرب منى تانى... لحد أما نشوف هانوصل لأيه  ...ده تفسير كان بيحطنى على الجانب الهادى نسبيا ... الجانب العاصف بقى كان الوضع فيه أنه هجر و كمان فيه واحدة تانية ظهرت فى الصورة ... جانب كان فيه خوفى من فقده و غيرة حبيبة ما أخدتش فرصتها أنها تدافع عن حقها فى حبيبها اللى خدته واحدة تانية و كبرياء أنثى مش متقبلة فكرة أنها هجرت. بس أنا أزاى أشك  فيه هو ... حبيبي اللى وثقت فيه الثقة دى كلها ؟؟ جزء كبير من ثورتى الداخلية سببه عدم تصديقى انه ممكن  يخون ثقتى فيه .. انه على الأقل لو قرر هجري ها يتحلى بشجاعة كافية أنه يقول لى كده مباشرة بدون لف و لا دوران و لا انسحاب صامت 

بناء عليه إكتشفت كالعادة مدى عبقرية أم كلثوم فى إختيارها لكلمات أغانيها ... و هاحط الأغنية هنا تانى          

الله يرحمك يا ست بحق المشاعر اللى عبرتي عنها نيابة عن ناس كتير        

القرار النهائي ...

A Thousand kisses deep !

ابن زيدون ....أضْحَى التّنائي بَديلاً عنْ تَدانِينَا

أضْحَى التّنائي بَديلاً عنْ تَدانِينَا

وَنَابَ عَنْ طيبِ لُقْيانَا تجافينَا

ألاّ وَقَد حانَ صُبحُ البَينِ، صَبّحَنا

حَيْنٌ، فَقَامَ بِنَا للحَيْنِ نَاعيِنَا

مَنْ مبلغُ الملبسِينا، بانتزاحِهمُ

حُزْناً، معَ الدهرِ لا يبلى ويُبْلينَا

أَنَّ الزَمانَ الَّذي مازالَ يُضحِكُنا

أُنساً بِقُربِهِمُ قَد عادَ يُبكينا

غِيظَ العِدا مِنْ تَساقِينا الهوَى فدعَوْا

بِأنْ نَغَصَّ، فَقالَ الدهر آمينَا

فَانحَلّ ما كانَ مَعقُوداً بأَنْفُسِنَا؛

وَانْبَتّ ما كانَ مَوْصُولاً بأيْدِينَا

وَقَدْ نَكُونُ، وَمَا يُخشَى تَفَرّقُنا

فاليومَ نحنُ، ومَا يُرْجى تَلاقينَا

يا ليتَ شعرِي، ولم نُعتِبْ أعاديَكم

هَلْ نَالَ حَظّاً منَ العُتبَى أعادينَا

لم نعتقدْ بعدكمْ إلاّ الوفاء لكُمْ

رَأياً، ولَمْ نَتَقلّدْ غَيرَهُ دِينَا

ما حقّنا أن تُقِرّوا عينَ ذي حَسَدٍ

بِنا، ولا أن تَسُرّوا كاشِحاً فِينَا

كُنّا نرَى اليَأسَ تُسْلِينا عَوَارِضُه

وَقَدْ يَئِسْنَا فَمَا لليأسِ يُغْرِينَا

بِنْتُم وَبِنّا، فَما ابتَلّتْ جَوَانِحُنَا

شَوْقاً إلَيكُمْ، وَلا جَفّتْ مآقِينَا

نَكادُ، حِينَ تُنَاجِيكُمْ ضَمائرُنا

يَقضي علَينا الأسَى لَوْلا تأسّينَا

حَالَتْ لِفقدِكُمُ أيّامُنا، فغَدَتْ

سُوداً، وكانتْ بكُمْ بِيضاً لَيَالِينَا

إذْ جانِبُ العَيشِ طَلْقٌ من تألُّفِنا؛

وَمَرْبَعُ اللّهْوِ صَافٍ مِنْ تَصَافِينَا

وَإذْ هَصَرْنَا فُنُونَ الوَصْلِ دانية ً

قِطَافُها، فَجَنَيْنَا مِنْهُ ما شِينَا

ليُسقَ عَهدُكُمُ عَهدُ السّرُورِ فَما

كُنْتُمْ لأروَاحِنَ‍ا إلاّ رَياحينَ‍ا

لا تَحْسَبُوا نَأيَكُمْ عَنّا يغيّرُنا؛

أنْ طالَما غَيّرَ النّأيُ المُحِبّينَا!

