Yearning fairy

So definitely far far never land. Where children only see, I would have cast her in a fairy tale. The fairy that didnt get the man she wanted. Someone beat her to her love.

She was second choice.

This picture depicts beauty and feminism. Strong  magnetic and totally confident. But what lies behind this picture only the person in the picture would know right. Or even the people she knows.

What it says to me is WOW beautiful independent lady.

Definitely a movie star.

I found Anna - Missing her by a mere full stop

s581355599_3969.jpg

I found Anna

This is a very happy moment for me, I have been searching for a Swedish friend that I met working in Eilat Isreal. We were separated due to her returning to Sweden, But she stayed in touch with me and one day at work I received a call from my Dad saying that there is a blonde girl with a huge backpack, without shoes sitting in front of our house on the pavement. Now if you know Anna you would know that that was exactly Anna. Barefoot always, beautiful, blonde and just always full of fun, happy and content with the basics of life. Living and loving to live. She was stunning and magnetic.

I was ecstatic and couldn’t wait to get home. The drive from JHB to Vereeniging which lasts about 40min was treacherous. I was racing through peak hour traffic like I had an emergency.

She had taken the train from JHB to Vereeniging and found the address that I once scribbled on a piece of paper in Israel. That was the last time I saw Anna from Sweden.

I have been through so much since then and her and I lost contact over the years, sadly, and recently I have been in contact with another special friend from Sweden that I met in Eilat. Klara, whom is dating a South African guy and pregnant with his baby. After looking everywhere for Anna on facebook, my space, Lost Amigos, her old cell phone number, where I received some Swedish babble saying stop sending me message, I found Klara again. And she helped me get in touch with Anna.

I was sending Anna emails left right and center over the years and the emails always came back. After seeing the email from her in my gmail account, through teary eyes I realised that I had the correct email adress I was just missing a full stop between her first and last name.

Is that not unbelievably frustrating and unthinkable - that you can miss out on years of a very good friends life by a mere full stop. I am elated this morning to have made contact with her, even if only with a mail. I saw her photo and started crying, I am just so very happy to have found her.

And so very sad that I have been missing out on so much of her life by a mere full stop.

Oh Anna, I found Anna

Ek dink

Ek Dink

Ek dink as ek kan songs begin skryf,

Vir Chris Chameleon en sy tunes

Hy sing wat ek dink en ek skryf wat ek hoor

in my gedagtes ja, so effe deurmekaar

Dis n dag vir rus hier in SA

Dis n dag vir reis, vir die paashaas om sy spore weer te kom wys

Ek luister na sy songs, ek blog van sy woorde

Eintlik selfsugtig om traffic te kry

Maar dis n lekker dag buite en son is in sy helderskyn

Praat ek nonsens of praat ek van lekker kry

Skryf vir n ster, miskien eendag word ek n ster

Miskien eendag kan ek ook lewe soos n ster

Ek dink as ek kan songs begin skryf

Vir Chris Chameleon en die skud van sy lyf

Hy sing wat ek dink

wat as hy kan sing wat ek skryf

Hier sit ek vandag en rus in SA

Karen Zoid - Post Modern World 2007

Post Modern World 2007
Hey everybuh-dy…
Welcome to my brand new site! Me and the guys love the new look and feel that Warp Development have created. Shot Andre en Adrien! We’ll be updating it constantly throughout the year with gig info, new pics and blogs so that I can keep you all updated about what’s happening. So, that being said, here’s the first installment of what’s going in our lives…

It’s been a long time coming and we are very happy to announce to you all that our new album is in the can (collective sigh of relief). We will welcome the music industry and media into our Postmodern World at our launch party (this Thursday!!) on the 2nd of August. Once the pre-launch nerves have been swallowed down with our first glass of champagne, everything is “all systems go” for touring the new cd.

The excitement kicks off at the Wildcoast Sun for another Old Mutual Encounters show on August 10th where we will be celebrating my 29th birthday by jamming with jazz legend, Paul Hamner and producer and Afri-Jazz extraordinaire, Selaelo Selota.

From there we make our annual pilgrimage to Northam for Oppikoppi 13 – The way of the Dassie. For those of you who are making your first Oppikoppi pilgrimage: Don’t forget to pitch your tent when you arrive in a North/South direction or you’ll have that sneaky bushveld sun glaring straight into your tent at dawn. All veteran Koppi poppies and pappies will also agree that it is best to get the tent thing out of the way before you partake in too much merriment and festivities!!

We will also be performing in Jozi, Centurion, Ipitori, Worcester and Cape Town in August. Check the gig guide out for all the details!

As September rolls around we start shooting our live DVD. If you’d like to be part of the audience on the 6th and 7th of September please contact Warren at Just Music at  karenzoid at justmusic.co.za to request purchase of tickets.

