The tall guy in his forties was smoothly driving his 4 wheels on the wet highway, through the seemingly endless curtains formed in both sides of the road by the tall haggard trees of midwinter. Music was coming out loud from the speakers and the singer's voice sounded serene, leading his dreamlike thoughts flying over the snowcovered mountain peaks ahead. Right by him his 7 year old son was trying to sing along. He knew half of the words but it was so beautiful. Nothing could sound better, nothing could give him more joy than listening to this thin, unstable voice taking its first steps into the infinite word of music. The boy smiled at him and said how much he liked the song. The father was very happy to hear that. In a while he slightly turned his head towards the boy and said something without even thinking about it. "Son! Women and Music! I just spoke to you about the two sweetest things in life!!"

Women are not things of course, but we tend to call them like that in moments of tendernes. So nothing macho implied here. Music as well cannot be considered as a thing, literally speaking. But it is not the point of this page of e-NALLAX to define anything, much less music. We just want to bring music to this edition, to enrich this magazine, to enhance its status as a multimedium, and entice those people, who, like us, share the somewhat extreme opinion that music is really among the two sweetest "things" in life!!

"Sto perigiali"
A song about the wrong track we 've taken, in a life full of hopes, fears and passions. A life that is sometimes so easily wiped out or changed, like letters carved on the blond sand of a hidden greek island's beach and blown away by the coolest sea breeze.

Poetry by the greek nobel prize winner Giorgos Seferis.
Performed by Mikis Theodorakis himself.

"Hijo de la Luna"
A song about the legend of the white and greyeyed child of the moon. The child that the moon demanded from a gypsy woman as an exchange for bringing her beloved olive skinned man into her arms. After killing his devoted woman for thinking she betrayed him, the gypsy man took the child to the mountain and left it there for the moon to cradle.
Music and lyrics by the spanish artist Jose Maria Cano
Performed by the spanish rock group Mecano

"Special thanks to my dearest friend mrs. Sylvia Cabrera for the translation of the lyrics and the information about this song".

"Wild is the wind"
One of the most touching love songs ever recorded, owes much to Nina Simone's exceptional performance, with the unique musical fragrance of her voice lingering in the atmosphere, no matter if it is a piano bar, a concert hall or just a red automobile moving on the highway through the seemingly endless curtains formed by the tall haggard trees of midwinter.
Music by Dmitri Tiomkin
Lurics by Ned Washington
Arranged and performed by Nina Simone!!
