A breeze of Barcelona

Yesterday, on my way to the university, and just before the match between Iran & Meczico, I was passing by the Barca stadium.

Rushing to my office, I was stopped by a known voice and couldn´t continue my way for a while. Yes, "The final coundown" was on air from the stadium.

To tell the truth, among those songs performed for the wordcup, this one is my favorite because of both rythm and lyrics. So I stopped and enjoyed the time, revitilizing some memories in Barcelona breeze; years and years ago.

Once I heared that it was dedicated to the victims of Challenger (the space shuttle, crashed in 1986) but later I found the music among those prepared for the worldcup. Still doubt about the occasion, but the song (performed by Europe in 1986) itself, is something you never forget.

We're leaving together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again
It's the final countdown...
The final countdown
Ooh oh

We're heading for Venus (Venus)
And still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us all (yeah)
With so many light years to go
And things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown...
The final countdown
The final countdown (the final countdown)
Ooh ooh oh

The final countdown
Ooh oh
I'ts the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown (the final countdown)
Ooh
It's the final countdown
We are leaving together
The final countdown
