Can you spare three minutes, dear friend?
This might be my shortest post ever. It was not scheduled. I just discovered something
that I wanted to share with you. Released days ago, just in time for Christmas 2018,
a collaboration of German drummer girl Sina and a group of her young, musically
inclined friends from around the world performing a cover of "I Believe in Father
Christmas," originally recorded by English musician Greg Lake of Emerson, Lake
& Palmer and released during the holiday season in 1975, a major hit in the UK.
The song is about disillusionment, loss of childhood innocence, a protest
against the commercialization of Christmas and a lament that mankind
has not yet achieved peace on earth. However, if you watch to the end,
you will find that the song ends on a hopeful note. These talented
young people inspire me and I hope they will inspire you as well.

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish, pain and sadness
Leave your heart and
let your road be clear
