Maravillas Modernas: La Electricidad de Nikola Tesla COMPLETO LATINO
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 43:03
- Updated: 04 Sep 2013
Nikola Tesla (en cirílico: Никола Тесла), Smiljan, Imperio austrohúngaro, actual Croacia), 10 de julio de 1856 -- Nueva York, 7 de enero de 1943) fue un inventor, ingeniero mecánico, ingeniero electricista y físico de origen serbio y el promotor más importante del nacimiento de la electricidad comercial. Se le conoce, sobre todo, por sus numerosas y revolucionarias invenciones en el campo del electromagnetismo, desarrolladas a finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX. Las patentes de Tesla y su trabajo teórico formaron las bases de los sistemas modernos de potencia eléctrica por corriente alterna (CA), incluyendo el sistema polifásico de distribución eléctrica y el motor de corriente alterna, que tanto contribuyeron al nacimiento de la Segunda Revolución Industrial.
Tesla era étnicamente serbio y nació en el pueblo de Smiljan (actualmente en Croacia), en el entonces Imperio Austrohúngaro (aunque algunos académicos rumanos afirman que era istrorrumano).
Era ciudadano del Imperio austriaco por nacimiento y más tarde se hizo ciudadano estadounidense. Tras su demostración de la comunicación inalámbrica por medio de ondas de radio en 1894 y después de su victoria en la guerra de las corrientes, fue ampliamente reconocido como uno de los más grandes ingenieros electricistas de los EE. UU. de América. Gran parte de su trabajo inicial fue pionero en la ingeniería eléctrica moderna y muchos de sus descubrimientos fueron de suma importancia. Durante este periodo en los Estados Unidos la fama de Tesla rivalizaba con la de cualquier inventor o científico en la historia o la cultura popular, pero debido a su personalidad excéntrica y a sus afirmaciones aparentemente increíbles y algunas veces casi inverosímiles, acerca del posible desarrollo de innovaciones científicas y tecnológicas, Tesla fue finalmente relegado al ostracismo y considerado un científico loco. Tesla nunca prestó mucha atención a sus finanzas. Se dice que murió empobrecido a la edad de 86 años.
La unidad de medida del campo magnético B del Sistema Internacional de Unidades (también denominado densidad de flujo magnético e inducción magnética), el Tesla, fue llamado así en su honor en la Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures (París, en 1960), como también el efecto Tesla de transmisión inalámbrica de energía a dispositivos electrónicos (que Tesla demostró a pequeña escala con la lámpara incandescente en 1893) el cual pretendía usar para la transmisión intercontinental de energía a escala industrial en su proyecto inconcluso, la Wardenclyffe Tower (Torre de Wardenclyffe).
Aparte de su trabajo en electromagnetismo e ingeniería electromecánica, Tesla contribuyó en diferente medida al desarrollo de la robótica, el control remoto, el radar, las ciencias de la computación, la balística, la física nuclear, y la física teórica. En 1943, la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos lo acreditó como el inventor de la radio. Algunos de sus logros han sido usados, no sin controversia, para justificar varias pseudociencias, teorías sobre OVNIS y sobre anti-gravedad, así como el ocultismo de la Nueva era y teorías sobre la teletransportación.

Durante este periodo en los Estados Unidos la fama de Tesla rivalizaba con la de cualquier inventor o científico en la historia o la cultura popular, pero debido a su personalidad excéntrica y a sus afirmaciones aparentemente increíbles y algunas veces casi inverosímiles, acerca del posible desarrollo de innovaciones científicas y tecnológicas, Tesla fue finalmente relegado al ostracismo y considerado un científico loco. Tesla nunca prestó mucha atención a sus finanzas. Se dice que murió empobrecido a la edad de 86 años.
La unidad de medida del campo magnético B del Sistema Internacional de Unidades (también denominado densidad de flujo magnético e inducción magnética), el Tesla, fue llamado así en su honor en la Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures (París, en 1960), como también el efecto Tesla de transmisión inalámbrica de energía a dispositivos electrónicos (que Tesla demostró a pequeña escala con la lámpara incandescente en 1893) el cual pretendía usar para la transmisión intercontinental de energía a escala industrial en su proyecto inconcluso, la Wardenclyffe Tower (Torre de Wardenclyffe).
Aparte de su trabajo en electromagnetismo e ingeniería electromecánica, Tesla contribuyó en diferente medida al desarrollo de la robótica, el control remoto, el radar, las ciencias de la computación, la balística, la física nuclear, y la física teórica. En 1943, la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos lo acreditó como el inventor de la radio. Algunos de sus logros han sido usados, no sin controversia, para justificar varias pseudociencias, teorías sobre OVNIS y sobre anti-gravedad, así como el ocultismo de la Nueva era y teorías sobre la teletransportación.

==LYRICS==
Yeah my name is Link, man, I'm more well known than Lil Wayne
Oh you thought my name was Zelda? THAT'S A F**KING GIRL'S NAME!
I've saved the world like fifteen times and and saved the princess from demise
And I do it all alone, with no help and no advice
"Hey, Look, Listen" Hey, look, listen, you f**king annoying fairy
I'd rather be forced to listen to constant Katy Perry
I think it's time I got some recognition, don't you think?
Legend of Zelda? SCREW THAT! Legend of LINK.
----------
'Cause he's the L to the I to the N to the K
Wears tights every day, don't give a damn what you say
Got bigger balls than even Evel Knievel
And he ain't gonna stop 'til the world is free of evil
----------
I'll break all your pots and I best not hear your bitchin'
I've got the Triforce of courage, BITCH! So you better listen (that's right)
I'm called bushwhacker and my bank account's maxed out
Got 999 rupees and my leather wallet's packed now
Can't back down, can't slack now, the world needs me to attack now
Yet I'm forced to pay out the ass for these bombs in Castle Town
Just give me some heart containers and let me spit on my ocarina
So I can kick that dumbass Ganon all the way to Argentina
----------
'Cause he's the L to the I to the N to the K
Wears tights every day, don't give a damn what you say
Got bigger balls than even Evel Knievel
And he ain't gonna stop 'til the world is free of evil
----------
Yo, you low-life elf, need a ride up to the North Pole?
Santa's got a thing for elfs and he's getting' his marriage annulled.
You really think saving the princess will convince me you're straight? (Ha-ha!)
The "Uggs and Skirt" fad is so 2008!
Oh snap, it's Ganondorf tryin' to jock on my style
Batman's cape, Lincoln's beard, were you dressed by a child?
You're a ginger with no soul and you look like a f**king troll
Isn't kidnapping helpless girls getting a little bit old?
You think Zelda's stupid enough to get kidnapped so often?
She runs off to my castle, into my room and begs to get locked in.
Yeah, she's sick of your little Deku nuts and your girly fairy face
L-I-N-K? More like L-I-N-Gay.
Man, you should've been aborted, just like the Jersey Shore
It's a damn lie you told about Zelda 'cause she loves my master sword
It's a shame your whole life's been a waste trying to rule Hyrule
'cause today will be the day known as "The day you got schooled"
----------
'Cause he's the L to the I to the N to the K
Wears tights every day, don't give a damn what you say
Got bigger balls than even Evel Knievel
And he ain't gon' stop 'til the world is free of evil

LYRICS
If you ever leave me, baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.
There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor (Ooh)
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
To keep you by my side
To keep you from walkin' out the door.
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain
I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Ooh, if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Sayin' "There goes my little girl
Walkin' with that troublesome guy"
But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Ooh, but little darlin' watch me change their minds
Yeah for you I'll try I'll try I'll try I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make you mine
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain
Oh, don't just say (don't just say) goodbye (goodbye),
Don't just say (don't just say) goodbye (goodbye)
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right
'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

●LYRICS●
How many fools can I kill today?
Too many to count, don't get in my way
I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow
Tomahawk chop is my death blow
Freedom fightin' machine, big-ass hatchet in hand
Why'd you have to kill my bros? I'm-a slash your face, man
I'm a very skilled assassin killin' dudes in ones and twos
Blood flowin' like a river, need a box of tissues
When I'm huntin', I be stuntin', you can never find me
In the bushes, in the hay stacks, in your mother's laundry
Watch me comin', free runnin', up the walls like a boss
What you lookin' at, bitch? Taste my tomahawk chop!
How many fools can I kill today?
Too many to count, don't get in my way
I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow
Tomahawk chop is my death blow
From Boston to NY, always up to no good
Don't know how I can see out this big-ass hood
Walkin' through the crowds touchin' you on the back
Using my hidden blade for a secret attack
Jumpin' off of giant buildings like I was a super man
Use your momma as a meat shield every time that I can
Take a break from the war to hunt for some meat
What? A man's gotta eat...
How many fools can I kill today?
Too many to count, don't get in my way
I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow
Tomahawk chop is my death blow
Up first in the verse feel the clack of wooden teeth
Bread and butter, lift the covers and you'll find the fu**in' heat
Revolution I lead, with the world I got beef
I dig my wigs powdered, wear boxers- I don't wear briefs
You can't step up to me and my gang
Horse and carriage, drive bys, bullet in the chamb'
Ridin' over your clique like the Delaware, son
I'll get my face on that dollar before this sh*t's done
How many fools can I kill today?
Too many to count, don't get in my way
I shoot those mofos in the throat with my bow
Tomahawk chop is my death blow

LYRICS
Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so, sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look ok, I say
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are. Yeah.
Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So, don't even bother asking if you look ok
You know I'll say
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are
The way you are, the way you are
Girl you're amazing, just the way you are
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are. Yeah.

Lyrics:
Closet full of secrets and skeletons awakes but nothing's true
I used to own a castle now it's boxes that I have to move
Right here in the darkness there's nothing left for me to do
It's easier to run away but today
Today we got to
Cast the shadows out from sight
A final stand a shouting cry
All the wrongs now turned to right
So fight the past
Take back the night
And call upon the torch tonight
To bring out all the ghosts to light
Because at last we have to go it's time
To take back the night
Bridges burned and broken on different sides we start anew
Being chased by monsters to face head on or be consumed
Reaching out for something grasping on to nothing to lose
Paybacks left too long unpaid but today
Today we got to
Cast the shadows out from sight
A final stand a shouting cry
All the wrongs now turned to right
So fight the past
Take back the night
And call upon the torch tonight
To bring out all the ghosts to light
Because at last we have to go it's time
To take back the night

I've saved the world like fifteen times and and saved the princess from demise And I do it all alone, with no help and no advice "Hey, Look, Listen" Hey, look, listen, you f**king annoying fairy I'd rather be forced to listen to constant Katy Perry I think it's time I got some recognition, don't you think? Legend of Zelda? SCREW THAT! Legend of LINK. ---------- 'Cause he's the L to the I to the N to the K Wears tights every day, don't give a damn what you say Got bigger balls than even Evel Knievel And he ain't gonna stop 'til the world is free of evil ---------- I'll break all your pots and I best not hear your bitchin' I've got the Triforce of courage, BITCH! So you better listen (that's right) I'm called bushwhacker and my bank account's maxed out Got 999 rupees and my leather wallet's packed now Can't back down, can't slack now, the world needs me to attack now Yet I'm forced to pay out the ass for these bombs in Castle Town Just give me some heart containers and let me spit on my ocarina So I can kick that dumbass Ganon all the way to Argentina ---------- 'Cause he's the L to the I to the N to the K Wears tights every day, don't give a damn what you say Got bigger balls than even Evel Knievel And he ain't gonna stop 'til the world is free of evil ---------- Yo, you low-life elf, need a ride up to the North Pole?

The text used for the narration of “Passing Through” is part of a speech Serbian scientist and inventor
Nicola Tesla delivered in 1893 at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Though today less known than
figures like Edison and Einstein, Tesla was more or less the father of much of our modern technology, since
he among other things developed the foundations of the European electrical system based on alternating
currents and the principles of wireless radio communication.
At the time he was deeply influenced by the Austrian physicist and philosopher Ernst Mach, believing
that the world should be conceived as a whole where everything is interconnected influencing each
other. And that energy is a force that runs through everything be it inorganic matter, organisms or human
consciousness. According to this line of thought every single action has universal consequences, not unlike
what the father of modern chaos theory Edward Lorenz in the 1960’s termed ‘the butterfly effect’.
.
“Passing Through” is made at Kolding School of Design in connection to the Danish iPower-project.

.
Narration text:
"Like a wave in the physical world, in the infinite ocean of the medium which pervades all, so in the world of organisms, in life, an impulse started proceeds onward, at times, may be, with the speed of light, at times, again, so slowly that for ages and ages it seems to stay, passing through processes of a complexity inconceivable to men, but in all its forms, in all its stages, its energy ever and ever integrally present.
A single ray of light from a distant star falling upon the eye of a tyrant in bygone times may have altered the course of his life, may have changed the destiny of nations, may have transformed the surface of the globe, so intricate, so inconceivably complex are the processes in Nature. In no way can we get such an overwhelming idea of the grandeur of Nature than when we consider, that in accordance with the law of the conservation of energy, throughout the Infinite, the forces are in a perfect balance, and hence the energy of a single thought may determine the motion of a universe.”
Nikola Tesla "The Electrical Review, 1893"

Too many to count, don't get in my way I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow Tomahawk chop is my death blow Freedom fightin' machine, big-ass hatchet in hand Why'd you have to kill my bros? I'm-a slash your face, man I'm a very skilled assassin killin' dudes in ones and twos Blood flowin' like a river, need a box of tissues When I'm huntin', I be stuntin', you can never find me In the bushes, in the hay stacks, in your mother's laundry Watch me comin', free runnin', up the walls like a boss What you lookin' at, bitch? Taste my tomahawk chop! How many fools can I kill today? Too many to count, don't get in my way I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow Tomahawk chop is my death blow From Boston to NY, always up to no good Don't know how I can see out this big-ass hood Walkin' through the crowds touchin' you on the back Using my hidden blade for a secret attack Jumpin' off of giant buildings like I was a super man Use your momma as a meat shield every time that I can Take a break from the war to hunt for some meat What? A man's gotta eat... How many fools can I kill today? Too many to count, don't get in my way I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow Tomahawk chop is my death blow Up first in the verse feel the clack of wooden teeth Bread and butter, lift the covers and you'll find the fu**in' heat Revolution I lead, with the world I got beef I dig my wigs powdered, wear boxers- I don't wear briefs You can't step up to me and my gang Horse and carriage, drive bys, bullet in the chamb' Ridin' over your clique like the Delaware, son I'll get my face on that dollar before this sh*t's done How many fools can I kill today? Too many to count, don't get in my way I shoot those mofos in the throat with my bow Tomahawk chop is my death blow ...

The text used for the narration of “Passing Through” is part of a speech Serbian scientist and inventor
Nicola Tesla delivered in 1893 at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Though today less known than
figures like Edison and Einstein, Tesla was more or less the father of much of our modern technology, since
he among other things developed the foundations of the European electrical system based on alternating
currents and the principles of wireless radio communication.
At the time he was deeply influenced by the Austrian physicist and philosopher Ernst Mach, believing
that the world should be conceived as a whole where everything is interconnected influencing each
other. And that energy is a force that runs through everything be it inorganic matter, organisms or human
consciousness. According to this line of thought every single action has universal consequences, not unlike
what the father of modern chaos theory Edward Lorenz in the 1960’s termed ‘the butterfly effect’.

