This
resulted in people blame the wolf logic sparked the creation of Matthew Len
" wolf " motivation. Led by the Matthew Len 30 musicians, music and
human records in the field were massacred the wolf story. Take two years, with
the most direct feelings, the most profound appeal, knocking the heart of the
people: the Yukon River Basin, maybe die in humans under the gun of a figure,
their eyes showed no fear, only to reveal a calm, the moon is on the rise
naturally wild, can run in the field, blood is not shed when, staring at the
back, can't lick companion of blood, with his soul to rove all over the world……
In
1992, Canada Yukon local government implemented a program called reindeer

human populations due to excessive hunting and reindeer rapid propagation.
Bressanone, the quiet village, the growth of a warm memory place, instantly

Hello Forrest,
Thank you for your comments. Now make yourself a cup of
hot tea, sit back, and I'll tell you a story about Bressanone...
Several years ago, I fell deeply in love with a young
woman, and also with a part of northern Italy
known as South Tyrol . It borders Austria , just south of the Brenner mountain pass
which separates Italy from Austria .
South Tyrol used to be joined with North Tyrol (now a
part of Austria ) and West
Tyrol (now a part of Switzerland ).
The people of this area speak a dialect of German. But since Tyrol was divided
and South Tyrol became a part of Italy , all the place names are in
both German and Italian.
Anyway... I once worked for Greenpeace many years ago,
where I met a young woman who melted my heart. We met while on a retreat in California 's Yosemite
National Park . After the
retreat, she returned to the Colorado Greenpeace office, and eventually went
back to school in New York
state. I returned to the San Diego Greenpeace Office, and eventually went back
to my home in the Yukon , Canada .
Over the months we stayed in touch. Soon we discovered
that we would both be close again. She was going to study art in Florence , Italy ,
and I was going to live in Munich ,
Germany
performing with a rock band called "Marching Powder"... ahhhh yes,
Marching Powder... but that's another story.
When we were both in Europe, we made arrangements to
meet in a place that was close to being between Florence
and Munich .
This was the South Tyrolian town called "Brixen" in German, or
"Bressanone" in Italian. Bressanone is a beautiful town surrounded by
small villages high in the mountain valleys with churches ringing and sheep in
the meadows, and the awesome peaks of the Dolomite mountains towering beyond.
We spent several days exploring the mountain villages
and each other's hearts. And when the day came for her to return, I took her to
a train station in a nearby village, and we said goodbye. It was very sad to be
going our own ways again. With tears in my eyes, I got on a bus and headed for
the train station in Bressanone. During the short 40-minute bus ride, I fell
asleep. And while I slept, I had a dream in which I could hear this song,
complete with the words and music. When I awoke, I got off the train and went
to the nearest coffee shop to write the words and music on a napkin, so I would
not forget.
It was years later when I finally recorded the song. I
will always have a place in my heart for her... and for that village... and for
this song.
Thank you for listening. Now... off to bed with you!!!
:-)

Lyric:
Matthew Lien - Bressanone
Here I stand in Bressanone
With the stars up in the sky
Are they shinning over the Brenner
And upon the other side
You will be a sweet surrender
I must go the other way
And my train will carry me onward
Though my heart will surely stay
Wo,my heart will surely stay
Now the clouds are flying by me
And the moon is on the rise
I have left the stars behind me
They were diamonds in your skies
You will be a sweet surrender
I must go the other way
And my train will carry me onward
Though my heart would surely stay
Wo,my heart would surely stay
