In celebration of Burns night. The birthday of Scotlands Great Bard Rabbie Burns.

A man's a man for a' that- Burns anthem to humanity and equality.

english translation for those who might find the scots dialect a bit impenetrable.

Is there for honest poverty
That hangs his head, and all that?
The coward slave, we pass him by -
We dare be poor for all that!
For all that, and all that,
Our toils obscure, and all that,
The rank is but the guinea's stamp,
The man's the gold for all that.

What though on homely fare we dine,
Wear course grey woolen, and all that?
Give fools their silks, and knaves their wine -
A man is a man for all that.
For all that, and all that,
Their tinsel show, and all that,
The honest man, though ever so poor,
Is king of men for all that.

You see yonder fellow called 'a lord,'
Who struts, and stares, and all that?
Though hundreds worship at his word,
He is but a dolt for all that.
For all that, and all that,
His ribboned, star, and all that,
The man of independent mind,
He looks and laughs at all that.

A prince can make a belted knight,
A marquis, duke, and all that!
But an honest man is above his might -
Good faith, he must not fault that
For all that, and all that,
Their dignities, and all that,
The pith of sense and pride of worth
Are higher rank than all that.

Then let us pray that come it may
(As come it will for a' that)
That Sense and Worth over all the earth
Shall have the first place and all that!
For all that, and all that,
It is coming yet for all that,
That man to man the world over
Shall brothers be for all that.

Carl Sagan - 'A Glorious Dawn' ft Stephen Hawking (Symphony of Science)

"A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way"

With the risk of bringing up the plain and simple 'debate' ( Wink

): I can't seem to get this song out of my head. Though not overly complicated, I find it beautiful, honest, hopeful and full of self-insight* rather than her usual sadness, anger and self-pity.

*which is a word I might have made up right now.

These guys too are a current favorite I re-discovered after I had forgotten them for some time. Soothing music and lyrics worth listening to.

And this one makes me smile:
->Kings of convenience - I'd rather dance (than talk with you)