“Passing Through” is made at Kolding School of Design in connection to the Danish iPower-project.

Narration text:
"Like a wave in the physical world, in the infinite ocean of the medium which pervades all, so in the world of organisms, in life, an impulse started proceeds onward, at times, may be, with the speed of light, at times, again, so slowly that for ages and ages it seems to stay, passing through processes of a complexity inconceivable to men, but in all its forms, in all its stages, its energy ever and ever integrally present.
A single ray of light from a distant star falling upon the eye of a tyrant in bygone times may have altered the course of his life, may have changed the destiny of nations, may have transformed the surface of the globe, so intricate, so inconceivably complex are the processes in Nature. In no way can we get such an overwhelming idea of the grandeur of Nature than when we consider, that in accordance with the law of the conservation of energy, throughout the Infinite, the forces are in a perfect balance, and hence the energy of a single thought may determine the motion of a universe.”

He was an important contributor to the use of commercial electricity, and is best known for developing the modern alternating current (AC) electrical supply system. His many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were based on the theories of electromagnetic technology discovered by Michael Faraday. Tesla's patents and theoretical work also formed the basis of wireless communication and the radio.
Born in the village of Smiljan (now part of Gospić, present day Croatia), Tesla was a subject of the Austrian Empire by birth and later became an American citizen.[1] Because of his 1894 demonstration of short range wireless communication through radio[2] and as the eventual victor in the "War of Currents", he was widely respected as one of the greatest electrical engineers who worked in America.[3] He pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries were of groundbreaking importance. In the United States during this time, Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture.[4] Tesla demonstrated wireless energy transfer to power electronic devices in 1891,[5] and aspired to intercontinental wireless transmission of industrial power in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project.
Tesla became reclusive towards the end of his life, living alone in a New York City hotel room and only appearing occasionally to make unusual statements to the press.[6][7] Because of his pronouncements and the nature of his work over the years Tesla gained a reputation in popular culture as the archetypal "mad scientist".[8][9] He died with little money to his name.[10]
Tesla's work fell into relative obscurity after his death but since the 1990s his reputation has experienced a popular culture comeback.[11] In 2005 he was listed amongst the top 100 nominees in the TV show "The Greatest American", an open access popularity poll conducted by AOL and The Discovery Channel.
The SI unit measuring magnetic field B (also referred to as the magnetic flux density and magnetic induction), the tesla, was named in his honor (at the CGPM, Paris, 1960).

Early years[link]
Nikola Tesla was born to Serbian parents in the village of Smiljan, Austrian Empire near the town of Gospić, in the territory of modern-day Croatia. His baptismal certificate reports that he was born on 28 June (N.S. 10 July) 1856 to father Milutin Tesla, a priest in the Serbian Orthodox Church.[12] His mother was Đuka Tesla, née Mandić, whose father was also a Serbian Orthodox priest.[13] She was talented in making home craft tools and memorized many Serbian epic poems, but never learned to read.[14] Tesla's biographer John O'Neill relates that "the Tesla and Mandić families originally came from the western part of Serbia near Montenegro."[15]
Nikola was the fourth of five children, having one older brother (Danilo, who was killed in a horse-riding accident when Nikola was five) and three sisters (Milka, Angelina and Marica).[16] His family moved to Gospić in 1862. Tesla attended school at Higher Real Gymnasium in Karlovac.[17] He finished a four-year term in the span of three years.[18]
Tesla went on to study electrical engineering at the Austrian Polytechnic in Graz (1875). While there, he studied the uses of alternating current. Some sources say he received Baccalaureate degrees from the university at Graz.[19][20][21] However, the university says that he did not receive a degree and did not continue beyond the first semester of his third year, during which he stopped attending lectures.[22][23][24][25] In December 1878, Tesla left Graz and broke all relations with his family. His friends thought that he had drowned in the Mur River. He went to Marburg, (today's Maribor, in Slovenia), where he was first employed as an assistant engineer for a year. He suffered a nervous breakdown during this time. Tesla was later persuaded by his father to attend the Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague, which he attended for the summer term of 1880. Here, he was influenced by Ernst Mach. However, after his father died, he left the university, having completed only one term.[26]

Tesla engaged in reading many works, memorizing complete books, supposedly having a photographic memory.[27] Tesla related in his autobiography that he experienced detailed moments of inspiration. During his early life, Tesla was stricken with illness time and time again. He suffered a peculiar affliction in which blinding flashes of light would appear before his eyes, often accompanied by visions. Much of the time the visions were linked to a word or idea he might have come across, at other times they would provide the solution to a particular problem he had been encountering; just by hearing the name of an item, he would be able to envision it in realistic detail. Modern-day synesthetes report similar symptoms. Tesla would visualize an invention in his mind with extreme precision, including all dimensions, before moving to the construction stage; a technique sometimes known as picture thinking. He typically did not make drawings by hand, instead just conceiving all ideas with his mind. Tesla also often had flashbacks to events that had happened previously in his life; these began during his childhood.[27]
In 1880, he moved to Budapest to work under Tivadar Puskás in a telegraph company,[28] the National Telephone Company. There, he met Nebojša Petrović, a young, Serbian inventor who lived in Austria. Although their encounter was brief, they did work on a project together using twin turbines to create continual power. On the opening of the telephone exchange in Budapest, 1881, Tesla became the chief electrician to the company, and was later engineer for the country's first telephone system. He also developed a device that, according to some, was a telephone repeater or amplifier, but according to others could have been the first loudspeaker.[29]
Working for Edison in France and the U.S[link]
In 1882 he moved to Paris, to work as an engineer for the Continental Edison Company, designing improvements to electric equipment brought overseas from Edison's ideas. According to Tesla's autobiography, in the same year he conceived of his induction motor and began developing various devices that use rotating magnetic fields for which he received patents in 1888. The paternity of the invention remains controversial since a prototype induction motor was demonstrated in Europe in 1885 by Galileo Ferraris.[30][31][32][33] Ferraris published his findings in 1888.
On 6 June 1884, Tesla first arrived in the United States, in New York City[34] with little besides a letter of recommendation from Charles Batchelor, a former employer. In the letter of recommendation to Thomas Edison, it is claimed that Batchelor wrote, 'I know two great men and you are one of them; the other is this young man', but the exact contents of the letter is disputed in McNichol's book. Edison hired Tesla to work for his Edison Machine Works. Tesla's work for Edison began with simple electrical engineering and quickly progressed to solving some of the company's most difficult problems. Tesla was even offered the task of completely redesigning the Edison company's direct current generators.[35]
In 1885 Tesla claimed he could redesign Edison's inefficient motor and generators, making an improvement in both service and economy. According to Tesla, Edison remarked "There's fifty thousand dollars in it for you - if you can do it".[36] This has been noted as an odd statement from an Edison whose company was stingy with pay and did not have that sort of cash on hand.[37] After months of work when Tesla finished the task and inquired about payment Edison claimed he was only joking replying, "Tesla, you don't understand our American humor".[38][39] Edison offered a $10 a week raise over Tesla's US$18 per week salary, but Tesla refused it and immediately resigned.[36]
Tesla, in need of work, eventually found himself digging ditches for a short period of time for the Edison company. He used this time to focus on his AC polyphase system.[40]
Middle years[link]
|
In 1886, Tesla formed his own company, Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing. The initial financial investors disagreed with Tesla on his plan for an alternating current motor and eventually relieved him of his duties at the company. Tesla worked in New York as a laborer from 1886 to 1887 to feed himself and raise capital for his next project. In 1887, he constructed a brushless alternating current induction motor, which he demonstrated to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (now IEEE) in 1888. In the same year, he developed the principles of his Tesla coil, and began working with George Westinghouse at Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company's Pittsburgh labs. Westinghouse listened to his ideas for polyphase systems which would allow transmission of alternating current electricity over long distances.
In April 1887, Tesla began investigating what would later be called X-rays using his own single terminal vacuum tubes (similar to his patent #514,170). This device differed from other early X-ray tubes in that it had no target electrode. The modern term for the phenomenon produced by this device is bremsstrahlung (or braking radiation). It is now known that this device operated by emitting electrons from the single electrode through a combination of field electron emission and thermionic emission. Once liberated, electrons are strongly repelled by the high electric field near the electrode during negative voltage peaks from the oscillating HV output of the Tesla Coil, generating X rays as they collide with the glass envelope. He also used Geissler tubes. By 1892, Tesla became aware of the skin damage that Wilhelm Röntgen later identified as an effect of X rays.
In the early research, Tesla devised several experimental setups to produce X-rays. Tesla held that, with his circuits, the "instrument will [... enable one to] generate Roentgen rays of much greater power than obtainable with ordinary apparatus".[56]
He also commented on the hazards of working with his circuit and single-node X-ray-producing devices. Of his many notes in the early investigation of this phenomenon, he attributed the skin damage to various causes. He believed early on that damage to the skin was not caused by the Roentgen rays, but the ozone generated in contact with the skin, and to a lesser extent, nitrous acid. Tesla incorrectly held that x-rays were longitudinal waves, such as those produced in waves in plasma. There are known examples of this and these plasma waves can occur in the situation of force-free magnetic fields.[57][58] His hypotheses and experiments were confirmed by others.[59]
Tesla continued research in the field. He performed several experiments prior to Roentgen's discovery (including photographing the bones of his hand; later, he sent these images to Roentgen) but did not make his findings widely known; much of his research was lost in the 5th Avenue laboratory fire of March 1895.
Tesla demonstrated wireless energy transmission as early as 1891. The Tesla effect is a term for an application of this type of electrical conduction (that is, the movement of energy through space and matter, not just the production of voltage across a conductor).[50][60]