وَاللهِ مَا طَلَبَتْ أهْواؤنَا بَدَلاً

مِنْكُمْ، وَلا انصرَفتْ عنكمْ أمانينَا

يا سارِيَ البَرْقِ غادِ القصرَ وَاسقِ به

مَن كانَ صِرْف الهَوى وَالوُدَّ يَسقينَا

وَاسألْ هُنالِكَ: هَلْ عَنّى تَذكُّرُنا

إلفاً، تذكُّرُهُ أمسَى يعنّينَا؟

وَيَا نسيمَ الصَّبَا بلّغْ تحيّتَنَا

مَنْ لَوْ على البُعْدِ حَيّا كان يحيِينا

فهلْ أرى الدّهرَ يقضينا مساعفَة ً

مِنْهُ، وإنْ لم يكُنْ غبّاً تقاضِينَا

رَبيبُ مُلكٍ، كَأنّ اللَّهَ أنْشَأهُ

مِسكاً، وَقَدّرَ إنشاءَ الوَرَى طِينَا

أوْ صَاغَهُ وَرِقاً مَحْضاً، وَتَوجهُ

مِنْ نَاصِعِ التّبرِ إبْداعاً وتَحسِينَا

إذَا تَأوّدَ آدَتْهُ، رَفاهِيّة ً

تُومُ العُقُودِ، وَأدمتَهُ البُرَى لِينَا

كانتْ لَهُ الشّمسُ ظئراً في أكِلّته

بَلْ ما تَجَلّى لها إلاّ أحايِينَا

كأنّما أثبتَتْ، في صَحنِ وجنتِهِ

زُهْرُ الكَوَاكِبِ تَعوِيذاً وَتَزَيِينَا

ما ضَرّ أنْ لمْ نَكُنْ أكفاءه شرَفاً

وَفي المَوَدّة ِ كافٍ مِنْ تَكَافِينَا؟

يا رَوْضَة ً طالَما أجْنَتْ لَوَاحِظَنَا

وَرْداً، جَلاهُ الصِّبا غضّاً، وَنَسْرِينَا

ويَا حياة ً تملّيْنَا، بزهرَتِهَا

مُنى ً ضروبَاً، ولذّاتٍ أفانينَا

ويَا نعِيماً خطرْنَا، مِنْ غَضارَتِه

في وَشْيِ نُعْمَى ، سحَبنا ذَيلَه حينَا

لَسنا نُسَمّيكِ إجْلالاً وَتَكْرِمَة ً؛

وَقَدْرُكِ المُعْتَلي عَنْ ذاك يُغْنِينَا

إذا انفرَدَتِ وما شُورِكتِ في صِفَة ٍ

فحسبُنا الوَصْفُ إيضَاحاً وتبْيينَا

يا جنّة َ الخلدِ أُبدِلنا، بسدرَتِها

والكوثرِ العذبِ، زقّوماً وغسلينَا

كأنّنَا لم نبِتْ، والوصلُ ثالثُنَا

وَالسّعدُ قَدْ غَضَّ من أجفانِ وَاشينَا

إنْ كان قد عزّ في الدّنيا اللّقاءُ بكمْ

في مَوْقِفِ الحَشرِ نَلقاكُمْ وَتَلْقُونَا

سِرّانِ في خاطِرِ الظّلماءِ يَكتُمُنا

حتى يكادَ لسانُ الصّبحِ يفشينَا

لا غَرْوَ في أنْ ذكرْنا الحزْنَ حينَ نهتْ

عنهُ النُّهَى ، وَتركْنا الصّبْرَ ناسِينَا

إنّا قرَأنا الأسَى ، يوْمَ النّوى ، سُورَاً

مَكتوبَة ً، وَأخَذْنَا الصّبرَ تلقينا

أمّا هواكِ، فلمْ نعدِلْ بمَنْهَلِهِ

شُرْباً وَإنْ كانَ يُرْوِينَا فيُظمِينَا

لمْ نَجْفُ أفقَ جمالٍ أنتِ كوكبُهُ

سالِينَ عنهُ، وَلم نهجُرْهُ قالِينَا

وَلا اخْتِياراً تَجَنّبْناهُ عَنْ كَثَبٍ

لكنْ عَدَتْنَا، على كُرْهٍ، عَوَادِينَا

نأسَى عَليكِ إذا حُثّتْ، مُشَعْشَعَة ً

فِينا الشَّمُولُ، وغنَّانَا مُغنّينَا

لا أكْؤسُ الرّاحِ تُبدي من شمائِلِنَا

سِيّما ارْتياحٍ، وَلا الأوْتارُ تُلْهِينَا

