New Waves
Once aboard the ferry bound for Manhattan isle, I lost track of time. Seated inside, I caught my reflection: the girl with pastel-pink-frosted hair and rose-colored glasses.

Two one-way ferry tickets purchased, I waited with other brave souls on the eerily bobbing pier. Only two evenings earlier, a rush-hour ferry that had departed from the Paulus Hook ferry terminal caught fire in the Hudson River. Thankfully, there were no casualties beyond a bicycle, the owner of which was among the evacuated ferry passengers. 🕖🕞🕕🕘🕣🕛🕑🕒🕖🕥🕡 This is a video diary of my after-work o...

I decided on a bench and meditated on the river's breeze. Foolishly I tried to guess how much longer I have to live on earth. I wondered: If somehow I could know the answer, would I regret inquiring? Better yet, would I use the time to live each precious moment to the fullest, or waste time worrying? River waves are magnetic. I stilled my mind 'til I felt peace despite the crowds passing behind...

After gazing back at the eye sculpture ("Cosmic Vision" by Michael Alfano) while pondering the positive not the sinister aspects of telepathy, I felt energized. I also sensed the pull of the river. Hearing dramatic splashing to my right, I rushed to find a wondrous sight: pigeons cooing, gathering, and taking flight from and landing on a round structure near the boardwalk. What a thrill! 🕖🕞🕕🕘🕣🕛...

Thank you so much.😊Wow, two mornings in a row, off to wonderful start☺️❤
Beautiful. I've lost count how many times I've wondered about my own mortality and what awaits in the hereafter, especially at night. I often seem to reflect more when alone in the dark. I think the answer always is to just take each day as it comes and live for today rather than tomorrow. Life moves like a river and we have to go with the flow. Come what may 🩵
Amen.🩵
@@gabrielapaulinho1luv Amen 🙏🏻🩵
A beautiful trip with a beautiful view. And I love this song, sums up my shyness perfectly 😅
Awww, thank you. And I'm pleased that Kajagoogoo's really cool New Wave song struck a chord with you. I love when the frontman sings, " ... move a little closuh."😄
☺️💖
@@gabrielapaulinho1luv You're welcome and yeah, I used to listen to it a lot in my late teens 😁 I've been an 80s fan for a long time 😄💖
@@P.Brocklehurst Verry cool!☺️💖
Manhattan looks peaceful.
From across the Hudson, yes -- but my hometown is noisy. Lots of horns blowing, loud cellphone convos, etc., like in Jersey City and other large urban areas.😅 Thank you for commenting.👍🏼
That way looks deep. Can you tell more about the eye sculpture?
Good day, John.😀 I think it best to provide a link to sculptor Michael Alfano's website. "Cosmic Vision" is one of a group of surreal sculptures installed throughout Downtown Jersey City's waterfront. For more info, please visit: www.michaelalfano.com/sculptures/jersey-city/?id=1301 Thank you for viewing the video and for your interest in sculptor Michael Alfano's artworks.
Fantastic
Thank you kindly.😊
Yum 😊 that looks like a very nice and sweet dessert 💖
Yesss! Grazie. Oops, I just dropped another clue.🤔🤗💖
This is even better. The crowds look like film extras. I even love the dog being walk. It be interesting if you wrote a poem and record your voiceover.
Oooh, verrry interesting thoughts there, John. I want to see if technically I'm able to do a voiceover The poem would be easy. Merci beaucoup!😊
Beautiful and smooth sailing to perfectly compliment a beautiful and smooth song 😊❤
Great video.
So glad you enjoyed it😊👍🏼
Beautiful framing of such a fascinating sculpture. And very fitting choice of music, you've definitely shown great strength picking it 💖
Thank you! And *how* 😉💖
Another great visual poem. I can imagine one of those benches own perspectives tell its poem of the water, wind and the public.
Wonderful observation! That's what I was thinking when I framed that shot.👍🏼🤗
Wonderfully done.
How thoughtful of you, Dave. Thank you.😊
That looks wonderful.