On 30 July 1891, at the age of 35, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States. Tesla established his South Fifth Avenue laboratory in New York in the same year. Later, Tesla established his Houston Street laboratory in New York at 46 E. Houston Street. He lit electric lamps wirelessly at both of the New York locations, providing evidence for the potential of wireless power transmission.[61]
Soon thereafter, in 1892,[62] Tesla was awakened from a dream in which his mother had died.[63] He returned to Europe for her funeral. After her death, Tesla fell ill. He spent two to three weeks recuperating in Gospić and the village of Tomingaj near Gračac, his mother's birthplace.
Some of Tesla's closest friends were artists. He befriended Century Magazine editor Robert Underwood Johnson, who adapted several Serbian poems of Jovan Jovanović Zmaj (which Tesla translated). Also during this time, Tesla was influenced by the Vedic philosophy (i.e., Hinduism) teachings of the Swami Vivekananda; so much so that, after his exposure to Hindu-Vedic thought, Tesla started using Sanskrit words to name some of his fundamental concepts regarding matter and energy.[64]
When Tesla was 36 years old, the first patents concerning the polyphase power system were granted. He continued research of the system and rotating magnetic field principles. Tesla served, from 1892 to 1894, as the vice president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the forerunner (along with the Institute of Radio Engineers) of the modern-day IEEE. From 1893 to 1895, he investigated high frequency alternating currents. He generated AC of one million volts using a conical Tesla coil and investigated the skin effect in conductors, designed tuned circuits, invented a machine for inducing sleep, invented a cordless gas discharge lamp, and transmitted electromagnetic energy without wires, building the first radio transmitter.[citation needed] In St. Louis, Missouri, Tesla made a demonstration related to radio communication in 1893.[citation needed] Addressing the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the National Electric Light Association, he described and demonstrated in detail its principles. Tesla's demonstrations were written about widely through various media outlets. Tesla also investigated harvesting energy that is present throughout space. He believed that it was merely a question of time when men would succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature, stating: "Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe."[65]
At the 1893 World's Fair, the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, an international exposition was held which, for the first time, devoted a building to electrical exhibits. It was a historic event as Tesla and George Westinghouse introduced visitors to AC power by using it to illuminate the Exposition. On display were fluorescent lamps developed by Westinghouse[66] and single node bulbs. An observer noted:
Within the room was suspended two hard-rubber plates covered with tin foil. These were about fifteen feet apart, and served as terminals of the wires leading from the transformers. When the current was turned on, the lamps or tubes, which had no wires connected to them, but lay on a table between the suspended plates, or which might be held in the hand in almost any part of the room, were made luminous. These were the same experiments and the same apparatus shown by Tesla in London about two years previous, "where they produced so much wonder and astonishment".[67]
Tesla also explained the principles of the rotating magnetic field and induction motor by demonstrating how to make an egg made of copper stand on end in his demonstration of the device he constructed known as the "Egg of Columbus".
The Tesla generator was developed by Tesla in 1895, in conjunction with his developments concerning the liquefaction of air. Tesla knew from Lord Kelvin's discoveries that more heat is absorbed by liquefied air when it is re-gasified and used to drive something than is required by theory; in other words, that the liquefaction process is somewhat anomalous or 'over unity'.[68] Just before Tesla's completion of his work and the filing of a patent application, Tesla's laboratory burned down, destroying all his equipment, models and inventions. Immediately after the fire, Carl von Linde, in Germany, filed a patent application for the same process.[69]
A "world system" for "the transmission of electrical energy without wires" that depends upon the electrical conductivity of the earth was proposed, in which transmission in various natural media with current that passes between the two points are used to power devices. In a practical wireless energy transmission system using this principle, a high-power ultraviolet beam might be used to form a vertical ionized channel in the air directly above the transmitter-receiver stations.[citation needed] The same concept is used in virtual lightning rods and the electrolaser electroshock weapon,[70] and has been proposed for disabling vehicles.
Also in the late 1880s, Tesla and Thomas Edison became adversaries in part because of Edison's promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over the more efficient alternating current advocated by Tesla and Westinghouse. Until the development of the induction motor, AC's advantages for long distance high voltage transmission were counterbalanced by the inability to operate motors on AC.[citation needed] As a result of the "War of Currents", Edison and Westinghouse went nearly bankrupt, so in 1897, Tesla released Westinghouse from contract, providing Westinghouse a break from Tesla's patent royalties. Also in 1897, Tesla researched radiation, which led to setting up the basic formulation of cosmic rays.[71]
In 1897, at age 41, Tesla filed the first radio patent (U.S. Patent 645,576). A year later, he demonstrated a radio-controlled boat to the US military, believing that the military would want things such as radio-controlled torpedoes. Tesla claimed to have developed the "Art of Telautomatics", a form of robotics, as well as the technology of remote control.[72] In 1898, he demonstrated a radio-controlled boat to the public during an electrical exhibition at Madison Square Garden. Tesla called his boat a "teleautomaton".[73] In the same year, Tesla devised an "electric igniter" or spark plug for Internal combustion gasoline engines. He gained U.S. Patent 609,250, "Electrical Igniter for Gas Engines", on this mechanical ignition system. Tesla lived in the former Gerlach Hotel, renamed The Radio Wave building, at 49 W 27th St. (between Broadway and Sixth Avenue), Lower Manhattan, before the end of the century where he conducted the radio wave experiments. A commemorative plaque was placed on the building in 1977 to honor his work. Remote radio control remained a novelty until World War I and afterward, when a number of countries used it in military programs.
Colorado Springs[link]
See also: Magnifying transmitter
In 1899, Tesla decided to move and began research in Colorado Springs, Colorado in a lab located near Foote Ave. and Kiowa St.,[74] where he would have room for his high-voltage, high-frequency experiments. Upon his arrival he told reporters that he was conducting wireless telegraphy experiments transmitting signals from Pikes Peak to Paris. Tesla's diary contains explanations of his experiments concerning the ionosphere and the ground's telluric currents via transverse waves and longitudinal waves.[75] At his lab, Tesla proved that the earth was a conductor, and he produced artificial lightning (with discharges consisting of millions of volts, and up to 135 feet long).[76] Tesla also investigated atmospheric electricity, observing lightning signals via his receivers. Reproductions of Tesla's receivers and coherer circuits show an unpredicted level of complexity (e.g., distributed high-Q helical resonators, radio frequency feedback, crude heterodyne effects, and regeneration techniques).[77] Tesla stated that he observed stationary waves during this time.[78]
Tesla researched ways to transmit power and energy wirelessly over long distances (via transverse waves, to a lesser extent, and, more readily, longitudinal waves). He transmitted extremely low frequencies through the ground as well as between the Earth's surface and the Kennelly–Heaviside layer. He received patents on wireless transceivers that developed standing waves by this method. In his experiments, he made mathematical calculations and computations based on his experiments and discovered that the resonant frequency of the Earth was approximately 8 hertz (Hz). In the 1950s, researchers confirmed that the resonant frequency of the Earth's ionospheric cavity was in this range (later named the Schumann resonance).
In Colorado Springs Tesla carried out various long distance wireless transmission-reception experiments. Tesla effect is the application of a type of electrical conduction (that is, the movement of energy through space and matter; not just the production of voltage across a conductor). Through longitudinal waves,[citation needed] Tesla transferred energy to receiving devices. He sent electrostatic forces through natural media across a conductor situated in the changing magnetic flux and transferred electrical energy to a wireless receiver.
In the Colorado Springs lab, Tesla observed unusual signals that he later thought may have been evidence of extraterrestrial radio wave communications coming from Venus or Mars.[79] He noticed repetitive signals from his receiver which were substantially different from the signals he had noted from storms and earth noise. Specifically, he later recalled that the signals appeared in groups of one, two, three, and four clicks together. Tesla had mentioned that he thought his inventions could be used to talk with other planets. There have even been claims that he invented a "Teslascope" for just such a purpose. It is debatable what type of signals Tesla received or whether he picked up anything at all. Research has suggested that Tesla may have had a misunderstanding of the new technology he was working with,[80] or that the signals Tesla observed may have been non-terrestrial natural radio source such as the Jovian plasma torus signals.[81]
Tesla left Colorado Springs on 7 January 1900. The lab was torn down ca. 1905 and its contents sold to pay debts. The Colorado experiments prepared Tesla for the establishment of the trans-Atlantic wireless telecommunications facility known as Wardenclyffe near Shoreham, Long Island.
Wardenclyffe years[link]
In 1900, with US$150,000 (51% from J. Pierpont Morgan), Tesla began planning the Wardenclyffe Tower facility. In June 1902, Tesla's lab operations were moved to Wardenclyffe from Houston Street. The tower was dismantled for scrap during World War I.[82]
On his 50th birthday in 1906, Tesla demonstrated his 200 hp (150 kW) 16,000 rpm bladeless turbine. During 1910–1911 at the Waterside Power Station in New York, several of his bladeless turbine engines were tested at 100–5000 hp.
Nobel prize and Tesla[link]
Since the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Guglielmo Marconi for radio in 1909, Thomas Edison and Tesla were mentioned in a press dispatch as potential laureates to share the Nobel Prize of 1915, leading to one of several Nobel Prize controversies. Some sources have claimed that because of their animosity toward each other neither was given the award, despite their scientific contributions; that each sought to minimize the other's achievements and right to win the award; that both refused ever to accept the award if the other received it first; and that both rejected any possibility of sharing it.[14][83]
In the years after these rumors, neither Tesla nor Edison won the Prize (although Edison did receive one of 38 possible bids in 1915, and Tesla did receive one bid out of 38 in 1937).[84] Earlier, Tesla alone was rumored to have been nominated for the Nobel Prize of 1912. The rumored nomination was primarily for his experiments with tuned circuits using high-voltage high-frequency resonant transformers.
Later years[link]
In 1915, Tesla filed a lawsuit against Marconi attempting, unsuccessfully, to obtain a court injunction against Marconi's claims. After Wardenclyffe, Tesla built the Telefunken Wireless Station in Sayville, Long Island. Some of what he wanted to achieve at Wardenclyffe was accomplished with the Telefunken Wireless. In 1917, the facility was seized and torn down by the Marines, because it was suspected that it could be used by German spies.
Before World War I (1914-1918), Tesla looked overseas for investors to fund his research. When the war started, Tesla lost the funding he was receiving from his patents in European countries. After the war ended, Tesla made predictions regarding the relevant issues of the post-World War I environment, in a printed article (20 December 1914). Tesla believed that the League of Nations was not a remedy for the times and issues. Tesla started to exhibit pronounced symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder in the years following. He became obsessed with the number three; he often felt compelled to walk around a block three times before entering a building, demanded a stack of three folded cloth napkins beside his plate at every meal, etc. The nature of OCD was little understood at the time and no treatments were available, so his symptoms were considered by some to be evidence of partial insanity, and this undoubtedly hurt what was left of his reputation.
At this time, he was staying at The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, renting in an arrangement for deferred payments. Eventually, the Wardenclyffe deed was turned over to George Boldt, proprietor of the Waldorf-Astoria, to pay a US$20,000 debt. In 1917, around the time that the Wardenclyffe Tower was demolished by Boldt to make the land a more viable real estate asset, Tesla received AIEE's highest honor, the Edison Medal.
Tesla, in August 1917, first established principles regarding frequency and power level for the first primitive radar units.[85]
In 1934, Émile Girardeau, working with the first French radar systems, stated he was building them "according to the principles stated by Tesla". By the 1920s, Tesla was reportedly negotiating with the United Kingdom government about a ray system.[citation needed] Tesla had also stated that efforts had been made to steal the so called "death ray".[citation needed] It is suggested that the removal of the Chamberlain government ended negotiations.[citation needed]
On Tesla's 75th birthday in 1931, Time magazine put him on its cover. The cover caption noted his contribution to electrical power generation. Tesla received his last patent in 1928 for an apparatus for aerial transportation which was the first instance of VTOL aircraft. By the end of 1931, Tesla released "On Future Motive Power" which covered an ocean thermal energy conversion system. In 1934, Tesla wrote to consul Janković of his homeland. The letter contained a message of gratitude to Mihajlo Pupin who had initiated a donation scheme by which American companies could support Tesla. Tesla refused the assistance, choosing instead to live on a modest pension received from Yugoslavia, and to continue his research.

Tesla's famous telegram exchange with Vladko Maček is preserved in the Technical Museum in Zagreb, Croatia
|
||
In 1936, replying to a birthday telegram from Vladko Maček, Tesla said he was "equally proud" of his "Serbian origin and Croatian homeland",[86] a phrase often paraphrased in conciliatory context at modern-day joint Croatian-Serbian Tesla celebrations.[87] In addition, in the same telegram, Tesla wrote "Long live all Yugoslavs."[citation needed] When others tried to co-opt him into ethnic and other conflicts in Yugoslavia, Tesla once replied: "If your hate could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world."[86]
Field theories[link]
When he was 81, Tesla stated he had completed a "dynamic theory of gravity".[88] He stated that it was "worked out in all details" and that he hoped to soon give it to the world.[89] The theory was never published.
The bulk of the theory was developed between 1892 and 1894, during the period that he was conducting experiments with high frequency and high potential electromagnetism and patenting devices for their use. Reminiscent of Mach's principle, Tesla stated in 1925 that:
There is no thing endowed with life—from man, who is enslaving the elements, to the nimblest creature—in all this world that does not sway in its turn. Whenever action is born from force, though it be infinitesimal, the cosmic balance is upset and the universal motion results.
Tesla was critical of Einstein's relativity work, calling it:
...[a] magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king ... its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists ...[90]
Tesla also argued:
I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. It might as well be said that God has properties. He has not, but only attributes and these are of our own making. Of properties we can only speak when dealing with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to subscribe to such a view.[91]
Tesla also believed that much of Albert Einstein's relativity theory had already been proposed by Ruđer Bošković, stating in an unpublished interview:
...the relativity theory, by the way, is much older than its present proponents. It was advanced over 200 years ago by my illustrious countryman Ruđer Bošković, the great philosopher, who, notwithstanding other and multifold obligations, wrote a thousand volumes of excellent literature on a vast variety of subjects. Bošković dealt with relativity, including the so-called time-space continuum ...'.[92]
Directed-energy weapon[link]
Later in life, Tesla made remarkable claims concerning a "teleforce" weapon.[93] The press called it a "peace ray" or death ray.[94][95] In total, the components and methods included:[96][97][dubious – discuss]
- An apparatus for producing manifestations of energy in free air instead of in a high vacuum as in the past. This, according to Tesla in 1934, was accomplished.
- A mechanism for generating tremendous electrical force. This, according to Tesla, was also accomplished.
- A means of intensifying and amplifying the force developed by the second mechanism.
- A new method for producing a tremendous electrical repelling force. This would be the projector, or gun, of the invention.
Tesla worked on plans for a directed-energy weapon from the early 1900s until his death.[dubious – discuss] In 1937, Tesla wrote a treatise entitled "The Art of Projecting Concentrated Non-dispersive Energy through the Natural Media", which concerned charged particle beams.[98][dubious – discuss] Tesla published the document in an attempt to expound on the technical description of a "superweapon that would put an end to all war." This treatise describing the particle beam is currently in the Nikola Tesla Museum archive in Belgrade. It describes an open-ended vacuum tube with a gas jet seal that allows particles to exit, a method of charging particles to millions of volts, and a method of creating and directing nondispersive particle streams (through electrostatic repulsion).[98][dubious – discuss]
His records indicate that the device is based on a narrow stream of atomic clusters of liquid mercury or tungsten accelerated via high voltage (by means akin to his magnifying transformer). Tesla gives the following description concerning the particle gun's operation:
[The nozzle would] send concentrated beams of particles through the free air, of such tremendous energy that they will bring down a fleet of 10,000 enemy airplanes at a distance of 200 miles from a defending nation's border and will cause armies to drop dead in their tracks.[99]
Tesla described the weapon as being able to be used against ground based infantry or for antiaircraft purposes.[100] Tesla tried to interest the US War Department in the device.[101] He also offered this invention to European countries.[102] None of the governments purchased a contract to build the device. He was unable to act on his plans.[103]
Theoretical inventions[link]
Another of Tesla's theorized inventions is commonly referred to as Tesla's Flying Machine, which appears to resemble an ion-propelled aircraft.[104] Tesla claimed that one of his life goals was to create a flying machine that would run without the use of an airplane engine, wings, ailerons, propellers, or an onboard fuel source. Initially, Tesla pondered about the idea of a flying craft that would fly using an electric motor powered by grounded base stations. As time progressed, Tesla suggested that perhaps such an aircraft could be run entirely electro-mechanically. The theorized appearance would typically take the form of a cigar or saucer.[105]
Personal life[link]
Possessing an eidetic memory, Nikola Tesla was a polyglot, and along with his native tongue he also spoke Czech, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, and Latin.[106]
During his second year of study at Graumltz, Tesla developed a passion for (and became very proficient at) billiards, chess and card-playing, sometimes spending more than 48 hours in a stretch at a gaming table.[107][108] Tesla by nature required little sleep, claiming to never sleep more than two hours.[109] On one occasion at his laboratory Tesla worked for a period of 84 hours without sleep or rest.[110]
Tesla may have suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder, and had many unusual quirks and phobias. He did things in threes, and was adamant about staying in a hotel room with a number divisible by three. Tesla was physically revolted by jewelry, notably pearl earrings.[111] He was fastidious about cleanliness and hygiene, and was by all accounts mysophobic.
Tesla was obsessed with pigeons, ordering special seeds for the pigeons he fed in Central Park and even bringing injured ones into his hotel room to nurse them back to health. Tesla was an animal-lover, often reflecting contentedly about a childhood cat, "The Magnificent Mačak." Tesla never married. He was celibate and claimed that his chastity was very helpful to his scientific abilities.[27] Nonetheless there have been numerous accounts of women vying for Tesla's affection, even some madly in love with him. Tesla, though polite, behaved rather ambivalently to these women in the romantic sense.
Tesla was prone to alienating himself and was generally soft-spoken. However, when he did engage in a social life, many people spoke very positively and admiringly of him. Robert Underwood Johnson described him as attaining a "distinguished sweetness, sincerity, modesty, refinement, generosity, and force." His loyal secretary, Dorothy Skerrit, wrote: "his genial smile and nobility of bearing always denoted the gentlemanly characteristics that were so ingrained in his soul." Tesla's friend Hawthorne wrote that "seldom did one meet a scientist or engineer who was also a poet, a philosopher, an appreciator of fine music, a linguist, and a connoisseur of food and drink."
Nevertheless, Tesla could be harsh at times; he openly expressed his disgust for overweight people, once firing a secretary because of her weight.[112] He was quick to criticize others' clothing as well, on several occasions directing a subordinate to go home and change her dress.[27]
Tesla was widely known for his great showmanship, presenting his innovations and demonstrations to the public as an artform, almost like a magician. This seems to conflict with his observed reclusiveness; Tesla was a complicated figure. He refused to hold conventions without his Tesla coil blasting electricity throughout the room, despite the audience often being terrified, though he assured them everything was perfectly safe.
In middle age, Tesla became close friends with Mark Twain. They spent a lot of time together in his lab and elsewhere.
Tesla remained bitter in the aftermath of his dispute with Edison. The day after Edison died the New York Times contained extensive coverage of Edison's life, with the only negative opinion coming from Tesla, who was quoted as saying:
He had no hobby, cared for no sort of amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene ... His method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a little theory and calculation would have saved him 90 percent of the labor. But he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical knowledge, trusting himself entirely to his inventor's instinct and practical American sense.[113]
Shortly before he died, Edison said that his biggest mistake had been in trying to develop direct current, rather than the superior alternating current system that Tesla had put within his grasp.[114]
Tesla was good friends with Robert Underwood Johnson. He had amicable relations with Francis Marion Crawford, Stanford White, Fritz Lowenstein, George Scherff, and Kenneth Swezey. He ripped up a Westinghouse contract that would have made him the world's first billionaire, in part because of the implications it would have on his future vision of free power, and in part because it would run Westinghouse out of business, and Tesla had no desire to deal with the creditors.[citation needed]
Tesla lived the last ten years of his life in a two-room suite on the 33rd floor of the Hotel New Yorker, room 3327. There, near the end of his life, Tesla showed signs of encroaching senility, claiming to be visited by a specific white pigeon daily. Several biographers note that Tesla viewed the death of the pigeon as a "final blow" to himself and his work.
Tesla believed that war could not be avoided until the cause for its recurrence was removed, but was opposed to wars in general. However, Tesla came to find exceptions in which he thought certain situations and wars were justifiable.[115] Tesla sought to reduce distance, such as in communication for better understanding, transportation, and transmission of energy, as a means to ensure friendly international relations.[116]
Tesla was a life-long bachelor. Like many of his era, he became a proponent of an imposed selective breeding version of eugenics. His opinions stemmed from a belief that humans already interfered with the natural "ruthless workings of nature", rather than conceptions of a "master race" or inherent superiority of one person over another. His advocacy of it was however to push it further. In a 1937 interview, he stated:
... man's new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. The only method compatible with our notions of civilization and the race is to prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization and the deliberate guidance of the mating instinct .... The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. A century from now it will no more occur to a normal person to mate with a person eugenically unfit than to marry a habitual criminal.[117]
In 1926, Tesla commented on the ills of the social subservience of women and the struggle of women toward gender equality, indicated that humanity's future would be run by "Queen Bees". He believed that women would become the dominant sex in the future.[118]
In his later years Tesla became a vegetarian. In an article for Century Illustrated Magazine he wrote: "It is certainly preferable to raise vegetables, and I think, therefore, that vegetarianism is a commendable departure from the established barbarous habit." Tesla argued that it is wrong to eat uneconomic meat when large numbers of people are starving; he also believed that plant food was "superior to [meat] in regard to both mechanical and mental performance". He also argued that animal slaughter was "wanton and cruel".[119]
In his final years he suffered from extreme sensitivity to light, sound and other influences.[120]