دومي على العهدِ، ما دُمنا، مُحافِظة ً

فالحرُّ مَنْ دانَ إنْصافاً كما دينَا

فَما استعضْنا خَليلاً منكِ يحبسُنا

وَلا استفدْنا حبِيباً عنكِ يثنينَا

وَلَوْ صبَا نحوَنَا، من عُلوِ مطلعه

بدرُ الدُّجى لم يكنْ حاشاكِ يصبِينَا

أبْكي وَفاءً، وَإنْ لم تَبْذُلي صِلَة ً

فَالطّيفُ يُقْنِعُنَا، وَالذّكرُ يَكفِينَا

وَفي الجَوَابِ مَتَاعٌ، إنْ شَفَعتِ بهِ

بيضَ الأيادي، التي ما زِلتِ تُولينَا

إليكِ منّا سَلامُ اللَّهِ ما بَقِيَتْ

صَبَابَة ٌ بِكِ نُخْفِيهَا، فَتَخْفِينَا

يا من بدمعي - مروان خوري

آه على الأيام

لم تبق إلا كلام

ماض هوى وتأوهاً .. وتحسراً

لا .. انا لن أحب سواه

لم يُبقِ مني هواه .. شجرا بدا في القلب منها تصحرا

ياه .. يا من بدمعي تعطرّت

وبعتم ليلي تكحلّت

وبفيض شوقي تجمّلت وتدللت

ياه سبحان من خلى الهوى .. حكراً عليها

فانطوى عمري بها وتجبّرت وتكبّرت

من .. من يشتري الأحلام

العمر و الأيام مني

فلا كُنت ولا كان الهوى

آه .. آه على الزمن .. ما كان ينصفني

فأعزّها حبي لها .. وأذلني

ياه .. يا من بدمعي تعطرت .. وبعتم ليلي تكحلت

وبفيض شوقي تجمّلت وتدللت

ياه سبحان من خلى الهوى .. حكرا عليها

فانطوى عمري بها وتجبرت وتكبرت

مــــا انت يا قلبي فما

زلت بحبي تهيم .. تشدو الليالي .. وتهوى إرتحالي

وعشق المحال

مـــا انت يا قلبي فما زلت لحبي أسير

رفقا بحالي .. الست تُبالي بدمعي يا غالي

ياه .. يا من بدمعي تعطرت .. وبعتم ليلي تكحلت

وبفيض شوقي تجمّلت وتدللت

ياه سبحان من خلى الهوى .. حكرا عليها

فانطوى عمري بها وتجبرت وتكبرت

موشحات ..أخري

وجدت و تأكدت من قالبي الموسيقي المفضل ... الموشحات 

  زمااااااان  كنت كتبت البوست ده عن الموشحات و إزاى خلتنى أدور شوية عن العالم اللى كان وراء إنتاج الكلمات و الألحان للموشحات . ده كان نتيجة مجموعة الموشحات الأندلسية لفيروز اللى أهدانى إياها صديق قديم كان "مجنون مزيكا"  .. من فترة زميلة من عمري فكرتنى بموشحات فرقة رضا و للحق لم أكن أتذكر إلا موشحين منهم فقط .. لكن اليوتيوب الله يكرم بعض مستخدميه كشف  لى مجموعة  أخرى رائعة أرجعتنى  لحالات مزاجية رائعة مرت من سنوات و أعتقدت وكنت أجزم أنها لا يمكن تعود لأن ظروفها لن تتكرر

  لحظ رنا بتخليني فووووووق السحاب ...الكلمات و اللحن و الأداء  .. لكن آه وقلبي و القمر  بترجعنى لنفس المكان و الزمان و الحالة  اللى كتبت فيها  البوست ده  أولا ثم ده ثانيا  .. ياااااه .. ده كان من اكثر من ست سنوات .. ساعات بأحس أنها من قرن .. وساعات بأحس أنها من 3 أيام

