Bressanone


    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 increment " plan, to cull the wolves in the way, so that the original human populations due to excessive hunting and reindeer rapid propagation. Bressanone, the quiet village, the growth of a warm memory place, instantly between park full of sad parting.

  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!!!
  :-)
Matthew

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