Tesla died on 7 January 1943 at age 86 from heart thrombus, alone in room 3327 of the New Yorker Hotel.[121] A few days after Tesla's death, the information center of the Yugoslav royal government-in-exile released a statement giving a short review of Tesla's achievements and the schedule for his memorial service and funeral. The speech, written by Louis Adamic, was read in a live broadcast on Radio New York by the mayor of New York City, Fiorello La Guardia, on 10 January 1943. The remains of Nikola Tesla were taken to Campbell cemetery. The protocol anticipated the funeral service would be conducted on 12 January in the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in Manhattan.[122] Bishop William T. Manning delivered the introductory and the last prayer in English. The funeral service was conducted in the name of the Serbian Orthodox Church by priest Dusan Sukletovic, the superior of the Church of St. Sava of the New York parish. The bereaved family members present at the funeral were Sava Kosanovic and Nikola Trbojevic. A state funeral was attended by 2000 people. Tesla's casket was draped with U. S. and Yugoslav flags. The pallbearers were Nobel prize winners. Telegrams of condolence were received from many notables including the First Lady of the United States, Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt and Vice-President Henry A. Wallace. Tesla's body was cremated and his ashes taken to Belgrade, Serbia, then-Yugoslavia in 1957. The urn containing his ashes was placed in the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade. Despite having sold his AC electricity patents, Tesla died with significant debts. Later that year the US Supreme Court upheld Tesla's patent number 645576 in a ruling that served as the basis for patented radio technology in the United States.[123]

Bust of Tesla by Ivan Meštrović, 1952, in Zagreb, Croatia
Soon after his death Tesla's safe was opened by his nephew Sava Kosanović. Shortly thereafter Tesla's papers and other property were impounded by the United States' Alien Property Custodian office in Tesla's compound at the Manhattan Warehouse, even though he was a naturalized citizen.
Dr. John G. Trump was the main government official who went over Tesla's secret papers after his death in 1943. At the time, Trump was a well-known electrical engineer serving as a technical aide to the National Defense Research Committee of the Office of Scientific Research & Development, Technical Aids, Div. 14, NTRC (predecessor agency to the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence). Trump was also a professor at M.I.T., and had his feelings hurt by Tesla's 1938 review and critique of M.I.T.'s huge Van de Graaff generator with its two thirty-foot towers and two 15-foot-diameter (4.6 m) balls, mounted on railroad tracks—which Tesla showed could be out-performed in both voltage and current by one of his tiny coils about two feet tall.[124][dubious – discuss] Trump was asked to participate in the examination of Tesla's papers at the Manhattan Warehouse & Storage Co. Trump reported afterwards that no examination had been made of the vast amount of Tesla's property that had been in the basement of the New Yorker Hotel ten years prior to Tesla's death, or of any of his papers, except those in his immediate possession at the time of his death. Trump concluded in his report that there was nothing that would constitute a hazard in unfriendly hands.
After the FBI was contacted by the War Department, his papers were declared to be top secret. The personal effects were sequestered on the advice of presidential advisers; J. Edgar Hoover declared the case most secret, because of the nature of Tesla's inventions and patents.[125] One document stated that "[he] is reported to have some 80 trunks in different places containing transcripts and plans having to do with his experiments [...]". Altogether, in Tesla's effects, there were the contents of his safe, two truckloads of papers and apparatuses from his hotel, another 75 packing crates and trunks in a storage facility, and another 80 large storage trunks in another storage facility. The Navy and several "federal officials" spent two days microfilming some of the material at the Office of Alien Properties storage facility in 1943, and that was it, until Oct., 1945.[126]
Tesla's family and the Yugoslav embassy struggled with the American authorities to gain these items after his death because of the potential significance of some of his research. Eventually Mr. Kosanović won possession of the materials, which are now housed in the Nikola Tesla Museum.[127]
Literary works[link]
Apart from doing pure work on inventing things, Tesla also wrote a number of books and articles for magazines and journals.[128] Among his books are My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla, The Fantastic Inventions of Nikola Tesla and The Tesla Papers.
A number of Tesla's writings are freely available on the web,[129][130][131] including the article The Problem of Increasing Human Energy which he wrote for The Century Magazine,[132][133] and the article Experiments With Alternate Currents Of High Potential And High Frequency published in his book Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla.[134][135]

Monuments[link]
The Nikola Tesla Memorial Centre located in his birthplace of Smiljan near the town of Gospić in Croatia opened in 2006 features a statue of Tesla designed by sculptor Mile Blažević.[144][145] On 7 July 2006 on the corner of Masarykova and Preradovićeva streets in the Lower Town area in Zagreb the monument to Tesla was unveiled. This monument was designed by Ivan Meštrović in 1952 and was transferred from the Zagreb-based Ruđer Bošković Institute where it had spent previous decades.
A monument to Tesla was established at Niagara Falls, New York. This monument, sculpted by Frano Kršinić and portraying Tesla reading a set of notes, was presented to the United States by Yugoslavia in 1976 and is an identical copy of the monument standing in front of the University of Belgrade Faculty of Electrical Engineering. Another monument to Tesla, featuring him standing on a portion of an alternator, was established at Queen Victoria Park in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. The monument was officially unveiled on 9 July 2006 on the 150th anniversary of Tesla's birth. The monument was sponsored by St. George Serbian Church, Niagara Falls, and designed by Les Drysdale of Hamilton, Ontario. Drysdale's design was the winning design from an international competition.
In 1994, acting on the advice of the President's Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, a formal nomination process was initiated by the Tesla Wardenclyffe Project seeking placement of the Wardenclyffe laboratory-office building and the Tesla tower foundation on both the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places. This would result in the creation of a monument to Tesla out of the Wardenclyffe site itself.[146]
Portrayals in popular culture[link]
Main article: Nikola Tesla in popular culture
Nikola Tesla has appeared in popular culture as a character in books, films, radio, TV, music, live theatre, comics and video games. The lack of recognition received by Tesla during his own lifetime has made him a tragic and inspirational character well suited to dramatic fiction. The impact of the technologies invented by Tesla is a recurring theme in several types of science fiction.

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" (now Edison, New Jersey) by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.[1]
Edison is the fourth most prolific inventor in history, holding 1,093 US patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. He is credited with numerous inventions that contributed to mass communication and, in particular, telecommunications. These included a stock ticker, a mechanical vote recorder, a battery for an electric car, electrical power, recorded music and motion pictures.
His advanced work in these fields was an outgrowth of his early career as a telegraph operator. Edison originated the concept and implementation of electric-power generation and distribution to homes, businesses, and factories – a crucial development in the modern industrialized world. His first power station was on Manhattan Island, New York.

Early life[link]
Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, and grew up in Port Huron, Michigan. He was the seventh and last child of Samuel Ogden Edison, Jr. (1804–96, born in Marshalltown, Nova Scotia, Canada) and Nancy Matthews Elliott (1810–1871, born in Chenango County, New York).[2][citation needed] His father had to escape from Canada because he took part in the unsuccessful Mackenzie Rebellion of 1837.[citation needed] Edison reported being of Dutch ancestry.[3]
In school, the young Edison's mind often wandered, and his teacher, the Reverend Engle, was overheard calling him "addled". This ended Edison's three months of official schooling. Edison recalled later, "My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to live for, someone I must not disappoint." His mother taught him at home.[4] Much of his education came from reading R.G. Parker's School of Natural Philosophy and The Cooper Union.
Edison developed hearing problems at an early age. The cause of his deafness has been attributed to a bout of scarlet fever during childhood and recurring untreated middle-ear infections. Around the middle of his career, Edison attributed the hearing impairment to being struck on the ears by a train conductor when his chemical laboratory in a boxcar caught fire and he was thrown off the train in Smiths Creek, Michigan, along with his apparatus and chemicals. In his later years, he modified the story to say the injury occurred when the conductor, in helping him onto a moving train, lifted him by the ears.[5][6]
Edison's family moved to Port Huron, Michigan after the railroad bypassed Milan in 1854 and business declined;[7] his life there was bittersweet. He sold candy and newspapers on trains running from Port Huron to Detroit, and he sold vegetables to supplement his income. He also studied qualitative analysis, and conducted chemical experiments on the train until an accident prohibited further work of the kind.[8]
He obtained the exclusive right to sell newspapers on the road, and, with the aid of four assistants, he set in type and printed the Grand Trunk Herald, which he sold with his other papers.[8] This began Edison's long streak of entrepreneurial ventures, as he discovered his talents as a businessman. These talents eventually led him to found 14 companies, including General Electric, which is still one of the largest publicly traded companies in the world.[9][10]
Telegrapher[link]
Edison became a telegraph operator after he saved three-year-old Jimmie MacKenzie from being struck by a runaway train. Jimmie's father, station agent J.U. MacKenzie of Mount Clemens, Michigan, was so grateful that he trained Edison as a telegraph operator. Edison's first telegraphy job away from Port Huron was at Stratford Junction, Ontario, on the Grand Trunk Railway.[11]
In 1866, at the age of 19, Edison moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where, as an employee of Western Union, he worked the Associated Press bureau news wire. Edison requested the night shift, which allowed him plenty of time to spend at his two favorite pastimes—reading and experimenting. Eventually, the latter pre-occupation cost him his job. One night in 1867, he was working with a lead–acid battery when he spilled sulfuric acid onto the floor. It ran between the floorboards and onto his boss's desk below. The next morning Edison was fired.[12]
One of his mentors during those early years was a fellow telegrapher and inventor named Franklin Leonard Pope, who allowed the impoverished youth to live and work in the basement of his Elizabeth, New Jersey home. Some of Edison's earliest inventions were related to telegraphy, including a stock ticker. His first patent was for the electric vote recorder, (U.S. Patent 90,646),[13] which was granted on June 1, 1869.[14]
Marriages and children[link]
On December 25, 1871, Edison married 16-year-old Mary Stilwell (1855-1884), whom he had met two months earlier; she was an employee at one of his shops. They had three children:
- Marion Estelle Edison (1873–1965), nicknamed "Dot"[15]
- Thomas Alva Edison, Jr. (1876–1935), nicknamed "Dash"[16]
- William Leslie Edison (1878–1937) Inventor, graduate of the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale, 1900.[17]
Mary Edison died at age 29 on August 9, 1884, of unknown causes: possibly from a brain tumor[18] or a morphine overdose. Doctors frequently prescribed morphine to women in those years to treat a variety of causes, and researchers believe that some of her symptoms sounded as if they were associated with morphine poisoning.[19]
On February 24, 1886, at the age of thirty-nine, Edison married the 20-year-old Mina Miller (1866-1947) in Akron, Ohio.[20] She was the daughter of the inventor Lewis Miller, co-founder of the Chautauqua Institution and a benefactor of Methodist charities. They also had three children together:
- Madeleine Edison (1888–1979), who married John Eyre Sloane.[21][22]
- Charles Edison (1890–1969), who took over the company upon his father's death and who later was elected Governor of New Jersey.[23] He also took charge of his father's experimental laboratories in West Orange.
- Theodore Edison (1898–1992), (MIT Physics 1923), credited with more than 80 patents.
Mina outlived Thomas Edison, dying on August 24, 1947.[24][25]
Beginning his career[link]