ها أحط الكلمات للحظ رنا لأن يسعدنى أن كلمات كده تبقى على مدونتي

لَحظٌ رَنا ... قوسٌ رمى ... سهماً أصاب مهجتي

عين المها ... تسبي النهى ... بسحرها تلك التي

هاجت خيالي ... فظلمت حالي ... أفلَتُّ مِقوَدَ صهوتي

يا من لها ... يكُفُّها ... عن غيِّها و إثارتي

أما عن آه و ليلي و القمر فكلماتها هى

آهٍ لقـلـبـي والقـمـرْ ... إذا دنــا وقــتُ السَّـحَرْ

و الليلُ يلعــبُ بـالجـوى ... لَعِبَ الأناملِ بالـوتــر

فـيُثـير من قلبي الهوى ... و يُزيل من نفسي الفِكَر

و يطيرُ شـوقـي للـذي ... رغمَ الـتـنـائـي ما هجَـر

كم طابَ لي منه الهوى! ... كم لذَّ لي فيه السـهر!

أتـرى يعــودُ لقـاؤُنــا ... حـبـي له حــو القـدر؟

أتــراه لـيلٌ هامــــه ... مـا هــام لـي عـند النـــهَر؟

حـيث الأثـيرُ معــانقٌ ... للنـور فـي حضْــنِ الشـــجر

و بِطـيبِ أنســامِ الصَّبـاحْ ... عبـــقَتْ بأنفـاس الزَّهَر

و مع آه لقلبى و القمر .. عجبا لغزال بصوت المرحوم عمر فتحي بتضعنى تقريبا فى حالة مزاجية مشابهة جدا .. الله يرحمه :)

Candy , Robbie Williams

A few years back and though I liked his voice, I hated his very shocking song videos and so I disliked him. But as the years went by, I now feel sorry for him, He is a great artist, a wonderful voice and A tormented soul. And I learned to listen to his songs not watch them any way :)

now here is one of his latest and a one that I can show without being hesitant ! I loved it all in all :)




and Robbie, I hope you'll find your guiding light to the release the pain in you .

Inside the Actors studio

One new hobby of mine now is to watch videos of a american TV program that I don't know if it's still airing or not ( just hit me this thought that I haven't googled the program ) . The program is called Inside the actors studio and it basically is an interview between the presenter James Lipton and a distinguished actor in front of the members of the Actors Studio program's students in which the actor talks freely about his life and career  and finally answers some questions asked by some of the students .
Personally I like to read bios and to learn from people's experiences and being a fan of cinema too it was normal I think to fall in love with the program . I've watched several episodes of it  on YouTube but one episode made me want to write about my experience with the program. Martin Scorsese , probably because he was the only non-actor in the group of episodes that I've listened to,  and so he came as a complete surprise. a delightful surprise in fact as my favorite director has turned out to be a great great person who amused me through out his episode.

I'm embedding the link of Scorsese's episode here

And then there is the thoughts that had me when I watched each episode of the program , Oh my God , they are in the core the same people like me and you, we are all Human ... America, British,  man, woman , young, old, white, black, or mixed race.....  Angelina Jolie the little rebel rich & famous american girl who thought that she had a miserable life until the moment she met real misery in Vietnam and then turned to be a much much better person, The poor young Italian american Al Pacino who had to leave school because he had to work because he and his mother needed money, and the young american "Jim Cary" who's life collapsed when his father was fired at fifty and they had to move and live in a caravan ! who tried and tried and tried until finally he mad it to Hollywood, and years of training made him one of the world's funniest men. There is Liza Minneli who is sure that her mother didn't commit suicide and Jane Fonda who at last made her father proud of her On a Golden Pond. There is Val Kilmer who is down to earth and also has like ALL the genes from all the continents on earth  !! and Robert Redford who never betrays his image that he reflects on screen , the integrated American guy at his best. There is Betty White who believes that her beloved husband will meet her on the pearly gates of Heaven and Michelle Pfeifer who is actually not very comfortable doing love scenes . All I can say is that it was a good experience to watch some episodes of this program really :).

SARDOU, Michel

The way I see it, he is one of the few exceptional voices out there that got better by bad life habits!  :D :D   Frankly, I never got to understand this, but mostly, it seems to me that a lot of french singers got better voices living a consuming life!! :)  So, for the better part, I, as a fan, got a bonus on the voices I already love to listen to .
Today , I enjoyed Sardou....
