Like listening to a legendary majestic poem near a campfire...

[Lord Draculea]

Shape of my heart

(only viewable on youtube)

 

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect

 

He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

 

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

 

He may play the Jack of diamonds
He may lay the Queen of spades
He may conceal a King in his hand
While the memory of it fades

 

..............................................................

 

And if I told you that I loved you

You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one

 

For those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost

Ten odd occurrences and a miracle
Brought you here in the house, ten
Ten painters are still amazed
How beautiful you are

 

Ten days pass in absurdity, I don't know
How, I don’t know where, I don’t know
Ten lives to stay with you
Would still be a bit

 

Two stars, parallel,
Stars, knotted tears and
The light from them
For you all

 

Four princes with three castles
Waters, bewitched chains and
The whole sky above them
For you all

 

Ten odd occurrences and a miracle
Brought you here in the house, ten
Ten painters are still amazed
How beautiful you are

 

Ten days pass in absurdity, I don't know
How, I don’t know where, I don’t know
Ten lives to stay with you
Would still be a bit

 

Seven fairies, all good
Glow-worms, hopes in night and
The dwarfs from the story
For you all

 

Nine wise men at sunset
A horseshoe up, away and
The treasures from the soul
For you all

 

Ten odd occurrences and a miracle
Brought you here in the house, ten
Ten painters are still amazed
How beautiful you are

 

Ten days pass in absurdity, I don't know
How, I don’t know where, I don’t know
Ten lives to stay with you...

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture

And save it from the funny tricks of time...

It opens with a (cute) little antique communist song about the year 2000 (a milestone when the promised utopian "bright ideals" were supposed to be fulfilled, including rockets ready to take us to the sky). The children singing it are dressed in the official "pioneer" uniform (with the red tie) and do the "pioneer salute", but secretly they're longing for bananas (a rare commodity in those times), so they search on top of the wardrobe where such stuff was usually hidden by their parents (to last longer). Yeah, they are hungry, but hey, who cares? We got things of great national pride, like our peerless gymnastics champs (in the background)! And a weedy grandpa, wearing a war medal, is accompanying at the piano, surrounded by stray dogs and a bunch of old toys...
Then, when the soloist appears, we're already in the 1990 year, the borders were opened, and everybody is eager to leave the country (to many destinations, like France, Italy, Spain)... A mob of young & angry men are protesting in the background (with red placards) for the reason that we were "born in the wrong place". Meanwhile, some mobster politician running for presidency is asking for our votes, and you can see what happens to his wall of campaign posters...
It ends with the children embarking into the rocket, and a message shortly appearing on one of the mentioned red placards: "See you again in the year 3000!"...

(I'm not sure if any of that makes any sense to anybody, but I'll post it anyway...)