Thomas Edison began his career as an inventor in Newark, New Jersey, with the automatic repeater and his other improved telegraphic devices, but the invention that first gained him notice was the phonograph in 1877. This accomplishment was so unexpected by the public at large as to appear almost magical. Edison became known as "The Wizard of Menlo Park," New Jersey.
His first phonograph recorded on tinfoil around a grooved cylinder, but had poor sound quality and the recordings could be played only a few times. In the 1880s, a redesigned model using wax-coated cardboard cylinders was produced by Alexander Graham Bell, Chichester Bell, and Charles Tainter. This was one reason that Thomas Edison continued work on his own "Perfected Phonograph."
Menlo Park (1876–1881)[link]
Edison's major innovation was the first industrial research lab, which was built in Menlo Park, New Jersey. It was built with the funds from the sale of Edison's quadruplex telegraph. After his demonstration of the telegraph, Edison was not sure that his original plan to sell it for $4,000 to $5,000 was right, so he asked Western Union to make a bid. He was surprised to hear them offer $10,000,[citation needed] ($202,000 USD 2010) which he gratefully accepted.
The quadruplex telegraph was Edison's first big financial success, and Menlo Park became the first institution set up with the specific purpose of producing constant technological innovation and improvement. Edison was legally attributed with most of the inventions produced there, though many employees carried out research and development under his direction. His staff was generally told to carry out his directions in conducting research, and he drove them hard to produce results.
William Joseph Hammer, a consulting electrical engineer, began his duties as a laboratory assistant to Edison in December 1879. He assisted in experiments on the telephone, phonograph, electric railway, iron ore separator, electric lighting, and other developing inventions. However, Hammer worked primarily on the incandescent electric lamp and was put in charge of tests and records on that device. In 1880, he was appointed chief engineer of the Edison Lamp Works. In his first year, the plant under General Manager Francis Robbins Upton turned out 50,000 lamps. According to Edison, Hammer was "a pioneer of incandescent electric lighting".
Nearly all of Edison's patents were utility patents, which were protected for a 17-year period and included inventions or processes that are electrical, mechanical, or chemical in nature. About a dozen were design patents, which protect an ornamental design for up to a 14-year period. As in most patents, the inventions he described were improvements over prior art. The phonograph patent, in contrast, was unprecedented as describing the first device to record and reproduce sounds.[26]
Edison did not invent the first electric light bulb, but instead invented the first commercially practical incandescent light.[citation needed] Many earlier inventors had previously devised incandescent lamps, including Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans. Others who developed early and commercially impractical incandescent electric lamps included Humphry Davy, James Bowman Lindsay, Moses G. Farmer,[27] William E. Sawyer, Joseph Swan and Heinrich Göbel. Some of these early bulbs had such flaws as an extremely short life, high expense to produce, and high electric current drawn, making them difficult to apply on a large scale commercially.[28]
In 1878, Edison applied the term filament to the element of glowing wire carrying the current, although the English inventor Joseph Swan had used the term prior to this. Swan developed an incandescent light with a long lasting filament at about the same time as Edison, as Swan's earlier bulbs lacked the high resistance needed to be an effective part of an electrical utility. Edison and his co-workers set about the task of creating longer-lasting bulbs. In Britain, Joseph Swan had been able to obtain a patent on the incandescent lamp; though Edison had already been making successful lamps for some time, his patent application was incompletely prepared and failed.[28]
Unable to raise the required capital in Britain because of this, Edison was forced to enter into a joint venture with Swan (known as Ediswan). Swan acknowledged that Edison had anticipated him, saying "Edison is entitled to more than I ... he has seen further into this subject, vastly than I, and foreseen and provided for details that I did not comprehend until I saw his system".[29]
By 1879, Edison had produced a new concept: a high resistance lamp in a very high vacuum, which would burn for hundreds of hours. While the earlier inventors had produced electric lighting in laboratory conditions, dating back to a demonstration of a glowing wire by Alessandro Volta in 1800, Edison concentrated on commercial application, and was able to sell the concept to homes and businesses by mass-producing relatively long-lasting light bulbs and creating a complete system for the generation and distribution of electricity.
In just over a decade, Edison's Menlo Park laboratory had expanded to occupy two city blocks. Edison said he wanted the lab to have "a stock of almost every conceivable material". A newspaper article printed in 1887 reveals the seriousness of his claim, stating the lab contained "eight thousand kinds of chemicals, every kind of screw made, every size of needle, every kind of cord or wire, hair of humans, horses, hogs, cows, rabbits, goats, minx, camels ... silk in every texture, cocoons, various kinds of hoofs, shark's teeth, deer horns, tortoise shell ... cork, resin, varnish and oil, ostrich feathers, a peacock's tail, jet, amber, rubber, all ores ..." and the list goes on.[30]
Over his desk, Edison displayed a placard with Sir Joshua Reynolds' famous quotation: "There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking."[31] This slogan was reputedly posted at several other locations throughout the facility.
With Menlo Park, Edison had created the first industrial laboratory concerned with creating knowledge and then controlling its application.
Carbon telephone transmitter[link]
In 1877–78, Edison invented and developed the carbon microphone used in all telephones along with the Bell receiver until the 1980s. After protracted patent litigation, in 1892 a federal court ruled that Edison and not Emile Berliner was the inventor of the carbon microphone. The carbon microphone was also used in radio broadcasting and public address work through the 1920s.
Electric light[link]
Main article: History of the light bulb
Building on the contributions of other developers over the previous three quarters of a century, Edison made improvements to the idea of incandescent light, and entered the public consciousness as "the inventor" of the lightbulb, and a prime mover in developing the necessary infrastructure for electric power.
After many experiments with platinum and other metal filaments, Edison returned to a carbon filament. The first successful test was on October 22, 1879;[32] it lasted 13.5 hours.[33] Edison continued to improve this design and by November 4, 1879, filed for U.S. patent 223,898 (granted on January 27, 1880) for an electric lamp using "a carbon filament or strip coiled and connected to platina contact wires".[34]
Although the patent described several ways of creating the carbon filament including "cotton and linen thread, wood splints, papers coiled in various ways",[34] it was not until several months after the patent was granted that Edison and his team discovered a carbonized bamboo filament that could last over 1,200 hours. The idea of using this particular raw material originated from Edison's recalling his examination of a few threads from a bamboo fishing pole while relaxing on the shore of Battle Lake in the present-day state of Wyoming, where he and other members of a scientific team had traveled so that they could clearly observe a total eclipse of the sun on July 29, 1878, from the Continental Divide.[35]
In 1878, Edison formed the Edison Electric Light Company in New York City with several financiers, including J. P. Morgan and the members of the Vanderbilt family. Edison made the first public demonstration of his incandescent light bulb on December 31, 1879, in Menlo Park. It was during this time that he said: "We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles."[36]
Lewis Latimer joined the Edison Electric Light Company in 1884. Latimer had received a patent in January 1881 for the "Process of Manufacturing Carbons", an improved method for the production of carbon filaments for lightbulbs. Latimer worked as an engineer, a draftsman and an expert witness in patent litigation on electric lights.[37]
George Westinghouse's company bought Philip Diehl's competing induction lamp patent rights (1882) for $25,000, forcing the holders of the Edison patent to charge a more reasonable rate for the use of the Edison patent rights and lowering the price of the electric lamp.[38]
On October 8, 1883, the US patent office ruled that Edison's patent was based on the work of William Sawyer and was therefore invalid. Litigation continued for nearly six years, until October 6, 1889, when a judge ruled that Edison's electric-light improvement claim for "a filament of carbon of high resistance" was valid. To avoid a possible court battle with Joseph Swan, whose British patent had been awarded a year before Edison's, he and Swan formed a joint company called Ediswan to manufacture and market the invention in Britain.
Mahen Theatre in Brno (in what is now the Czech Republic) was the first public building in the world to use Edison's electric lamps, with the installation supervised by Edison's assistant in the invention of the lamp, Francis Jehl.[39] In September 2010, a sculpture of three giant light bulbs was erected in Brno, in front of the theatre.[40]
Electric power distribution[link]
Edison patented a system for electricity distribution in 1880, which was essential to capitalize on the invention of the electric lamp. On December 17, 1880, Edison founded the Edison Illuminating Company. The company established the first investor-owned electric utility in 1882 on Pearl Street Station, New York City. It was on September 4, 1882, that Edison switched on his Pearl Street generating station's electrical power distribution system, which provided 110 volts direct current (DC) to 59 customers in lower Manhattan.[41]
Earlier in the year, in January 1882, he had switched on the first steam-generating power station at Holborn Viaduct in London. The DC supply system provided electricity supplies to street lamps and several private dwellings within a short distance of the station. On January 19, 1883, the first standardized incandescent electric lighting system employing overhead wires began service in Roselle, New Jersey.
War of currents[link]
Main article: War of Currents
Edison's true success, like that of his friend Henry Ford, was in his ability to maximize profits through establishment of mass-production systems and intellectual property rights. George Westinghouse and Edison became adversaries because of Edison's promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution instead of the more easily transmitted alternating current (AC) system invented by Nikola Tesla and promoted by Westinghouse. Unlike DC, AC could be stepped up to very high voltages with transformers, sent over thinner and cheaper wires, and stepped down again at the destination for distribution to users.
In 1887, there were 121 Edison power stations in the United States delivering DC electricity to customers. When the limitations of DC were discussed by the public, Edison launched a propaganda campaign to convince people that AC was far too dangerous to use. The problem with DC was that the power plants could economically deliver DC electricity only to customers within about one and a half miles (about 2.4 km) from the generating station, so that it was suitable only for central business districts. When George Westinghouse suggested using high-voltage AC instead, as it could carry electricity hundreds of miles with marginal loss of power, Edison waged a "War of Currents" to prevent AC from being adopted.
The war against AC led him to become involved in the development and promotion of the electric chair (using AC) as an attempt to portray AC to have greater lethal potential than DC. Edison went on to carry out a brief but intense campaign to ban the use of AC or to limit the allowable voltage for safety purposes. As part of this campaign, Edison's employees publicly electrocuted animals to demonstrate the dangers of AC;[42][43] alternating electric currents are slightly more dangerous in that frequencies near 60 Hz have a markedly greater potential for inducing fatal "cardiac fibrillation" than do direct currents.[44] On one of the more notable occasions, in 1903, Edison's workers electrocuted Topsy the elephant at Luna Park, near Coney Island, after she had killed several men and her owners wanted her put to death.[45] His company filmed the electrocution.
AC replaced DC in most instances of generation and power distribution, enormously extending the range and improving the efficiency of power distribution. Though widespread use of DC ultimately lost favor for distribution, it exists today primarily in long-distance high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems. Low-voltage DC distribution continued to be used in high-density downtown areas for many years but was eventually replaced by AC low-voltage network distribution in many of them.[46]
DC had the advantage that large battery banks could maintain continuous power through brief interruptions of the electric supply from generators and the transmission system. Utilities such as Commonwealth Edison in Chicago had rotary converters or motor-generator sets, which could change DC to AC and AC to various frequencies in the early to mid-20th century. Utilities supplied rectifiers to convert the low voltage AC to DC for such DC loads as elevators, fans and pumps. There were still 1,600 DC customers in downtown New York City as of 2005, and service was finally discontinued only on November 14, 2007.[46] Most subway systems are still powered by direct current.
Fluoroscopy[link]
Edison is credited with designing and producing the first commercially available fluoroscope, a machine that uses X-rays to take radiographs. Until Edison discovered that calcium tungstate fluoroscopy screens produced brighter images than the barium platinocyanide screens originally used by Wilhelm Röntgen, the technology was capable of producing only very faint images.
The fundamental design of Edison's fluoroscope is still in use today, although Edison himself abandoned the project after nearly losing his own eyesight and seriously injuring his assistant, Clarence Dally. Dally had made himself an enthusiastic human guinea pig for the fluoroscopy project and in the process been exposed to a poisonous dose of radiation. He later died of injuries related to the exposure. In 1903, a shaken Edison said "Don't talk to me about X-rays, I am afraid of them."[47]
Work relations[link]
Frank J. Sprague, a competent mathematician and former naval officer, was recruited by Edward H. Johnson and joined the Edison organization in 1883. One of Sprague's contributions to the Edison Laboratory at Menlo Park was to expand Edison's mathematical methods. Despite the common belief that Edison did not use mathematics, analysis of his notebooks reveal that he was an astute user of mathematical analysis conducted by his assistants such as Francis Robbins Upton, for example, determining the critical parameters of his electric lighting system including lamp resistance by an analysis of Ohm's Law, Joule's Law and economics.[48]
Another of Edison's assistants was Nikola Tesla. Tesla claimed that Edison had promised him $50,000 if he succeeded in making improvements to his DC generation plants. Several months later, when Tesla had finished the work and asked to be paid, he said that Edison replied, "When you become a full-fledged American you will appreciate an American joke."[49]
Tesla immediately resigned. With Tesla's salary of $18 per week, the payment would have amounted to over 53 years' pay and the amount was equal to the initial capital of the company. Another account states that Tesla resigned when he was refused a raise to $25 per week.[50]
Although Tesla accepted an Edison Medal later in life, this and other negative events concerning Edison remained with him. The day after Edison died, the New York Times contained extensive coverage of Edison's life, with the only negative opinion coming from Tesla who was quoted as saying:
He had no hobby, cared for no sort of amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene. [...] His method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a little theory and calculation would have saved him 90% of the labor. But he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical knowledge, trusting himself entirely to his inventor's instinct and practical American sense.[51]—Nikola Tesla
One of Edison's famous quotations about his attempts to make the light globe suggest that perhaps Tesla was right about Edison's methods of working: "If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward."[52]
When Edison was a very old man and close to death, he said, in looking back, that the biggest mistake he had made was in not respecting Tesla or his work.[53]
There were 28 men recognized as Edison Pioneers.
Media inventions[link]
The key to Edison's fortunes was telegraphy. With knowledge gained from years of working as a telegraph operator, he learned the basics of electricity. This allowed him to make his early fortune with the stock ticker, the first electricity-based broadcast system. Edison patented the sound recording and reproducing phonograph in 1878. Edison was also granted a patent for the motion picture camera or "Kinetograph". He did the electromechanical design, while his employee W.K.L. Dickson, a photographer, worked on the photographic and optical development. Much of the credit for the invention belongs to Dickson.[32] In 1891, Thomas Edison built a Kinetoscope, or peep-hole viewer. This device was installed in penny arcades, where people could watch short, simple films. The kinetograph and kinetoscope were both first publicly exhibited May 20, 1891.[54]
On August 9, 1892, Edison received a patent for a two-way telegraph. In April 1896, Thomas Armat's Vitascope, manufactured by the Edison factory and marketed in Edison's name, was used to project motion pictures in public screenings in New York City. Later he exhibited motion pictures with voice soundtrack on cylinder recordings, mechanically synchronized with the film.
Officially the kinetoscope entered Europe when the rich American Businessman Irving T. Bush (1869–1948) bought from the Continental Commerce Company of Frank Z. Maguire and Joseph D. Baucus a dozen machines. Bush placed from October 17, 1894, the first kinetoscopes in London. At the same time the French company Kinétoscope Edison Michel et Alexis Werner bought these machines for the market in France. In the last three months of 1894, The Continental Commerce Company sold hundreds of kinetoscopes in Europe (i.e. the Netherlands and Italy). In Germany and in Austria-Hungary the kinetoscope was introduced by the Deutsche-österreichische-Edison-Kinetoscop Gesellschaft, founded by the Ludwig Stollwerck[56] of the Schokoladen-Süsswarenfabrik Stollwerck & Co of Cologne.
The first kinetoscopes arrived in Belgium at the Fairs in early 1895. The Edison's Kinétoscope Français, a Belgian company, was founded in Brussels on January 15, 1895, with the rights to sell the kinetoscopes in Monaco, France and the French colonies. The main investors in this company were Belgian industrialists.[57]
On May 14, 1895, the Edison's Kinétoscope Belge was founded in Brussels. The businessman Ladislas-Victor Lewitzki, living in London but active in Belgium and France, took the initiative in starting this business. He had contacts with Leon Gaumont and the American Mutoscope and Biograph Co. In 1898 he also became a shareholder of the Biograph and Mutoscope Company for France.[57]
In 1901, he visited the Sudbury area in Ontario, Canada, as a mining prospector, and is credited with the original discovery of the Falconbridge ore body. His attempts to mine the ore body were not successful, however, and he abandoned his mining claim in 1903.[58] A street in Falconbridge, as well as the Edison Building, which served as the head office of Falconbridge Mines, are named for him.
In 1902, agents of Thomas Edison bribed a theater owner in London for a copy of A Trip to the Moon by Georges Méliès. Edison then made hundreds of copies and showed them in New York City. Méliès received no compensation. He was counting on taking the film to the US and recapture its huge cost by showing it throughout the country when he realized it had already been shown there by Edison. This effectively bankrupted Méliès.[59]
Other exhibitors similarly routinely copied and exhibited each others' films.[60] To better protect the copyrights on his films, Edison deposited prints of them on long strips of photographic paper with the U.S. copyright office. Many of these paper prints survived longer and in better condition than the actual films of that era.[61]
Edison's favorite movie was The Birth of a Nation. He thought that talkies had "spoiled everything" for him. "There isn't any good acting on the screen. They concentrate on the voice now and have forgotten how to act. I can sense it more than you because I am deaf."[62] His favorite stars were Mary Pickford and Clara Bow.[63]
In 1908, Edison started the Motion Picture Patents Company, which was a conglomerate of nine major film studios (commonly known as the Edison Trust). Thomas Edison was the first honorary fellow of the Acoustical Society of America, which was founded in 1929.
West Orange and Fort Myers (1886–1931)[link]

