Even if useful, useless.

Post by shokin »

Even if many people talk without singing, without playing any instrument,
Music helps us to communicate.

Even if our dream are utopies,
Even if we don't know,
What we believe in,
Music helps us to believe.

Even if many people listen to music in loneliness,
Music helps us to feel together.

Even if many people don't earn much money with music,
All theses people play music passionately.



Even if music helps us to communicate,
Its message is often meaningless.

Even if music helps us to believe,
We still don't know, what we believe in, and
These beliefs will probably never be realised.

Even if music helps us to feel together,
We keep staying alone.

Even if musicians play music passionately,
They suffer and still suffer and forever.



Was I wrong when I said that "Even useless is useful" ?

:lol: :twisted: :lol:

Admiral, sprichst du german ?

"Swiss" is not a language. "Swiss german" is a dialect from "german".

Ich bin jetzt überzeugt, dass viele Leute hier Deutsch sprechen.

Hei ihr Zwei! :mrgreen:

Shokin, tu viens de la Suisse Romande? D'ou viens-tu exactement? :) Ä Bärner, i glaub es jo nid :)

Bist Du Deutscher Admiral? Ja, Schweizerdeutsch ist schon ein Deutsch, aber ziemlich anders halt :mrgreen:

Sorry mods, here comes the translation, if anybody could be interested in our gossip :mrgreen:

We're talking about the Swiss German Dialect and Shokin and I discovered, that we live only about 30 km away. That's it.

Ja, es ist nicht so einfach : in Indien geboren, als ich war adoptiert, habe ich meine Kindheit in Siders (Sierre) gelebt. Dann 2-3 in Sion (Sitten), nachher haben meine Eltern ein Haus in Savièse gekauft. Endlich lebe ich seit drü Jahre in einer WG in Fribourg.

Was für ein Rendez-vous in Bern ? :mrgreen:

Did I miss something here? :mrgreen: I thought you had mentioned to study in Bern? Nope? I know Sierre very well, my grand-parents had a caravan on that camping place outside of the city that got closed some years ago. Nice place to visit :D I love bilingual cities, it's so cool with the different languages. Sometimes people ask how we handle that in everydays life, thereby it's soooo easy :lol:

:lol: Ich lüge nie, Admiral. :lol:

Yes, I did mention my next studies in Bern.

"Rendez-vous" was too strong maybe. But just see each other once, and Bern is near Fribourg, near Bienne.

Ah ! you probably love Fribourg !

Sure yes, that's a nice idea, send me a PM when your studies in Bern begin.
Ah ! you probably love Fribourg !
You bet I would! Hei I'm from Bienne :lol:
