* A man, the Rain, and a Couple of Days *

It’s Raining again,
Reeling my mind,
To those couple of days.
The man and the rain;
Pouring on my windowpane.
That bus and the station…
Still so close,
Again we can be within reach.
These waters hold, in my heart,
Fading memories of our time apart.
The story I relate
With sincere glad adulate.
Of a man, the rain and a couple of days.

* IN THIS TOGETHER *

Should I've seen this coming?
Should I've known this, shouldn't have let this happen
My mistake alright, stuck again
Doing my thing
Too alike, yet far apart
What felt so good once is breaking me
And tearing us apart again

Don't you see
We're in this together,
You and me
One on one forever

I know it's self-inflicted
We're way to desperate
Way to addicting
But I cant help the way I feel
I know it's time to be strong
Now when all hope is gone
And when what felt so good once is breaking me
And tearing us apart again

AND IN YOUR TROUBLED EYES I CAN SEE
SOMEONE WHO CARRIED ME SOMEHOW
LIKE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
You've been behind me all along
We got it wrong from the start
Now it's you and me let's hit it on

Don't you see it's you and me against the world
'cause we're in this together,
You and me
One on one forever


This song belongs to one of the commercials of my favorite TV series: ER
I have watched ER since I was 11 years old and ever since I have become obsessed with it because although it has been in the air for 15 years (yes, I know, a lot) every season there are new and fresh stories as well as characters and and special guesses. It's been so long since ER is produced that thanks to it George Clooney became one of the most famous personalities of Hollywood.
It is quite difficult to explain what the show is about. On one hand because it has changed through time in every aspect but always with a main theme which is carrying on with life always knowing that you have chosen to live for the others and not for you.
All the characters are doctors whose specialty is the emergency room and each episode there is a new struggle in different situations and patients. And time to time the producers broadcast quite shocking episodes that seems to be so real and they are perfectly well-done that once it has finished you stand in front of the TV thinking about nothing else rather what you have just watched.
Through all the years I have watched the program there have always been some episodes that have shocked me in such intensive way that I would never forget them. For example the ones that were filmed in Africa, exactly in the Republic of the Congo, in which one of the main doctors decides to go there to be part of the Red Cross volunteers. In these episodes many realities are shown as I have never seen them before: the way the doctors have to work, the facilities scarcity, the terrorists attitude towards the volunteers and the native citizens, the government corruption, to name a few. After watching these episodes I started making some research on the topic and I started to develop brand new skills and opinions towards different themes, poverty, discrimination, who I wanna be, etc. Of course what I am telling you happened when I was younger - but what I am telling you carried me to be and to react and to perform as I do.

I am one of those people who think that music and TV have an unique potential that must be exploded but in the right and appropriate way. I have always learned a lot from those lyrics that say a lot about society, politics, history as well as from those series and journalistic programs that teach you about the world encouraging you to be day by day a better and more prepared person.
