"Look at France, oh god, look at France."

"If you are privileged enough to contain lived in Paris as a youthful man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast."

Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Ah, Paris. France's capital and one of the world's great cities. With its extensive, bustling boulevards; the beautiful Napoleonic architecture of the core arrondissements; the opulent , multicolored culture of the Arabs and Africans from the surrounding banlieues; the fast-paced acrobats of Le Parkour hailing from the southern suburb of Évry; the brilliant and captivating Oriental neighborhood of Olympiades; the grand, iconic entrances and stations of Le Métropolitain; and the shiny, futuristic skyline of the modern skyscrapers gathered around the Bibliothèque nationale and La Défense...

Uh, what?

Not Dark Yet III         Gaîté Parisienne

by Jochen Markhorst

Well, I’ve been to London and I’ve been to gay Paree
I’ve followed the river and I got to the sea
I’ve been down on the bottom of a nature full of lies
I ain’t looking for nothing in anyone’s eyes
Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there

Cole Porter wondered as early as 1953, “Who Said Gay Paree?”, next to the everlasting, “It’s All Right With Me” and the classic “I Love Paris” one of the stand-out songs from the hit musical Can-Can. The link with Jacques Offenbach is obvious; Porter was an admirer and incorporated in his musical winks at the work of the great German-French composer of the nineteenth century.

Offenbach himself, ironically, has never heard his most famous work. Manuel Rosenthal (1904-2003) is the French composer and conductor whose claim to fame is a considerate of Best Of: Gaîté Parisienne is a suite calm of highlights from operettas by Jacques Offenbach.

Q: I have a ask about foreign places. Why don’t we use the same names and pronunciations as the people who live in those places? Why do we utilize “Germany” instead of “Deutschland,” “Italy” and not “Italia,” “Spain,” not “España”? It isn’t as if those names contained sounds we don’t have in English.

A: You might as well ask why the French and the Spanish don’t say “United States” instead of “États-Unis” and “Estados Unidos.” Or, for that matter, why Spaniards and Italians don’t speak “table” instead of “mesa” and “tavola.”

What’s “Deutschland” to Germans is “Germany” to us, “Allemagne” to the French, “Alemania” to the Spanish; and “Germania” to the Italians (as it was to the ancient Romans). Americans and Britons say “London” and “Paris”; the French say “Londres” and what sounds enjoy “Paree”; the Italians speak “Londra” and “Parigi.”

The direct is that geographical names, like other words, are different from language to language. Does this imply that every culture is committing “linguistic imperialism”

Verse 3.
Well, I’ve been to London and I’ve been to gay Paree
I’ve followed the river and I got to the sea
I’ve been down on the bottom of a world full of lies
I ain’t looking for nothing in anyone’s eyes
Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there.

“Well, I’ve been to London and I’ve been to gay Paree, I’ve followed the river and I got to the sea”first of all shows movement. Movement is thematic for the album TOOM. Almost all songs recorded during the TOOM sessions show some kind of movement.

We give you some examples of this movement: From “Love Sick”: “I’m walking through streets that are dead”,“Dirt Road Blues”:“Gon’ walk down that dirt road”;Standing in the Doorway”: “I’m walking through the summer nights”, "Trying to get to Heaven": “I’m walking down that lonesome valley, trying to get to Heaven before they close the