It tasted even better than it looks ... if that's possible. My eyes crossed as I stuttered out a "thank you" to the server.😄 Thank you for commenting.☕️
Cool night shots ❤
Hej.👋🏼 Tak fordi du så med og for din søde kommentar.😀
Absolutely superb. A perfect way to start the day, admiring such a beautiful night 🌃😊
Good afternoon, and thank you so much. Your kind words about my video are getting my morning off to a great start.🌄😊
@@gabrielapaulinho1luv You're welcome and I'm happy to hear that my words got your morning off to a great start. I hope you have a wonderful day 😊❤️✨
@@P.Brocklehurst(Finally on lunchbreak!) You're welcome, and I hope that you have a pleasantly breezy evening.🌬😊❤
@@gabrielapaulinho1luv Awesome. I hope you have a really nice lunch break ☺️ and cheers. It's a very chilled out evening, I definitely need one after cutting the back garden hedge yesterday 😄💖
@@P.Brocklehurst You're one hardworking man. May the cool breezes blow across the Atlantic to England. Ti auguro una bella notte.🌉☺️💖
Absolutely lovely. It's always fascinating how life in the city is a perfect metaphor for time. It's always moving. There's never a moment for it to stop 😊❤
What a wonderful metaphor!😀 I love that, and it's so true. Sometimes city life can be too fast, though. Thank you for your poetic comment.☺️❤
@@gabrielapaulinho1luv 😊💖
Wonderful video. What a grand way to spend an evening, watching the trams go by on a calm street. It's very soothing 😊❤️
Merci. It surely is. My job is quite stressful and unforgiving, so it's such a pleasure to escape to the waterfront to watch trams roll by.🚊😊 Sometimes I like to pretend that when the motorman rings the bell or toots the horn, he's giving me a friendly greeting. Railroad employees know who the railfans are.☺️❤
Wonderfully done 👍👍
Nighttime asmr is invigorating! Thank you for your kind comment.😊
Nicely captured! I love seeing any type of train or street car. 👍😊🇨🇦
Yayyy! Train-lovers unite! I Thanks so much.🤗 I had fun trainspotting, and I'm happy to know you're enjoying this video.🚊😄
Amazing video! It was good watching this.
So nice to know that you liked this light-rail transit video--I hope that you enjoy your day!🚊😀
What a gem of a night in the city and video ☺️❤️🌆
The night surely did shine bright like a 💎, thank you! ☺️🌟❤
Wonderful and vibrant video. It's just what I needed today 😊❤
Oh, yes, how great that this vid served as an elixir for you today! ☺️❤
Awesome video with an awesome song. You've captured its energy perfectly in the camera movements 😉❤
Wow! Very cool, thank you! 😉❤ Look at what getting a simple inoculation can do. A painfully stiff arm didn't stop me fron scarfing down a chicken quesadilla with the most delicious salsa fresca I've had in a good while.😋 That was at City Diner. Afterward, while waiting forever for a bus, I turned around and saw the🌶 beside the Chipotle name, and ... 🤗
@@gabrielapaulinho1luv You're welcome ☺️❤️ And I hope everything is ok and your arm is feeling better. Personally I hate needles 😬 But that's cool that afterwards you treated yourself to a very splendid meal at the City Diner. It sounds absolutely amazing 😋 and it must have been fate for you to see the 🌶️ while waiting for the bus 🚌☺️ I hope you have a wonderful night 🌉☺️❤️
@@P.BrocklehurstAwww, thank you.😊 Flu shots were available early at doc's, so I said "yes, please." She said the pain should wear off within 48 hours of inoculation. Yeah, I hate needles, too -- well, except for crochet and knitting needles, and pine needles.😅 Ohhh yeah, that was a serendipitous moment. I felt sparkly all over.✨️ Merci beaupcoup. I wish you a fantastic night and paintbrush dreams. 🌌☺️❤
Nice train😊
I love trains, trams, gondolas and monorails very much, so I'm glad that you liked this video.🚊😀
Thank you for liking this one, Dave! 🤗
Nicely done.
Nice work.
Thank you! Cheers!😀
Very nice.
Much appreciated😀
Very nicely done.
Thank you very much-- Level 42 is awesome!🤗
Excellent work.
Many thanks, Dave!🤩
Nicely done 👍👍
Awww, thank you, Dave🤩
Great video. As always great bit of poetry without using the words. From the trams. The sounds, The streets. Keeps up the great work.
Wow, John, thank you kindly.😊 I did feel quite a rush while capturing the trams' movements. A rush at rush hour, as it were.😅 The poet in me feels the appreciation in your comment. That gives me a natural high. I will keep at it.🙌🏼
Sick view and just as sick of a song! Keep it up! :)
Oh yeah?😊 Thank you, man! A dear friend turned me onto this album (and others by Red Hot Chili Peppers), and the title track hooked me right away. I've always enjoyed so many genres of music, since childhood. (At some point, zydeco is gonna find its way -- I might have to ask my dad if I could borrow an old washboard from the basement laundry room.🪗🎻) Today everything's digital, but back in the day, when I was age 🤐, my allowance (and, later, my bs job salary) fell far too short of enabling me to purchase tons of CDs. When I'd watch RHCP videos on MTV and whenever they'd perform live on television, Anthony Kiedis' voice and moves would have me mesmerized. The whole band is awesome! Sometimes it takes a diehard fan of an artist to inspire a person to explore that artist's body of work -- be it a singular artist or a band. Again, I so appreciate your commenting on this vid. And thank you immensely, too, for encouraging me to keep on following my gut on these audiovisual pairings. The visual part is still hard ah.😂 Inspiration, though, is truly magical!🧚🏽♀️
Great city footage.