Edison moved from Menlo Park after the death of Mary Stilwell and purchased a home known as "Glenmont" in 1886 as a wedding gift for Mina in Llewellyn Park in West Orange, New Jersey. In 1885, Thomas Edison bought property in Fort Myers, Florida, and built what was later called Seminole Lodge as a winter retreat. Edison and his wife Mina spent many winters in Fort Myers where they recreated and Edison tried to find a domestic source of natural rubber.
Henry Ford, the automobile magnate, later lived a few hundred feet away from Edison at his winter retreat in Fort Myers, Florida. Edison even contributed technology to the automobile. They were friends until Edison's death.
In 1928, Edison joined the Fort Myers Civitan Club. He believed strongly in the organization, writing that "The Civitan Club is doing things—big things—for the community, state, and nation, and I certainly consider it an honor to be numbered in its ranks."[64] He was an active member in the club until his death, sometimes bringing Henry Ford to the club's meetings.
The final years[link]
Edison was active in business right up to the end. Just months before his death in 1931, the Lackawanna Railroad implemented electric trains in suburban service from Hoboken to Gladstone, Montclair and Dover in New Jersey. Transmission was by means of an overhead catenary system, with the entire project under Edison's guidance. To the surprise of many, he was at the throttle of the very first MU (Multiple-Unit) train to depart Lackawanna Terminal in Hoboken, driving the train all the way to Dover.[65]
As another tribute to his lasting legacy, the same fleet of cars Edison deployed on the Lackawanna in 1931 served commuters until their retirement in 1984, when some of them were purchased by the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum in Lenox, Massachusetts. A special plaque commemorating the joint achievement of both the railway and Edison can be seen today in the waiting room of Lackawanna Terminal in Hoboken, presently operated by New Jersey Transit.[65]
Edison was said to have been influenced by a popular fad diet in his last few years; "the only liquid he consumed was a pint of milk every three hours".[32] He is reported to have believed this diet would restore his health. However, this tale is doubtful. In 1930, the year before Edison died, Mina said in an interview about him, "correct eating is one of his greatest hobbies." She also said that during one of his periodic "great scientific adventures", Edison would be up at 7:00, have breakfast at 8:00, and be rarely home for lunch or dinner, implying that he continued to have all three.[62]
Edison became the owner of his Milan, Ohio, birthplace in 1906. On his last visit, in 1923, he was shocked to find his old home still lit by lamps and candles.
Thomas Edison died of complications of diabetes on October 18, 1931, in his home, "Glenmont" in Llewellyn Park in West Orange, New Jersey, which he had purchased in 1886 as a wedding gift for Mina. He is buried behind the home.[66][67]
Edison's last breath is reportedly contained in a test tube at the Henry Ford Museum. Ford reportedly convinced Charles Edison to seal a test tube of air in the inventor's room shortly after his death, as a memento. A plaster death mask was also made.[68]
Mina died in 1947.
Views on politics, religion and metaphysics[link]
Historian Paul Israel has characterized Edison as a "freethinker".[32] Edison was heavily influenced by Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason.[32] Edison defended Paine's "scientific deism", saying, "He has been called an atheist, but atheist he was not. Paine believed in a supreme intelligence, as representing the idea which other men often express by the name of deity."[32] In an October 2, 1910, interview in the New York Times Magazine, Edison stated:
Nature is what we know. We do not know the gods of religions. And nature is not kind, or merciful, or loving. If God made me — the fabled God of the three qualities of which I spoke: mercy, kindness, love — He also made the fish I catch and eat. And where do His mercy, kindness, and love for that fish come in? No; nature made us — nature did it all — not the gods of the religions.[69]
Edison was called an atheist for those remarks, and although he did not allow himself to be drawn into the controversy publicly, he clarified himself in a private letter: "You have misunderstood the whole article, because you jumped to the conclusion that it denies the existence of God. There is no such denial, what you call God I call Nature, the Supreme intelligence that rules matter. All the article states is that it is doubtful in my opinion if our intelligence or soul or whatever one may call it lives hereafter as an entity or disperses back again from whence it came, scattered amongst the cells of which we are made."[32]
Nonviolence was key to Edison's moral views, and when asked to serve as a naval consultant for World War I, he specified he would work only on defensive weapons and later noted, "I am proud of the fact that I never invented weapons to kill." Edison's philosophy of nonviolence extended to animals as well, about which he stated: "Nonviolence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages."[70] However, he is also notorious for having electrocuted a number of dogs in 1888, both by direct and alternating current, in an attempt to argue that the former (which he had a vested business interest in promoting) was safer than the latter (favored by his rival George Westinghouse).[71]
Edison's success in promoting direct current as less lethal also led to alternating current being used in the electric chair adopted by New York in 1889 as a supposedly humane execution method. Because Westinghouse was angered by the decision, he funded Eighth Amendment-based appeals for inmates set to die in the electric chair, ultimately resulting in Edison providing the generators which powered early electrocutions and testifying successfully on behalf of the state that electrocution was a painless method of execution.[72]
Tributes[link]
Places and people named for Edison[link]
Several places have been named after Edison, most notably the town of Edison, New Jersey. Thomas Edison State College, a nationally known college for adult learners, is in Trenton, New Jersey. Two community colleges are named for him: Edison State College in Fort Myers, Florida, and Edison Community College in Piqua, Ohio.[73] There are numerous high schools named after Edison; see Edison High School.
In 1883, the City Hotel in Sunbury, Pennsylvania was the first building to be lit with Edison's three-wire system. The hotel was renamed The Hotel Edison upon Edison's return to the City on 1922. [74]
Edison was on hand to turn on the lights at the Hotel Edison in New York City when it opened in 1931.
Three bridges around the United States have been named in his honor (see Edison Bridge).
In space, his name is commemorated in asteroid 742 Edisona.

Museums and memorials[link]
In West Orange, New Jersey, the 13.5 acre (5.5 ha) Glenmont estate is maintained and operated by the National Park Service as the Edison National Historic Site.[75] The Thomas Alva Edison Memorial Tower and Museum is in the town of Edison, New Jersey.[76] In Beaumont, Texas, there is an Edison Museum, though Edison never visited there.[citation needed]
The Port Huron Museum, in Port Huron, Michigan, restored the original depot that Thomas Edison worked out of as a young newsbutcher. The depot has been named the Thomas Edison Depot Museum.[77] The town has many Edison historical landmarks, including the graves of Edison's parents, and a monument along the St. Clair River. Edison's influence can be seen throughout this city of 32,000.
In Detroit, the Edison Memorial Fountain in Grand Circus Park was created to honor his achievements. The limestone fountain was dedicated October 21, 1929, the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of the lightbulb.[78] On the same night, The Edison Institute was dedicated in nearby Dearborn.
In early 2010, Edison was proposed by the Ohio Historical Society as a finalist in a statewide vote for inclusion in Statuary Hall at the United States Capitol.

Awards named in honor of Edison[link]
The Edison Medal was created on February 11, 1904, by a group of Edison's friends and associates. Four years later the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE), later IEEE, entered into an agreement with the group to present the medal as its highest award. The first medal was presented in 1909 to Elihu Thomson and, in a twist of fate, was awarded to Nikola Tesla in 1917. It is the oldest award in the area of electrical and electronics engineering, and is presented annually "for a career of meritorious achievement in electrical science, electrical engineering or the electrical arts."
In the Netherlands, the major music awards are named the Edison Award after him.
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers concedes the Thomas A. Edison Patent Award to individual patents since 2000.[79]
Honors and awards given to Edison[link]

On November 6, 1915, The New York Times announced that both Edison and Tesla were to jointly receive the 1915 Nobel Prize but it did not occur.[84] The details of what happened are not known but Tesla who had once worked for Edison quit when he was promised a large bonus for solving a problem and then after being successful was told the promise was a joke.[85] Tesla once said that if Edison had to find a needle in a haystack he would take apart the haystack one straw at a time.[86] The Prize was awarded to Sir William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg "for their services in the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays".
Other items named after Edison[link]
The United States Navy named the USS Edison (DD-439), a Gleaves class destroyer, in his honor in 1940. The ship was decommissioned a few months after the end of World War II. In 1962, the Navy commissioned USS Thomas A. Edison (SSBN-610), a fleet ballistic missile nuclear-powered submarine.
Decommissioned on December 1, 1983, Thomas A. Edison was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on April 30, 1986. She went through the Navy's Nuclear Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program at Bremerton, Washington, beginning on October 1, 1996. When she finished the program on December 1, 1997, she ceased to exist as a complete ship and was listed as scrapped.
In popular culture[link]
Main article: Thomas Edison in popular culture
Thomas Edison has appeared in popular culture as a character in novels, films, comics and video games. His prolific inventing helped make him an icon and he has made appearances in popular culture during his lifetime down to the present day. His history with Nikola Tesla has also provided dramatic tension and is a theme returned to numerous times.
On February 11, 2011, on Thomas Edison's 164th birthday, Google's homepage featured an animated Google Doodle commemorating his many inventions. When the cursor was hovered over the doodle, a series of mechanisms seemed to move, causing a lightbulb to glow.[87]

Marco Tempest is a Swiss magician based in New York City. He is reputed for his multimedia magic and use of interactive technology and computer graphics in his illusions[1] and presentations.[2] He stars in the eight part television series "The Virtual Magician".[3] broadcasting in over 50 countries.[4]
Contents |
Career[link]
Marco Tempest is best known as a magician/performance artist who combines video, computer graphics and other technology of the moment with the ideas and technology of magic. His television series "The Virtual Magician" has aired in some 49 markets worldwide.
A native of Zurich, Switzerland, Tempest won numerous awards as a youngster for his use of illusion with contemporary choreography. While still in his teens, he became one of Europe's top professional magicians as part of the duo United Artists. Collaborating with Martin Cottet, Tempest presented an unusual four-hands "flash act" in showrooms and on television throughout Europe and Asia.
Style[link]
In 1989, Tempest began developing his own style with visual and conceptual "dance magic". His show "Key of the Imagination" incorporated a distinctive Eastern style including fans, origami, Kabuki streamers and boomerangs. Tempest was soon touring worldwide, picking up such honors as New York's World Cup of Magic and Madrid's World Championship of Magic Award.
Tempest's interest in digital technologies generated his unusual performance style, in which an exploration of illusion arts merged with interactive high tech animation. The result was his "NeXT Wave of Magic," which premiered in Zurich in December 1991. Tempest's use of a 32-screen video wall and the latest in techno-music earned him star spots in television variety shows, commercials, performing arts centers and corporate events in the U.S., Japan, France, Monte Carlo, Germany, Spain, and the UK. His ability to transform logos and products into 3-D animatronics put him much in demand on the corporate market, which became a major focus of his work for the next 15 years.
Performances[link]
Tempest’s act has been featured in casino shows in the U.S and around the world, including Dreamstore at Monte Carlo Sporting Club, Magiquest at Harrah's Casino in Atlantic City in 1990, and The Good Time Variety Show at The Showboat Casino Hotel, Atlantic City in 1992. In the corporate realm, he has made numerous appearances on behalf of Panasonic, Apple, Lucent Technologies, Johnson & Johnson, I.B.M., Toyota, Silicon Graphics, Pfizer, Cisco, Microsoft and many others at corporate events and trade shows since 1991 all around the world. Tempest created his first full-evening touring show, The Magic of Marco Tempest, which completed a 12 week touring engagement traveling to major theatres throughout Switzerland, Belgium and Holland in the fall of 1995. The show combined traditional illusion techniques with the latest virtual reality and computer animation techniques, bringing technical special effects to live performance which had, till then, been available only to film and video audiences.
In 1996, Tempest moved to New York City, where he continues to live and work today. He continues to perform extensively in the corporate market, on television and, more recently, on the internet. In 1998 he was awarded France’s top honor for magicians, the Mandrake D’Or. He began the development of and marketing for his first 13 part television series “The Virtual Magician – Keeper of Secrets,” beginning in 2000, and the series ran for two seasons (2003–2004) in 49 different markets around the world, and continues in syndication in many of those markets today. In the series, Tempest played a magician from a future time when technology rules and magic and mystery have died. Using his own secret technologies, he traveled into the digital archives of time and retrieved the greatest mysteries from the past. He brought those mysteries into our time and performed them for people in everyday situations – on the street, in restaurants, etc. The theme and main character of “The Virtual Magician” has been carried forward in Tempest’s more recent television appearances around the world, and particularly in his “Magic of Marco Tempest” television specials in Japan (2006-2007) and Korea (spring 2007).
On November 13, 2011, Tempest was featured on an episode of CNN's The Next List.[5]
Phonecam Magic[link]
In 2006, Tempest began posting “Phonecam” magic on YouTube and other popular viral video sites. Initially, the postings were a challenge in response to magicians on television shows who had used either special camera tricks, editing, or digital effects to present magic which was only possible in that medium. The rules are:
- Shoot the magic on a phonecam in one take. No cuts, no edits.
- The magic must be original – nothing from a book or that other magicians are doing.
Tempest’s first phonecam trick, in which he caused a borrowed umbrella to shrink visibly on camera, was later picked up and featured on Jay Leno’s Tonight show, and a later version earned him a spot on HBO’s “Comedy Festival” shot at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Magic Projection[link]
Tempest does a performance holding a blank canvas that moving images are projected onto, the images adapt and change to the moving of the canvas.[6]

