11/02/2004: "mensch"

Herbert Groenemeyer is, from my understanding, the Phil Collins of Germany. (Don't hold it against him). Of the few songs I've heard from him though, he's a pretty pleasant listen. "mensch" is a pretty good track, and I think the lyric

Und weil er lacht,
weil er lebt,
du fehlst.

which means (according to my rusty German)...

And because he laughs,
because he lives,
you feel.

I think its a really neat thought that the lives of two people can be that intertwined, and I think its summed up in a poem I was recently introduced to, "love sonnet xvii" by Pablo Neruda. Now get out there and vote (cause I'm famous and I told you to).

You're the first person I know who knows who Pablo Neruda is. Very cool.
