Ein Klassiker, der mich vor längerer Zeit zu einer Geschichte inspiriert hat.

Frank Sinatra – My Way (Live at The Royal Festival Hall, London, 1971.)
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj5wnWpECLs]
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I’ll say it clear,
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain.

I’ve lived a life that’s full.
I’ve traveled each and ev’ry highway;
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I’ve had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried.
I’ve had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say – not in a shy way,
„No, oh no not me,
I did it my way“.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows –
And did it my way!

Songwriters: Carter, Shawn C / Revaud, Francois / Thibaut, Giles / Anka, Paul / Francois, Claude

Einfach genial, oder? Ich liebe dieses Lied.
Und morgen poste ich dann meine Geschichte dazu. 😉

Schönes Wochenende! <3

Karl Wilhelm Otto Lilienthal (* 23. Mai 1848; † 10. August 1896) war ein deutscher Luftfahrtpionier. Nach heutigem Wissen war er der erste Mensch, der erfolgreich und wiederholbar Gleitflüge mit einem Flugzeug/Hängegleiter absolvierte und dem Flugprinzip schwerer als Luft damit zum Durchbruch verhalf. Er wäre heute 166 Jahre alt geworden und Google widmet ihm aus diesem Grund ein Doodle.