Gracious comment--thank you!😊
Nicely done 👍👍
Thanks, Dave, for your feedback on, and appreciation of, this on-the-fly video.👍🏼 This was my third try. The first time, I got "video-bombed" (?) by two teen-age guys. The second time, a big ol' city bus swung 'round the corner and parked right in front of me.🤣
A beautiful evening lovingly caught on camera 😊❤️
Good evening🌉 I appreciate your kind, expressive comment. 😊❤
@@gabrielapaulinho1luv Good morning 😊❤️ it's always a pleasure to see your expressive videos.
@@P.Brocklehurst Wow, c'est très cool de ta part; merci beaucoup ☺️❤
Magnificent video. You can feel the adoration in the intimate camera movements, heightened by the song 😊❤
Good morning, and thank you 😊❤
@@gabrielapaulinho1luv Good morning to you too, and you're welcome 😊❤️
Very nicely done.
Thanks very much.😊 I wonder if Elizabeth Barrett Browning would've approved of a jazz/club version of her love sonnet and if Edgar Allan Poe would've appreciated the tribute as well.🤔
A wonderful tribute to Poe 😊❤
Thank you so much.☺️❤ As to the song choice, I was on the fence -- not the same fence you're gonna be painting, of course.😉
@@gabrielapaulinho1luv You're welcome ☺️❤️ The song is nice. One to definitely give a listen to is Dream Within a Dream and The Raven by The Alan Parson's Project, they capture the spirit of Poe wonderfully. And of course. I'm hoping tomorrow will be a sunny day for painting 😁
@@P.Brocklehurst Thank you for suggesting Iistens to The Alan Parsons Project's Poe-inspired songs. I searched for them on UA-cam -- wow! They're both gorgeous music productions. I'd been ignorant with regard to The APP due to a disturbing experience when I was in college. A friend of a friend who knew that a certain young man was attending the same college, recommended that we meet each other. I was thinking friendship; I believed that his intentions were beyond that because he repeatedly reached for my hand to examine and caress/rub/"feel up" my fingers! He kept insisting that I was a pianist. All the touching without my permission (inappropriate) was annoying enough, but the irony of what he said and my parents' refusal to buy or rent a piano or arrange piano lessons, was too cruel for me to bear. Anyway, how all of this figures in with TAPP -- before tonight, that is -- is that the young man loved the duo's music. When my father gave me permission to let the young man visit after school one evening, he (the finger fetishist) insisted that we listen to an APP album together. The only song that I was cool with that evening was "Eye in the Sky." Why? The dude's pulling of my digits and tracing the lines on my palms angered me so much that I couldn't focus on the rest of the LP (there were no CDs yet; only vinyl and cassette). After finger dude left, I had to endure odd questions from my father, who'd been helicoptering the whole time (up and down the stairs to where dude and I were, in the basement). Not only odd questions, but my father laughed at me because the whole fingers & palm situation. Needless to say, but I'll say it anyway: I ... was ... mortified! From then on, I associated TAPP with that dude. But life is interesting. Tonight I've learned from you about these outstanding songs -- thank you very much!😊❤ And now I'll gradually (I guess it'll take months) listen to TAPP's full body of music. After listening to TAPP perform "Dream Within a Dream" and "The Raven" -- absolute masterpieces of progressive rock in addition to *true* paeans to Edgar Allan Poe -- I feel like deleting my two videos.😔
@@gabrielapaulinho1luv I'm really sorry to hear you had to endure such an unpleasant experience with that lecherous finger fetishist. It's totally understandable why you'd develop a negative mindset towards the band if a memory like that had to be associated with them. It'll take time, for sure. Step by step, day by day, if you feel ready or comfortable listening to their other work. You've shown great strength already by listening to their two songs from the Tales of Mystery and Imagination album. I can imagine how difficult it must have been. I'm glad you enjoyed the songs, and no, you don't have to delete the two current Poe videos. The songs you chose work perfectly fine with the footage 😊👍🏻
