I have very good memories at that time in Cyprus when I just moved in my second house and this song was very popular. Listening the tape in my car, high up of Chrysochou Bay overlooking Latchi, Polis, Argaka until Pomos at midnight with the full moon shining... just stunning.
Amazing in this video the performance of the female drummer Sina, she will be the future star (if not already)...

Welcome to the music section Max & if your choice of music is as good as your photography we may have to raise the bar

I posted already in the past several times videos from music I like, but not in the music section. However, I can't see what my choice of music has to do with my photography.

He was paying you a compliment Max. As English isn't your native language, I appreciate that you won't get some of the subtler aspects of it.
Actually it reminds me of when I used to work for a Dutch bank. My Dutch colleagues spoke excellent "Business" English. But when it came to something more mundane like swearing, they only seemed to know the basic F and C words. Presumably because they weren't taught this in their class. So you would be having an in-depth conversation with them, and then they would swear really crudely. Once I twigged why it was funny, but it was a shock at the start.

Reminds me of my kids - the only Swiss German they speak would leave my parents shocked and speechless... - I most definitely have failed somewhere

Well, my English I learned here in Cyprus from a relationship with a half Cypriot girl. Her father was in the Army here in Cyprus and her mother Cypriot. I know quite a lot of English and Cypriot swear words, (not only the basic F and C words) believe me or not, more than of my native German language. So if I sometimes don't get the real meaning I am ever so sorry....

Max if you understand the F & C words you can count yourself as having a good command of todays English language
Not a great fan of Dire Straits but liked this Tribute

More of a problem is for me that I understand a lot of Cypriot M & P words as well....
