The original title came with a pun as in French, ben also means “well”. A terrible pun I know, still better than “hunk” which sounded a bit too clichéd and somewhat redundant. Anyway, words are useless where a picture speaks for itself. So I won't expand on the topic and let you enjoy the view. No wonder all of a sudden the heat went up — no surprise though, it's summertime after all!
Is our secret safe tonight? And are we out of sight? Or will our world come tumbling down? Will they find our hiding place? Is this our last embrace? Or will the walls start caving in
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) But it should've been right (It could be wrong, could be wrong) Let our hearts ignite (It could be wrong, could be wrong) Are we digging a hole? (It could be wrong, could be wrong) This is out of control
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) It could never last (It could be wrong, could be wrong) Must erase it fast (It could be wrong, could be wrong) But it could've been right (It could be wrong, could be)
Love is our resistance They keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down And hold me, our lips must always be sealed
If we live our life in fear I'll wait a thousand years Just to see you smile again Quell your prayers for love and peace You'll wake the thought police We can hide the truth inside
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) But it should've been right (It could be wrong, could be wrong) Let our hearts ignite (It could be wrong, could be wrong) Are we digging a hole? (It could be wrong, could be wrong) This is out of control
(It could be wrong, could be wrong) It could never last (It could be wrong, could be wrong) Must erase it fast (It could be wrong, could be wrong) But it could've been right (It could be wrong, could be)
Love is our resistance! They keep us apart and won't stop breaking us down And hold me, our lips must always be sealed
The night has reached its end We can't pretend We must run We must run It's time to run
Take us away from here Protect us from further harm Resistance!
You say you want a revolution Well, you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it's evolution Well, you know We all want to change the world

^ That's how barn owls are called sometimes. In French “chouette effraie” means “scary owl”.
Another digital scrap page using a cut-out picture I took of Miss Kimi on a lawn chair (I happen to “catsit” her when her owners are away on vacation). A charming acrobat who literally drives all the tomcats in the neighbourhood crazy!
When Indochine decided to experiment with classical music, they came up with this sweet, delicate, and delightful instrumental piece which may come as a surprise to many — at least to those who didn't know the original band (of which singer Nicola Sirkis is the only founding member left) or only through mainstream media coverage. "La Bûddha Affaire" is the splendid opening track of what was and will always be to me their best album — that is the strongly deplored 7000 Danses released in 1987; many were displeased with it because of its richest arrangements, its rockier accents using proper drums instead of machines, and its smarter lyrics. In one word: it didn't sound commercial enough to the uneducated ears of the time.