Thanks for what you wrote. My mind literally had blocked out the band (from way back), as if they never existed to me. So I appreciate your recommending those two Poe-related songs, which created a breakthrough! 😁 It's as if Poe cured me through you. I can read & say "The Alan Parsons Project" without shoving my hands behind my back -- geez, what a creep that dude was. (Rant coming) All my younger life, I had bad situations occur when someone thought it a fabulous idea to introduce me to someone without knowing more about him. From a finger fetishist to an eye worshiper to a cannibal-jokester. In literature, these things are not an issue. IRL: 😬😬😬😬😬 The only Alan Parsons Project album that will take time (maybe) for me to listen to is the one with "Eye in the Sky" -- I think that's the title. I don't feel strong enough to Google or Bing it and, God knows, I shan't UA-cam-search it. You rocked the psychology of it, though. Thank you. And, I know, there will not be an invoice. Happy painting! 😊❤
So lovely 😊🌻
Thank you☺️

@@P.BrocklehurstHow kind🌻 I wish you a fantastic weekend.☺️❤ I'm marathon reading this weekend. Bloodshot eyes never felt better.😄
@@gabrielapaulinho1luv Awww, thank you too. It's currently raining at the moment, there go my plans to paint the front garden fence today. Hopefully the weather perks up tomorrow 😄 Have an awesome time marathon reading, I did that a few weeks ago reading through volumes of Fist of the North Star. Getting immersed in a great story is so worth the bloodshot eyes 😁❤️
The weather perking up tomorrow? Surely you jest. You're in England.🤭 Seriously, that sucks -- not that you live in England, but that the present rain is preventing you from giving the front garden fence a fresh coat of paint. I'll have to perform a special sun dance for the gods.🌞 Ah, you were fully engaged in manga that weekend. Je, Réage (Desclos), de Sade et 🤐 ... and yes, bloodshot eyes look terrifyingly attractive. I shall brush my bangs over them Monday.😁 Here's to your fence looking new again.😊❤

My man plays the same scale fast. Not impressed.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to view this short video anyway. I sincerely appreciate your comment.🙂
@@gabrielapaulinho1luv Anytime. I also hate small Cube amps. A nice THR would sound infinitely better.
@@MOAB-UT I'm sorry, sir. I'm not a musician. But I'll go to Google search and i put "THR" because I want to know what it is. Thank you for your comment today.😊
@@gabrielapaulinho1luv No need to be sorry. You have passion and that goes a long way. I would highly recommend you check out Truefire or get some lessons. It will help you to advance to the next level. I used to play like you so I get it. I bet even you get tired of the same old and tired scale runs. Most all songs will sound the same. I had a very limited musical vocabulary once too. Learning simple things like inversions, triads, the CAGED system; how to bounce between the Major and Minor Pentatonic...in the same song, make you sound better and more musical. Tip: E.g., A Major Blues, you start out on the I in A Maj. Penta, but when the song changes to the IV and V chord, you can jump up to the A Major Penta that lives just a few frets up. You go from your pinky finger on A (low E string) to your index finger on A. Simple things like that make a big difference. Also, slow down- let the music breath like a fine wine. Less can be more. Record yourself now and again in a year, after taking lessons. You will thank me! I am not a musician either, but I have been playing a while. I still take lessons. Here is someone I aspire to play like. Hear the difference of someone who has focused on learning. He is not much different than you and me except for his focus- not flashy, but solid. Dig on this. ua-cam.com/video/Hv1aIHwmdYQ/v-deo.htmlsi=r_Q62eRjpfGSA3ev&t=3
Only someone who wishes they could play single scale would say that. Lol😂 or probably never got good at guitar so they let their hate out on people who can actually play. Lol
An another nice upload, awesome sharing. Like 8 , Have a wonderful weekend ♥
Hello there👋🏼 , and thanks loads for your compliment. How cool!😄 Have a fantastic weekend, too!
Tried a re-edit of my Montréal arrival video -- glad you dig it, Dave. This song is a longtime fave of mine.😁
Excellent work.
What a feast, Gabriela! Enjoy the review and your personality is the best 🌻🙂
Thanks a lot, Sally.🌸 That was a spontaneous idea to order sampler-style. But oh, the meals looked too pretty to eat. Then, once I stopped rambling, I thought: "CHARGE!" 🫔🤺 I enjoyed every forkful. The friggin meatballs are off the charts! The cocktail and Coke w/lime were chilled to perfection. Very refreshing! I dislike that I messed up the gastropub's name ... repeatedly. It's Grove Station, not Grove Street Station. I also screwed up the word *vivre* in "joie de." Serves me right for quickly drinking a fuzzy navel -- on a near-empty stomach -- like it was plain orange juice ("veervrruh" 😵💫).😂
Hi, Sally. Please forgive my omission: That was so kind of you to compliment my personality. I've told the other ones not to get jealous. jk😆 Have a wonderful weekend.🫶🏻
