Engineers take on wilting flowers
May 14th, 2010 by pedestrian
Sorry for being so remiss in posts lately … as June 12th approaches, I feel an overwhelming sense of grief and longing … all over again.
For a while I thought that things were back to normal ……… the chaotic normalcy we are used to as Iranians. But with the executions, with the fast approaching anniversary of the election … Now I realize that things aren’t back to normal (whatever that is) … and will never be again. At least for quite some time. The feelings are still so raw and real … as if it was just yesterday I cast that vote into the ballot box.
But that’s another day, and another cup of coffee.
Here’s some good music for the weekend.
If you’re Iranian, you have probably seen this by now:
But here are some university students at University of Tehran’s school of engineering performing the same song:
I previously posted videos of engineering students performing in their dormitories here:
And another one, here.
wonder what’s the function of the woman in the back!!
or that guy standing with the signs in the back?
… I think they were trying to be funny and/or hip, but I fail to see understand the humour.
I love the first one though; I keep listening to it every time I read word execution.
I have no idea of the meaning of the words to this song let alone all the nuances- which is kind of interesting in itself because it sort of frees me up from preconceived ideas of how it should be sung…… but I do love the music and somehow I really like second one….I like those students……I really like them……perhaps they are full of themselves and perhaps if i knew what they were singing about I would completely change my mind and prefer the first, but there’s something about them………
Kate, they’re good kids
. And I agree that the song is beautiful.
