at the beginning of today's lullabies I want to tell you a true story from my immediate surroundings.

A boy fell madly in love with a girl who was admired by other classmates. He gathered all his courage and started courting her. The young lady laughed at him in front of everyone and continued to ignore him. But she was his whole life. He still had her image in his mind and his heart was bursting not only with pain but also with jealousy.
Here it feels like I'm describing Thom's reason for writing the Creep (Radiohead) song...
Well, this story continued...
The boy withdrew and for a few weeks did nothing but stand outside her window in the shade of a huge tree in her garden and watch his goddess whenever she was in her room.
I'm not going to stretch you any further. The girl's father called the police and accused the boy of obscenity. The young man could not bear the huge misunderstanding of his expressions of love and one night hanged himself from that huge tree in her garden exactly so that he was looking into her window at the moment of his death.⚡๐

My opening story is just one of many. Every time I listen to this lullaby, I get a sense of the fatal act that cannot be undone. What I mean by this is that not every time a person accused of voyeurism is directly affected by this deviation. Sometimes human misunderstanding and condemnation results in a deeper chasm in humanity than we would expect.

At the beginning of this special term for the voyeur is a very old legend about Lady Godiva of Coventry, which has several versions. One of them states that her husband, Earl Leofric of Mercia, imposed an oppressive tax on the citizens.
Lady Godiva begged him to end the suffering of the people. But Leofric had a condition - he insisted that Godiva must ride naked - covered only in her long hair - through the city on horseback.
Before beginning this quest to help Coventry, Lady Godiva told everyone to stay indoors and shut their windows to preserve her modesty. She then rode through the streets, her long hair draped so that it covered almost her whole body, allowing only her legs and eyes to remain visible.
The name "Peeping Tom" for a voyeur originates from later versions of this legend, in which a tailor named Thomas watched her ride and was struck blind or killed for it.
Lady Godiva really lived and was married to her husband Leofric in the 11th century. However, the truth of the legend is denied by the fact that, according to historical sources, this noble married couple was known for their charity in favor of the church.
This means that many versions of this legend arose over the next several hundred years as a folkloric tradition associated with the annual fairs in the locality of Coventry.

๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป: "I wanted people listening to his songs to feel the emotions of the peeping Tom. I guess I'm trying to bring a human side to what people consider to be something quite perverse but it's interesting that these days we live in a culture where CCTV is very present. There are cameras everywhere. We're obsessed with each other's lives. There are even shows like Big Brother where we watch other people's lives."

⭐๐ฌ “I then began to ponder the countless ways in which our privacy has been eroded and stolen since the introduction of worldwide CCTV cameras that now employ racist facial recognition technologies; the rise of the internet and the cellphone, which has turned practically every user into a paparazzo and spectators in their own lives, and how we have mostly all offered up personal information to enormous multinationals whose sole intent is to exploit us,”

⭐๐ฌ “We sleepwalk through the city, unaware of the fact that you can be followed from your doorstep to your destination. I thought to myself, ‘If good neighbours of mine can do this, then what else is going on?’ It’s just a microscopic version of what’s happening everywhere.”

Honestly - I stopped accepting this senseless human behavior a long time ago and that's why I live in the mountains, where I have the opportunity to think more about everything that is really important.
And no wonder Brian is increasingly asserting his dislike of cell phones at his concerts for the sake of his mental health, even having to move into the unknown because of snoopers around him.
๐๐๐ก๐๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ฒ - let's try to perceive Brian's insistence with our hearts rather than with our egos. Let's try to imagine that this man is communicating with us through his talent and his work, in which he has put his heart, and therefore he welcomes our feedback, he wants to feel our hearts, our joy, our tears, our understanding.
It's about the energy that you're sending back towards the stage in that moment.
๐๐๐๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ that through the screen of mobile phones, in which we fix our eyes, the pure momentary euphoria that every musician feeds on does not reach him.
๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐๐ง ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ for just a moment the uncomfortable feeling of spending every day in front of cell phones recording your every move and step and then your every gesture and word is posted on the internet, then you are well on your way to respecting Brian's decision.