Postmodern World really is a completely new experience for us all, it’s our first completely English album and we really hope you like it! The first single, Aeroplane Jane, goes to radio this week and the video – which we had an absolute blast shooting at Lanseria with Ivyann Moreirra– will be on YouTube in no time so keep an eye out for it!

We have (finally) launched our official myspace page. Have a squizz at www.myspace.com We wanna make friends!

7de Hemel - Sterredank

hemel200.jpg

2. Sterredank

as dit lyk soos dit vandag hier lyk
en my duister uitkyk nie wil wyk nie
is al wat ek sien swart of is dit dalk net
dat ek die swart in alles sien

is dit nie dan, juis dan dat
ek my sterre dank dat
ek jou het nie?

om n juk te wees, aanstotend steen
is regtig nie iets wat ek graag wil wees nie
maar jy hou vol dat ek welkom is
in jou smaak val en boonop aardig is

ja die donker is n duister ding
waarin n mens nog hond nog haar af maak
maar dis die geringe flikkeringk
wat wanneer kriekies sing
weer sigbaar raak

en as ek opkyk en my sterre tel
dan sien ek daarin hoe hul my toekoms voorspel
en wat ek in hul vorm en ligging lees
is dat die pad vorentoe voorspoedig gaan wees!

Fantastiese liedjie met amazing beat en woorde, Ek was mal oor die liedjie toe ek dit op 7de Laan gehoor het.

7de Hemel is verseker n CD wat ek will add by my excuse vir n CD collection.

My Pop Val Stukkend - Chris Chameleon

herhaal2002.jpgHERHAAL 2000

13. My Pop Val Stukkend

die skaduwee waarske die straat
geslinger uit ‘n hoë balkon
deur die skaars waarsku die son
deur die lied van die penniefluitjies
geval op die dreunende straat
my pop met ‘n naam soos ‘n liggaam
wat net soos ‘n mens kon praat
my pop soos ‘n mossie geskiet
korrel-kaal van die vensterbank
of was dit die wind uit die verte
of was dit my eie hand
my pop het geval toe die son
sy brons klok lui uit die lug
toe die wolke die mure wit kalk
val die skaduwee daarin terug
die skaduwee waarsku die son
porselein met die ver lug bo-
as ek sou val uit ‘n hoë balkon
as ek sou breek lyk ek ook só?

As Jij Slaap - Chris Chameleon

herhaal2001.jpgHerhaal 2000

12. As Jij Slaap

as jy slaap en die verdriete
en selfs ons bitter liefde agterlaat,
is jy maar weer ‘n argelose kind
met drome wind‘rig oor jou mooi gelaat
ag, as die teer nag is jou arms lê,
en sterlig oor jou bors en hare skyn
is jy maar weer ‘n seuntjie weggedwaal
van huis en ouers en hul soete samesyn
ag, in jou slaap wil ik jou eem
en aan my bors hou tot die môre myd
oor al die heuwels breek - wil ek jou neem
en terugbring van jou eensaamheid.

moenie slaap nie
moenie slaap nie, kyk!
agter die gordyne begin die dag dans
met ‘n pouveer in sy hoed.

Op die voetpad - Chris Chameleon

herhaal200.jpg Herhaal 2000

10. Op Die Voetpad

op die voetpad o bokkie.

jou hand die myne.

en ons huisie staan klaar.

in my hart se lyne.

deur die dag van die bij.

tot dit rooikrans o bokkie.

vannag sluit hom toe.

in ons pondokkie.

klimaat van jou lyf.

o meidjie dousag.

maar jou oë vlieg wys.

oor die nimmermeerdag.

en die aand skilfer reeds.

sy bont kleure af.

waar die voetpad alleen.

oor die blou bulte draf.

Hearts all over the World

Hearts all over the World. 

As I read more about these little children in need.

As I watch more of these documentaries on their lives.Their suffering and their hope .

I feel so awed, So awed at these little children and their courage.

Their will to carry on. 

The pain and the suffering and still they smile.

The destruction and famine and still they live.

The lost cause and its message billowing from empty hollows.

And still they hope. T

The heartless adoption of a world and its attitude.

The emotionless review of the writers, the public and their mindset. 

If we all could give a dollar a day,

A rand a week,

A pound a second.

An Euro an hour,  

Could we not make a difference,  

Or is there to much suffering to choose from .

Too much global warming to think of.

Too much famine to keep an eye on.

Is there just to much heart sore for us to fathom ? 

Why are our eyes so blind.

our ears so deaf.

our minds so ignorant.

our hearts so spent. 

What has happened to us world,

What has happened to courage.

What has happened to help. 

I am part of this what has,

Part of this blind eye.

This deaf ear.

Ignorant mind. 

But I am willing to change.

And this is my cry,

for at least someone to change with me. 

Beyond our borders,
