So as of lately I have really been starting to get into the French culture. It is really beautiful, and I love the language. I found this song the other day and absolutely fell in love with it, and the music video! Its really quite enchanting. ^^ I hope you enjoy it.

L'autre Bout Du Monde

The other side of the world (translation of L'autre Bout Du Monde by Emily Loizeau)

It's said that the weather's always good

It's where the birds migrate to

They say that

About the other side of the world

I walk alone in the fog

It's decided, that's it, I leave

I'm off

To the other side of the world

The other side of the world (x2)

I arrive on the banks of a river

A voice calls me then is lost

It's your voice

On the other side of the world

Your voice, which tells me my precious

All this time, I was not dead

I lived

On the other side of the world

On the other side of the world (x2)

On the river it rains gold

In my arms I hold your body

You are there

On the other side of the world

I rejoin you when I fall asleep

But I want to see you again

Where is it

The other side of the world?

The other side of the world (x3)

I really found this music video enlightening. Its was strange for me to think about women from all over the world, that they might be dreaming about the other side of the world. I often dream about that too. Or in fact a new world. lol! but its still interesting to think about. Like what life is like for other women in differen't countries. I want to learn more about other cultures. I think for the longest time, I was limiting myself, only to Japanese, because that was the first culture I became interested in because of my introduction to anime, which originated in Japan. But as of lately, I have also been learning more about the Chiniese culture which is really intersting too, and now I am finding myself really interested in the French culture as well. I can't wait to see what new things I will discover and learn about as I reach to the outer sides of the world.

   "Run faster! Don't look back. If you turn around now, you will be lost forever! You wont make it!"

    "But I have to go back. I have to fix the past!"

    "You can't change what has already taken place. Keep your eyes set on that goal, set on that dream, the one you had when you were little, where you can fly. And when you get to that gorge in your life, you will have built up enough speed and courage to spread your wings wide, and soar across to that other ledge."

I want to fall into an endless field of golden wheat, while the wind and a warm breeze is blowing through the ferns, and I stare at a vibrant blue sky with puffy white clouds all day long.  I want to gaze in wonder till the sun fades away behind the profile of the hills.  Till lazy shadows fall at my sides, closing my eyes, and my arms outstretched reaching for the last remenents of warmth and light, and embracing the dream day in those endless golden feilds.
