Please enjoy!Lyrics:You and I, we are strangers by one chromosomeSlave to the hormone, body and soulIn a struggle to be happy and freeSwimming in a primitive seaYou and I, we must dive below the surfaceA world of red neon and ultramarineShining bridges on the ocean floorReaching to the alien shoreFor you and me, sex is not a competitionFor you and me, sex is not a job descriptionFor you and meWe agreeYou and I, we are pressed into these solitudesColour and culture, language and raceJust variations on a themeIslands in a much larger streamFor you and me, race is not a competitionFor you and me, race is not a definitionFor you and meWe agreeBut that's just us...Reaching for the alien shoreYou and I, we reject these narrow attitudesWe add to each other, like a coral reefBuilding bridges on the ocean floorReaching for the alien shoreFor you and me, race is not a competitionFor you and me, sex is not a definitionFor you and me, we hold these truths to be self-evidentFor you and me, we'd elect each other presidentFor you and meWe might agreeBut that's just us...Reaching for the alien shore

Bruddah Waltah & Island AfternoonPicture montage of fruit vendors from around the world.So help them out by BUYING their FRUIT![Lyrics]Early in the morning she would gather all her island fruits.And pack them as she starts another day.Carefully she makes her way,Beside a mountain stream as she sings an island chant of long ago.Chorus:Sweet, lady of Waiahole. Sitting by the highway.Selling her papaya and her green and ripe bananas.Walking down the damp and rocky road her humble wagon stops.She watch the sun peak through the valley skies.Smiles and wipes the sweat off from her brow and continues on,And starts her journey through the highway rising sun. Chorus:Sweet, lady of Waiahole. Sitting by the highway.Selling her papaya and her green and ripe bananas.Later in the evening she would gather all her island fruits.And pack them as she ends another day. Carefully she makes her way,Beside a mountain stream as she sings an island chant of long ago.Chorus:Sweet, lady of Waiahole. Sitting by the highway.Selling her papaya and her green and ripe bananas.

These are sung in ancient Greek with English subtitles. "The poetry of Sappho...was lyric in the strictest sense: it was composed to be sung to the accompaniment of the lyre."Thus David Campbell opens his fine Loeb Classic Library edition of complete Sappho. Presented in this video clip are three Sappho lyrics, the Lobel and Page (Campbell sensibly maintains the same numbering in his edition) numbers 27, 30 and 1.These lyrics are sung, and in the first two cases, danced, in this video by The New York Greek Drama Company, released 1988. Andrea Goodman as Sappho.....Directed by Peter Steadman, music by Eve Beglarian.The first two songs are for weddings.....C.R. Haines "Sappho: The Poems and Fragments" (1926, page 150) sez:"The writing of these epithalamina, or bridal songs, for friends and clients in Lesbos and elsewhere was an important and probably lucrative part of Sappho's professional work..."...............Sappho's sentences, even when read on a page, have a music in themselves, joining words and sounds paced "like the onflow of a never-resting stream...giving the effect of a singular continuous utterance" (Dionysius of Halicarnassus)a bit of that art can be gleaned even by english-only readers with a transliteration and translation of the opening of the famous "Hymn to Aphrodite"at 4:17 in this clip:Poikilo'thron a`tha'nat Afrodita,pai Di'os, dolo'ploke, li'ssomai' semh me a'saisi mh't oni'aisi da'mna, po'tnia, thumon.Immortal Aphrodite of the broidered throne, daughter of Zeus, weaver of wiles, I pray thee break not my spirit with anguish and distress, O Queen(H.T. Wharton's literal translation)Glittering-throned, undying Aphrodite,Wile-weaving daughter of high Zeus, I pray thee,Tame not my soul with heavy woe, dread mistress, Nay, nor with anguish !(J. Addington Symonds, 1893 translation)some notes:On Sappho's island of Lesbos, there is a 3,000 foot mountain named Olympos, after the famous home of the gods in Thessaly.Sappho called herself Psappho in her native Aiolic Greek.Yes, Demetrius Phalereus (Eloc. 167) claims the epithalamia weren't sung, but his opinion is based on the rather prosaic words these poems contain--not on any musical modes or metrical argument. I rather think works like this, sung for popular audiences, would inevitably contain some elements of a less elevated style.Sappho uses the word 'hetairai' in fragment 160 to describe her female companions--clearly the word does not have the 'courtesan' connotations it gets overlayed with at a later date
