Last Saturday I went to "Cuánto Talento" and I met Rey Enigma. He is a famous chess youtuber. He wore his signature costume and kept his voice in-character. He was very nice!

I told him about our "Taller de Ajedrez". He thought it was great! I didn't play with him. I would have lost!

Sabrina Vega was also there. She talked to Rey Enigma about chess in IES Lomo de la Herradura. I felt really proud!

Some of the lyrics are based on a poem by Hugh Mearns called The Psychoed:

As I was going up the stair
I met a man who was not there
He wasn't there again today
I wish that man would go away

David Bowie - The Man Who Sold the World

(4 min 35 sec)

We passed upon the stair

We spoke of was and when

Although I wasn't there

He said I was his friend

Which came as some surprise

I spoke into his eyes

"I thought you died alone

A long long time ago."

"Oh no, not me

I never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world."

I laughed and shook his hand

And made my way back home

I searched for form and land

For years and years I roamed

I gazed a ~~gazeless~~/gazely stare

At all the millions here

We must have died alone

A long long time ago

Who knows? Not me

We never lost control

You're face to face

With the man who sold the world (x2)

Bryan Adams - Summer of '69

I got my first real six-string (=guitar)
(I) Bought it at the five and dime
(I) Played it 'til my fingers bled
(It) Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I should've known we'd never get far

Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
I spent my evenings down at the drive-in (cinema)
And that's when I met you, yeah

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69, oh

Man, we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever
Forever, no
Yeah

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh
It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah

Me and my baby in '69, oh, oh
It was the summer, summer, summer of '69
(Yeah)

Summer of '69