No pasa nada allá afuera
Y dentro de ti, mil cosas suceden
Sientes que el tiempo no espera
Te pierdes no sabes por donde comenzar
Momento de incertidumbre
Preguntas que quedan sin contestar
Esperas que se iluminen tus pasos
Y que algo toque profundo tu corazón
(Chorus)
Días, de melancolía y sueños
De conversación en silencio
Días que cambian otros días
Donde descubres algo más
Hey ie ie eh
Hey ie ie eh
Una batalla constante
Entre lo que eres capaz y la
Inseguridad
Los errores se enfrentan con miedo
Y el ego que muerde confunde
La razón.
Y el cielo cambia sin verlo
En esta confusión y la falta de ilusión
Y en un respiro se encuentra el alivio
Que calma y que te hace salir a continuar
(Chorus)
Días, de melancolía y sueños
De conversación en silencio
Días que cambian otros días
Donde descubres algo más
Días, de melancolía y sueños
De conversación en silencio
Días que cambian otros días
Donde descubres algo más
Hey ie
Hey ie ie eh
Pienso en ti
Estás ahí
En mis recuerdos
Y tu voz
Cerca de mí
Esta
En mis sueños
Quiero que sepas no olvide
Tus besos y tu forma de querer
Sigues en mi corazón
Te extraño y no lo puedo esconder
Sin ti,
Las horas pasan
Sin ti
Duele el alma
Sin ti
Las calles tan vacías
Sin ti.
Y tu piel
La siento aún
Cerca de mi cuerpo
Suelo creer
Que al despertar
Te econtraré
Mirándote
Quiero que sepas no olvide...
(Francis Amat / Alfredo Mesa)
Bucear en el fondo de tu alma
Tenderme en tu calma, y en tu borde navegar
agua cielo, cielo y agua resumen en ti
slo el mar, slo el mar, slo el mar
Contemplarte, en tus tardes cenicientas
Y en las caracolas de tu enfado naufragar
Nubes grises mil tormentas resumen en ti
Slo el mar, slo el mar, slo el mar
Coro:
Y en tus olas mi temor
y en tu brisa mi deseo
y al comps de tu marea
el pual de mi mareo
y mirarte y encontrar
solamente tu reflejo
en el mar, en el mar, en el mar
Derramar tu esencia en el cuenco de mi mano
Perderte, recogerte y volverte a derramar
Sal, coral, espuma y barro resumen en ti
Slo el mar, slo el mar, slo el mar
Y en tus olas mi temor...
Y en tus olas mi temor...
(Andrs Calamaro)
Tanto tiempo te esper sentada aqu
que ya el invierno me alcanz
sin gamuln
coro:
Ser por eso que hoy estamos aqu
no hay nadie ms que t y yo
Tantas veces lo so, como real
que quiso el tiempo y quiso nada ms
T me habrs dejado resulta extrao
Por que a mi lado no has estado jams
coro:
Tanto tiempo te esper sentada aqu
que ya el invierno me alcanz
sin gamuln
Ser que estamos aqu solos t y yo...
(Claudio Quiones)
Sigo en la calle buscndote y t en fin
ests huyendo, estoy murindome
Y no me importa lo que pase entre t y yo
slo quiero tu voz, estoy murindome
Y todo est en un cristal y todo est tan fro aqu
siento tu voz en la pared siento que ests mirndome
Coro:
Y yo no quiero ya la calle
yo no quiero la corriente
slo tu boca
sigo buscndote en fin
Sigo observando entre la gente y no me ves
y yo tampoco te veo a ti, estoy murindome
Veo este mundo y me parece un algodn
y estoy comindolo, y estoy mirndote
Y todo est en un cristal y todo est tan fro aqu
siento tu voz en la pared siento que ests mirndome
Y yo no quiero ya la calle...
(Tito Dávila / Cecilia Toussaint)
Si después de llorar
si después de quebrar
no hay alivio
Si rastrear el dolor
entre tanta pasión
es lo mismo
coro:
Quemaré ciudades
cambiaré de planes
hoy mismo
Contaré verdades
Sólo para estar contigo
Ya no puedo amor
contener el temor
al olvido
nadie tiene valor ni siquiera emoción
sin tu abrigo
coro:
Quemaré ciudades
cambiaré de planes
hoy mismo
contaré verdades
sólo para estar contigo
Vivir así no tiene sentido
si soy esclava de una ilusión
vivir así no tiene sentido mi amor
quemaré ciudades sólo para estar contigo
(Nicole / Jimmy frazier)
Observarte bien, cerca
Descubriéndote
Puedo encontrar, tu ser
Sin perderme esta vez
Recorriéndote, por dentro te conozco bien
Hay un secreto entre los dos
Que cada día crece más.
Quiero, que estés muy cerca
Quiero, imaginar
Quiero, historias nuestras
Quiero, ir y volver
Quiero, texturas nuevas
Quiero, junto a ti
Formas al revés
Que se funden una y otra vez
Un rojo intenso
Hoy no escaparé
Me disuelvo en ti, hasta morir
Y puedo tocar y ver
Los colores en tu imaginación
Y dibujar
Mi respiración
Y mezclarnos más, mucho más
Quiero...
(Claudio Quiñones)
Estoy en el vacío, estoy muy lejos de ti
Y siento que esto no va muy bien
Para mi...
Y siento que es así me quedo sola por aquí
Y tú con quien andas
Me paso el tiempo pensando en ti
Hasta el cansancio, porque
Coro:
Te fuiste esa mañana, con mi amor y con mi alma
Y dejaste mis días oscuros
Dejaste mi vida al desnudo
Ya no pretendas nada, tengo alerta mis sentidos
Y se que hay algo nuevo para mi
Y no es amor, perdido
Y tú lo hiciste así amor de palabras para mi
Corazón metálico
Me paso el tiempo pensando en ti
Hasta hacer nada, porque...
Coro:
Te fuiste esa mañana, con mi amor y con mi alma
Y dejaste mis días oscuros
Dejaste mi vida al desnudo
Porque te fuiste esa mañana, con tus promesas con tus ganas
Y dejaste todo un mundo perdido
Voy a revelar una historia
que es a veces mentira y otras, no es verdad
me quedé sentada esperando la llegada
de la suerte, no podía tardar
y pasó tanto tiempo que llegué a ver sombras
en color
y pasó tanta gente por delante
que nadie me vio
esperaría de pie que al anochecer
se fundiera con la tarde y el amanecer
como un vendaval a mi paso se revuelven
los trozos de un quemado papel
y creció a mi lado como un árbol
toda una ilusión
y creció a su lado monstruosa toda una
obsesión
En plena noche a eso de las tres
algo se acerca y no se deja ver
abre mi puerta quiero entrar y salir
y refrescarme antes de repetir
vivo en la calle estudio de aprendiz
con libros que en la escuela nunca vi
abre mi puerta quiero entrar y salir
y refrescarme antes de repetir
me perdería de pie
esa sensación de encontrarme con las
cosas por segunda vez
La oportunidad de buscar en los cajones
un recuerdo que amar
y pasó tanta gente por delante
(Miguel Zavaleta)
Cuantos das debern pasar
Cuantas horas ms tenemos que esperar,
Extrao ser, no puedo hablarte adorable ser
Cuanta gente vuela por aqu
cuantos seres que no son igual a mi
mirando el tren, tus ojos viajan y yo espero ver,
Que ests tan cerca mo, cerca mo, cerca de mo...
Te siento en todo momento
cada respiro en toda dirección
puedo soñarte despierta,
y es tu presencia una alucinación
todo lo que hay en ti (todo lo que hay en ti)
todo lo que siento en ti
es magia que me ayuda a vivir
todo lo que veo en ti (todo lo que veo en ti)
se convierte para mí
en aire que me ayuda a vivir.
[Chourus]
No me dejes ir, no te alejes
No puedo vivir y perderte
No me dejes ir, no te alejes
Quiero descubrir lo que sientes.
Presiento cuando apareces,
En un suspiro de mi corazón
Y mis sentidos se pierden
Cada segundo es una sensación.
todo lo que hay en ti...
[Chourus]
Dime si en tus sueños me puedes sentir
Dime si me extrañas cuando estás sin mí
Dime si en silencio me puedes oír
momma always warned me bout boys like you
she said that all you wanna do
is run over me like shoes
and take me to your crib and try to finnd somethin sweet
wanna be the first to run and tell
you took my virginity
so i know ima hold back until i know bout love, kisses and hug
im sure that, that will be enough
if you just wait im gonna give it to you boy
chorus:
but before i do this is what i want you to do
boy you should listen, baby i aint dissin
i know you think im flippin
but you wont catch me slippin
you wont catch me slippin
all the other girls they all grown as me
seeing all the stuff they've done
now they wanna know about me
i tell em bout me and you
how we've been holdin out
and no matter what they say ima show em what love's all about
so when we finally do our thang
its gonna be fine like wine
take some time make sure its right
so as far as me and you
this is what we gonna dob
but you must listen first to what ima say to you
(chorus)
bridge:
oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
oooh oooh oooh oooh
oooh oooh
boy wont you listen
(chorus)
(Litto Nebbia / Juan Carlos Ingamaro)
Necesito que digas que me quieres
Y así podré ser libre, ser libre de verdad
Se que ya estás muy acostumbrado
A que nadie diga que te quiere, que te odia o que se va
Coro:
Y así verás, que estoy cambiando un poco
Y notarás que soy igual que tu
Y entenderás en mi dulce quimera
Ya que soy la que espera
Yo me transformaré
Cuando yo me transforme no habrá pájaro
Que envidie mi silbido porque serán igual a mi
Algunos se irán volando entre las nubes
Mientras yo haré lo mismo pero en dirección a ti
(Claudio Quiñones / Nicole)
Déjame sólo quiero ver
sólo transportar todo lo que pienso
Gotas que caen y rozan algo sencillo
de distinguir
Y cae la noche junto con este sol
Surgen palabras, surge algo de amor
Siempre doy lo que me pidas
siempre espero más que una ilusión
Déjame, sólo sentir
sólo extrañar tus sentimientos
Y cae la noche junto con este sol
Surgen palabras, surge algo de amor
Quiero salir y escapar de aquí
Irme contigo a algún lugar, solos
Y quiero sentirte y verte sonreír
y ver que todo es tu y yo
Déjame, sólo quiero ver
Tränen der Nacht er ist allein auf dieser Welt
Niemand der versteht, was damals war
In Gedanken spürt er einen Hauch von Zärtlichkeit
Und er fühlt sie ist für ihn zum Greifen nah'
Nimm die Tränen der Nacht nicht so schwer
Denk einfach nur an morgen
Glaub' was gestern geschah
Ist den Traum dieser nicht wert
Halt die Liebe nicht länger allein
In deinem Herzen verborgen
Doch du hast mich nicht gehört
Tränen der Nacht die Sehnsucht brennt er will zu ihr
Fühlt sich nur noch einsam und allein
Hat geglaubt die Zeit heilt alle Wunden wieder zu
Sucht den Weg um wieder nah' bei ihr zu sein
Nimm die Tränen der Nacht nicht so schwer
Denk einfach nur an morgen
Glaub' was gestern geschah
Ist den Traum dieser nicht wert
Halt die Liebe nicht länger allein
In deinem Herzen verborgen
Doch du hast mich nicht gehört
Nimm die Tränen der Nacht nicht so schwer
Denk einfach nur an morgen
Glaub' was gestern geschah
Ist den Traum dieser nicht wert
Halt die Liebe nicht länger allein
In deinem Herzen verborgen
Doch du hast mich nicht gehört
Du hast Zeit für alles und für jeden:
Freunde, Tennis, Fernsehn und Büro:
Da kannst du dann ohne Ende reden.
Vor allem über dich,
Na klar doch, sowieso.
Nur für mich, da bleibt,
So wie's aussieht, wenig Zeit.
Nur'n paar Worte, irgendwie und irgendwo.
Wenn ich dich nicht lieben würde,
immer noch.
Wenn nur mein verdammtes Herz nicht wär'.
Wenn ich einfach fortgeh'n könnte, wär' ich doch
schon lange nicht mehr hier.
Wenn ich dich nicht lieben würde,
So und so,
Hätte ich mit dir längst aufgehört.
Aber so geh' ich halt volles Risiko
Und hoff', du bist es wert.
Ich will von dir endlich wieder alles:
Weinen, Lachen, Streiten - Sehnsucht pur.
Nicht nur so'n Gefühl im Fall des Falles.
Manche mögen's heiß
Und nicht auf die coole Tour.
Glaub' mir, ich bin's leid -
Jeder Tag 'ne Ewigkeit
Du bist da - doch ich frag mich, wo bleibst du nur.
Wenn ich dich nicht lieben würde,
immer noch.
Wenn nur mein verdammtes Hert nicht wär'.
Wenn ich einfach fortgeh'n könnte, wär' ich doch
schon lange nicht mehr hier.
Wenn ich dich nicht lieben würde,
So und so,
Hätte ich mit dir längst aufgehört.
Aber so geh' ich halt volles Risiko
Und hoff', du bist es wert.
Wenn ich dich nicht lieben würde,
Wenn ich dich nicht brauchen würde,
So wie keinen andern Mann zuvor.
Wenn ich dich nicht lieben würde,
So und so,
Hätte ich mit dir längst aufgehört.
Aber so geh' ich halt volles Risiko
Und hoff', du bist es wert.
Hörst du den Wind ...
Siehst du den Mond ...
Ein Lied erinnert dich an die Vergangenheit
Und du hoffst
Verlor'ne Seelen kehren heim
Komm' und dreh dich mit den Geistern der Nacht
Schau', was Sehnsucht mit dir macht
Such' im Dunkeln ein vertrautes Gesicht
Tauch' in einen Ozean aus Licht
Hab den Mut - hab den Mut
Spürst du die Hand ...
Sie führt dich sanft ...
Drum schließ' die Augen und du kannst die Stimmen hör'n
Es ist wahr
Vertraute Seelen sind dir nah
Komm' und dreh dich mit den Geistern der Nacht
Schau', was Sehnsucht mit dir macht
Such' im Dunkeln ein vertrautes Gesicht
Tauch' in einen Ozean aus Licht
Hab' den Mut - hab den Mut
Komm' und dreh dich mit den Geistern der Nacht
Schau', was Sehnsucht mit dir macht
Such' im Dunkeln ein vertrautes Gesicht
Tauch' in einen Ozean aus Licht
Hab' den Mut - hab den Mut
Mal wieder open-end im Nachtcafé,
Auf dieser Party ist wie immer die Hölle los.
Aber das stört dich nicht,
Du hast nur Augen für mich... Heut' Nacht
und ich geb' ehrlich zu:
Sonst ist hier keiner so wie du.
Erzähl' mir jetzt bloß nicht, daß du mich liebst,
Daß du auf mich gewartet hast schon 'ne Ewigkeit.
Kannst ruhig ehrlich sein,
Baby, ich weiß schon Bescheid.
