2 Hearts Beat As One: A Song for a Cyprus Solution

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Another worthwhile song

Hello Cyprus Friends,

Thank you for your interest in this thread. Sooner or later I'll add to the other thread that I started, but life is busy right now. I also want to take a moment to thank those who visited my www.cyprussolution.org site and e-mailed their comments.

Regarding this thread, I really liked Insan's and Erolz's choices of "Brothers in Arms" and "Peace Train," respectively. Erolz, when I have some time, I'll take a deeper look at your literary choice, "Wickedness." Also, Ithaka is a poem that I have used in my own life to get me through the tougher moments.

I just heard the following Crosby, Stills, and Nash song on the radio, and the lyrics below made me think about how lovely it would sound at the end of our "soundtrack." Again, reading it aloud gives it more effect. Best, Mills

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Teach Your Children Lyrics

You who are on the road / Must have a code that you can live by / And so become yourself / Because the past is just a good-bye.

Teach your children well, / Their father's hell did slowly go by, / And feed them on your dreams / The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry, / So just look at them and sigh / and know they love you.

And you, of tender years, / Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth, / They seek the truth before they can die.

Teach your parents well, / Their children's hell will slowly go by, / And feed them on your dreams / The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry, / So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
