Michel Montecrossa

‘Talking Christmas Reflections – Über Weihnachtsbesinnung Sprechen’, released by Mira Sound Germany on Audio-CD, DVD and as Download, is Michel Montecrossa’s New-Topical-Song dedicated to compassion and hope. He has written this song as a new type of Christmas song which is not escapist but actively hopeful, compassionately clear-sighted and warm-hearted in its intelligent dealing with reality-world. It was recorded live at the Kulturjurte in Munich on 29th November 2015, a beneficial cultural initiative organized by students for urban communication.

Michel Montecrossa says:
“My New-Topical-Song ‘Talking Christmas Reflections – Über Weihnachtsbesinnung Sprechen’ is dedicated to compassion and hope, the two human qualities where rich and poor, desperation immigrants and wealthy nations as well as politos, bankas and the people can meet. Global poverty, suffering, wars, conflicts and the homeless on the run must not become a normal condition for humanity. The normal condition should rather be unlimited hope and imagination, glory and wonder of intense love, eating together and speaking together, having bold visions and fearlessness cool. Therefore my Christmas Reflections are reflections on the strength of the world.”

TALKING CHRISTMAS REFLECTIONS – ÜBER WEIHNACHTSBESINNUNG SPRECHEN
Christmas Reflections with all my friends – / Christmas Reflections on all the polito worlds. / Christmas Reflections – listen all ye people – / Christmas Reflections on the banka tricks.
Weihnachtsbesinnung mit all meinen Freunden – / Weihnachtsbesinnung auf die Polito Welten. / Weihnachtsbesinnung – hört, ihr Leute – / Weihnachtsbesinnung auf die Banka Tricks.
Christmas Reflections, Christmas Reflections. / Christmas Reflections on humanity’s world. / Weihnachtsbesinnung, Weihnachtsbesinnung. / Weihnachtsbesinnung auf die Menschenwelt.
Desperation immigrants and welcome-culture. / Poverty, suffering, wars and conflict. / The homeless on the run: it’s global and normal. / Only one is the winner, broken-hearted the losers.
Verzweiflungsemigranten und Willkommenskultur. / Not, Elend, Leid, Kriege und Konflikte. / Vertreibung und Flucht: ist global und normal. / Nur einer ist Sieger, geschunden die Verlierer.
Christmas Reflections, Christmas Reflections. / Christmas Reflections on the whole wide world. / Weihnachtsbesinnung, Weihnachtsbesinnung. / Weihnachtsbesinnung auf die ganze Welt.
Apocalyptic changes in world politics. / Economy everywhere is out of balance. / The winner is the one whom nobody expects. / Enduring power and victory-will.
Tektonische Verschiebung in der Weltpolitik. / Ökonomie verliert überall ihr Gleichgewicht. / Gewinner ist der, mit dem niemand rechnet. / Durchhaltevermögen und Siegeswillen.
Christmas Reflections, Christmas Reflections. / Christmas Reflections on you and me. / Weihnachtsbesinnung, Weihnachtsbesinnung. / Weihnachtsbesinnung auf dich und mich.
Unlimited hope and imagination. / Glory and wonder of intense love. / Eating together and speaking together. / Having bold visions and fearlessness cool.
Unbegrenzte Hoffnung und Vorstellungskraft. / Glorie und Wunder der Liebesmacht. / Gemeinsam essen und gemeinsam sprechen. / Kühne Visionen und Furchtlosigkeit cool.
Christmas Reflections, Christmas Reflections. / Christmas Reflections on the strength of the world. / Weihnachtsbesinnung, Weihnachtsbesinnung. / Weihnachtsbesinnung auf die Stärke der Welt.

‘Talking Weapons And Peace’, released by Mira Sound Germany on Audio-CD, DVD and as Download, is Michel Montecrossa’s New-Topical-Song dedicated to the victims of the bloody 2015 ISIS terror in Paris.
‘Talking Weapons And Peace’ is a profound statement of insight into the complex interdependence of weapons and peace in a world of ideologies and intolerance.
Michel Montecrossa in his New-Topical-Song ‘Talking Weapons And Peace’ sees the painful need for armies and weapons as a bitter last minute cure for the illness of deadly fanaticism that is leading to catastrophes like the 2015 ISIS terror in Paris.
But much more than counting on weapons Michel Montecrossa looks beyond the immediate violence and narrow-mindedness of dehumanization to the evolution of strong human unity ethics and true peace diplomacy as the effective long-term answer that can prevent self-radicalization from becoming so obsessive that only war and violence seem to remain as remedy.

Michel Montecrossa says:
“My New-Topical-Song ‘Talking Weapons And Peace’ is triggered by the 2015 ISIS terror in Paris. In the world of today ideologies can’t be killed. They can only be changed for the better by strong human unity ethics and true peace diplomacy convincingly backed by strong armies.”

TALKING WEAPONS AND PEACE
At the time when I wrote this song / the earth was a divided world. / Mankind stood in weapons. / Strong weapons for strong peace. / Good weapons for strong soldiers, they say.
A divided world of a divided mind. / The red line dividing war from peace / is drawn by force of weapons. / Strong weapons for strong peace. / Good weapons for strong soldiers, they say.
Soldiers must be strong with the ethics / of peace through courage and will / to end the war before it begins. / Strong armies for strong peace. / Good armies for strong security, they say.
The honor of armies is to strengthen diplomacy. / The honor of diplomacy is to end insecurity, / to bring peace through conviction. / Strong diplomacy for strong peace. / Good diplomacy for strong security, I say.
At the time when I wrote this song / strong weapons stood against the evil / securing time for peace and union building. / Strong weapons for strong peace. / Good weapons for strong people, they say.
You must be master of your weapon – / the weapon must not master you. / You must prevent the war, not start it. / Stand for the true, the right, the vast / and make the loving peace last, I say.