Du willst sowieso sowieso sowieso
Nur 'ne Nacht mit mir
Alles andre ist, alles andre ist
Dir egal
Du willst sowieso sowieso sowieso
Nur mal ausprobier'n
Ob es alles anders ist, alles anders ist
Dieses Mal.
Irgendwann kommt raus,
Wer hier wen mehr liebt und braucht.
Du bist ein Mann, na ja,
Aber was du kannst, kann ich auch.
Will gar nicht wissen, was wird morgen sein.
Du mußt mit nichts versprechen,
Was du nicht halten kannst.
Es ist doch nur ein Spiel
Und es kommt nie wie man will... na und.
Heut' sind wir vogelfrei,
Morgen ist alles vorbei... oder auch nicht?
Du willst mein Bestes... na, das ist doch klar
Und vielleicht kriegst du's ja auch
Heute von mir geschenkt.
Komm schon, mach' mir nichts vor,
Ich sag dir auch, was ich denk'.
Du willst sowieso sowieso sowieso
Nur 'ne Nacht mit mir
Alles andre ist, alles andre ist
Dir egal
Du willst sowieso sowieso sowieso
Nur mal ausprobier'n
Ob es alles anders ist, alles anders ist
Dieses Mal.
Irgendwann kommt raus,
Wer hier wen mehr liebt und braucht.
Du bist ein Mann, na ja,
Aber was du kannst, kann ich auch.
Sowieso
Sowieso
Du, ich hab' so'n Gefühl,
Als wenn's bei uns ganz einfach stimmt,
Und geht es trotzdem schief,
Na ja, dann wär's ja auch nicht schlimm.
Denn ich will sowieso sowieso sowieso
Nur 'ne Nacht mit dir
Alles andre ist, alles andre ist
mir egal
Ich will sowieso sowieso sowieso
Nur mal ausprobier'n
Ob es alles anders ist, alles anders ist
Dieses Mal.
Irgendwann kommt raus,
Wer hier wen mehr liebt und braucht.
Du bist ein Mann, na ja,
Aber was du kannst, kann ich auch.
Sowieso
Sowieso!
Dieser Abend war nichts
Keine Lust auf gar nichts.
Und da redest du mich an.
Hab' dich oft geseh'n
Und konnt nie verstehen,
Was man an dir finden kann.
Und ich schwanke zwischen zwei Gefühlen,
Einerseits will ich bloß heim,
Aber andrerseits will ich auch nicht gern allein sein.
Rette mich,
Irgendwas muß heut' abend mit mir noch passier'n.
Rette mich
Irgendwer muß die Zärtlichkeit noch alarmier'n.
Kannst du dich 'n bißchen beeilen,
Sonst sterb' ich an Langeweile.
Hey, was ist bloß los mit mir.
Rette mich,
Irgendwie weiß ich einfach nicht mehr was ich will.
Rette mich,
Irgendwie spielt mein Herz so ein seltsames Spiel.
Einerseits find' ich dich okay,
Andrerseits total daneben.
Hey, was ist bloß los mit mir,
Irgendwas muß passier'n.
Und dann springt mal wieder
Dieser Funke über,
Knisternd wie'n paar Tausend Volt.
Langsam wird's gefährlich,
Bin zu mir ganz ehrlich,
Hab' das alles nicht gewollt
Und ich denk mir, wie konnt' das passieren.
Ich war doch total schlecht drauf.
Du berührst mich und ich denk' mir,
Hör' bloß nicht auf.
Rette mich,
Irgendwas muß heut' abend mit mir noch passier'n.
Rette mich
Irgendwer muß die Zärtlichkeit noch alarmier'n.
Kannst du dich 'n bißchen beeilen,
Sonst sterb' ich an Langeweile.
Hey, was ist bloß los mit mir.
Rette mich,
Irgendwie weiß ich einfach nicht mehr was ich will.
Rette mich,
Irgendwie spielt mein Herz so ein seltsames Spiel.
Einerseits find' ich dich okay,
Andrerseits total daneben.
Hey, was ist bloß los mit mir,
Irgendwas muß passier'n.
Ich hab' nichts mehr unter Kontrolle
Und es macht mir Spaß.
Die Gefühle machen, was sie wollen
Und es macht mir Spaß.
Rette mich,
Irgendwas muß heut' abend mit mir noch passier'n.
Rette mich
Irgendwer muß die Zärtlichkeit noch alarmier'n.
Kannst du dich 'n bißchen beeilen,
Sonst sterb' ich an Langeweile.
Hey, was ist bloß los mit mir.
Rette mich,
Irgendwie weiß ich einfach nicht mehr was ich will.
Rette mich,
Irgendwie spielt mein Herz so ein seltsames Spiel.
Einerseits find' ich dich okay,
Andrerseits total daneben.
Hey, was ist bloß los mit mir,
Irgendwas muß passier'n.
Rette mich,
Irgendwas muß heut' abend mit mir noch passier'n.
Rette mich
Irgendwer muß die Zärtlichkeit noch alarmier'n.
Du hast die Kuscheltiere aus dem Bett verbannt,
den ersten Liebesbrief geschrieben und verbrannt.
Fühlst dich total verwirrt,
schließt dich in dein Zimmer ein.
Du bist jetzt vierzehn - würdest so gern zwanzig sein.
Gehst mit 'ner Freundin in verbot'ne Filme rein.
Wachst oft im Dunkeln auf
Und du hast im Schlaf geweint.
Dann sitzt du stundenlang vorm Spiegel -
Schaust dich an,
Kannst dir nicht vorstell'n,
Daß ein Mann dich lieben kann.
Oh Giulia
Dein Gefühl erwacht.
Die kriegst Sehnsucht über Nacht.
Oh Giulia
Du verlierst dich heut'
Zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit.
Oh Giulia
Tränen im Gesicht,
So leicht brechen Herzen nicht.
Oh Giulia
Bald ist es soweit
und die Wunden heilt die Zeit -
Die Zeit der Zärtlichkeit.
Du schwärmst für einen,
Der sich gar nichts aus dir macht.
Hast dich für immer und total zu Haus verkracht.
In deinem Herz der Stein
Scheint so schwer wie Blei zu sein.
Du malst dich an - die Augen schwarz, die Lippen rot
Und in der Nacht, da wird dein Bett zum Rettungsboot.
Oh Giulia
Dein Gefühl erwacht.
Die kriegst Sehnsucht über Nacht.
Oh Giulia
Du verlierst dich heut'
Zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit.
Oh Giulia
Tränen im Gesicht,
So leicht brechen Herzen nicht.
Oh Giulia
Bald ist es soweit
und die Wunden heilt die Zeit -
Die Zeit der Zärtlichkeit.
Oh Giulia
So leicht brechen Herzen nicht.
Oh Giulia
Bald ist es soweit
Und die Wunden heilt die Zeit.
Ich hab' dich heut' abend geseh'n
Du warst nicht wie immer alleine
Ich sah sie stolz neben dir gehen
Und 10000 Nadeln durchbohrten mein Herz
Ja ich geb zu
Ich vergesse nicht
Nicht so schnell wie du
Wie es war
Wie es mit uns war
Kein Berg war uns jemals zu hoch
Kein Gipfel den wir nicht bezwangen
Berührten die Wolken doch dann
Kam ein Sturm und wirt stürzten tief in die Schlucht
Ja ich geb zu
Ich vergesse nicht
Nicht so schnell wie du
Kann es nicht
So wie früher sein
Zu tief ins Herz
Zu schwer ins Blut
Ging mir diese Zeit mit dir
Ich spür' dieselbe Sehnsucht
Tief in mir
In meinem Herz
In jedem Traum
Wirst du immer sein
Und daß ich dich noch liebe
Mußt du mir verzeih'n
Ich hab' dich heut' abend geseh'n
Und wagte ein zaghaftes Lächeln
Sekunden voll Hoffnung und Angst
Und dann kam von dir dieser Blick zurück
Da war mir klar
Es kann wieder so sein
Wie es mal war
Wenn du willst
Wenn du wirklich willst
Zu tief ins Herz
Zu schwer ins Blut
Ging mir diese Zeit mit dir
Ich spür' dieselbe Sehnsucht
Tief in mir
In meinem Herz
In jedem Traum
Wirst du immer sein
Und daß ich dich noch liebe
Mußt du mir verzeih'n
Sommernächtelich heiss
Perlen auf nackter Haut
Spiegeln Partylicht
Langeweile pur
Rückzugwege zugebaut
Plötzlich dein Gesicht
Blicke, die mir rauf und runter geh'n
Die nicht um Gnade fleh'n
Und meine Neugier läßt sich geh'n.
Komm und geh' ein bißchen zu weit.
Komm, wir genießen alleinsein zu zweit.
Einfach den Launen des Zufalls zu folgen,
Heut' ist mir danach.
Manchmal bin ich gern', so gern' schwach.
Nimm meine Hand.
Nein, komm mir nicht zu nah'.
Mein Gott, was soll ich tun?
Komm, geh' - nein, bleib'.
Nach außen kühl und klar,
Tief drinnen ein Taifun.
Ich lös' den Blick aus der Umklammerung,
Lack in die Dämmerung
Und alle Träume sind noch jung.
Komm und geh' ein bißchen zu weit.
Komm, wir genießen alleinsein zu zweit.
Einfach den Launen des Zufalls zu folgen,
Heut' ist mir danach.
Manchmal bin ich gern', so gern' schwach.
Oh,
Komm und geh' ein bißchen zu weit.
Komm, wir genießen alleinsein zu zweit.
Einfach den Launen des Zufalls zu folgen,
Heut' ist mir danach.
Manchmal bin ich gern' so gern' schwach.
(Komm und geh' ein bißchen zu weit)
Komm, wir genießen alleinsein zu zweit.
Einfach den Launen des Zufalls zu folgen,
Heut' ist mir danach.
Manchmal bin ich gern' so gern' schwach.
Oh, komm und geh' ein bißchen zu weit.
Komm, wir genießen alleinsein zu zweit.
Einfach den Launen des Zufalls zu folgen,
Heut' ist mir danach.
Deine Hände streicheln mich
Heut' nur noch im Traum.
Dein Foto neben meinem Bett
Scheint woanders hinzuschau'n.
Kein Kuss, damit ich schlafen kann,
Die Stunden schleppen sich nur mühsam weiter.
Keine Socken mehr verstreut,
Kein Zigarettenrauch.
Nur 'n paar alte Hemden
Von dir sind noch aufgetaucht.
Die Badewanne ist zu groß,
Nur für mich allein
Und ich denk', was mach ich bloß.
Doch mir fällt gar nichts ein... denn
Ich hab' mich so daran gewöhnt,
Daß du bei mir bist
Und ich vermiß dich.
Ich hab' mich so daran gewöhnt,
Daß es Liebe ist
Und ich vermiß dich.
Auch wenn's mir schwerfällt, ich geb' zu,
Du fehlst mir so sehr.
Fehlst mir immer mehr - glaub mir:
Ich hab mich so an dich gewöhnt,
Es war einfach schön.
Keiner mehr, mit dem sich noch
So richtig streiten läßt.
Keiner, der so anders ist,
So anders als der Rest.
Ich bemüh' mich stark zu sein,
Doch manchmal könnt' ich einfach bloß noch weinen.
Deine Stimme geistert noch
In meinem Kopf herum.
Immer nur das gleiche Wort:
Warum, warum, warum?
Seit du nicht mehr da bist,
Da wird mir erst richtig klar,
Daß die ganze Zeit mit dir
Vielleicht so schlecht nicht war... denn
Ich hab' mich so daran gewöhnt,
Daß du bei mir bist
Und ich vermiß dich.
Ich hab' mich so daran gewöhnt,
Daß es Liebe ist
Und ich vermiß dich.
Auch wenn's mir schwerfällt, ich geb' zu,
Du fehlst mir so sehr.
Fehlst mir immer mehr - glaub mir:
Ich hab mich so an dich gewöhnt,
Mußtest Du denn geh'n?
Mmh, du fehlst mir
Und ich vermiß dich
Auch wenn's mir schwerfällt, ich geb' zu
Du fehlst mir so sehr.
Fehlst mir immer mehr - glaub' mir:
Ich hab' mich so an dich gewöhnt,
Will dich wiederseh'n.
Ich hab' mich so daran gewöhnt,
Daß du bei mir bist
Und ich vermiß dich.
Ich hab' mich so daran gewöhnt,
Daß es halt so ist
Und ich vermiß dich.
Auch wenn's mir schwerfällt, ich geb' zu,
Du fehlst mir so sehr.
Fehlst mir immer mehr - weißt du:
Ich hab' mich so an dich gewöhnt,
Muß dich wiederseh'n.
Baby... da ruft manchmal jemand an
Und wenn ich dann dran geh'
legt er auf, einfach so.
Du kommst sehr spät heim.
Ich mach mir meinen Reim.
Irgendwas hält dich auf.
Na, was soll's.
Und wenn da wirklich 'ne Andere wär',
Das wär' längst noch kein Grund, daß ich gehe.
Ich bin ganz ehrlich,
wahrscheinlich tut's mir nicht mal weh.
Ich bin nicht eifersüchtig.
Das ist mir nicht so wichtig,
Das kann doch jedem mal passier'n.
Ich mach' dir keine Szenen,
Erpress' dich nicht mit Tränen
Und werd' nicht endlos diskutier'n,
Ich nehm's ganz easy und bleib immer cool,
Auch wenn du mir alles gestehst.
Ich bin nicht eifersüchtig.
Das siehst du nicht ganz richtig.
Ich bring dich um, wenn du gehst.
Ich hock' hier zu Haus,
schalt's TV ein und aus
und ich denk', ich red' mir
Bloß was ein.
Ich schau circa jede Minute zur Tür,
Na, wo kannst du bloß so spät noch sein?
Mir fall'n für dich
Immer dümmere Ausreden ein.
Ich bin nicht eifersüchtig.
Das ist mir nicht so wichtig,
Das kann doch jedem mal passier'n.
Ich mach' dir keine Szenen,
Erpress' dich nicht mit Tränen
Und werd' nicht endlos diskutier'n,
Ich nehm's ganz easy und bleib immer cool,
Auch wenn du mir alles gestehst.
Ich bin nicht eifersüchtig.
Das siehst du nicht ganz richtig.
Gnade dir Gott, wenn du gehst.
Ich sag's dir leise ins Ohr, wenn du kommst,
Damit du's auch richtig verstehst:
Oh, ich bin nicht eifersüchtig,
Das siehst du nicht ganz richtig.
Ich bring dich um, wenn du gehst.
Sie war plötzlich da, wie Schnee im August.
So unerwartet und so schrecklich neu.
Sie ging auf dich los, ganz frech und bewußt,
Obwohl sie spürte, wir war'n uns treu.
Was so wunderbar war, war gar nichts mehr wert.
Tausend Scherben, und ich mittendrin.
Ist das denn wirklich wahr,
Was da mit uns geschah?
Gib mich nicht auf,
So schnell über Nacht.
Gib mich nicht auf.
Ich hab' doch gedacht
Ein Leben lang
Nur Du und ich.
Gib mich nicht auf.
Laß mich nicht im Stich.
Ich kann vergessen und verzeih'n,
Laß es nur nicht zu Ende sein.
Gib mich nicht auf.
Ich hab' mich an dich
unheimlich gewöhnt.
Wenn du jetzt gehst,
Was bleibt dann für mich?
Das tolle Foto von uns
Schau ich nicht mehr an,
Mit deiner Handschrift
"Ich liebe Dich."
Wenn ich tanze, allein, dann stell' ich mir vor,
Jetzt geht die Tür auf und du kommst rein
Und du bist mir ganz nah -
So, wie's immer war.
Gib mich nicht auf,
So schnell über Nacht.
Gib mich nicht auf.
Ich hab' doch gedacht
Ein Leben lang
Nur Du und ich.
Gib mich nicht auf.
Laß mich nicht im Stich.
Ich kann vergessen und verzeih'n,
Laß es nur nicht zu Ende sein.
Gib mich nicht auf.
Wenn man sich irgendwo zu Hause fühlt,
Dann hält man vom Abschied gar nicht viel.
Denn wenn's mal wieder grad am schönsten ist,
Muß man geh'n, auch wenn man gar nicht will.
Und dann kannst du nichts dafür,
Hinter dir schließt die Tür.
Doch ein Teil bleibt für immer hier
(Auch wenn man Abschied nimmt -
Eines weiß ich ganz bestimmt).
Es gibt ein Wiederseh'n
Irgendwo und irgendwann.
Es gibt ein Wiederseh'n,
Ja ich glaube fest daran.
Irgendwie - irgendwo - irgendwann.
Wenn sich der Abend auch dem Ende neigt,
Die Erinn'rung bleibt noch lange wach
Und alle Lieder, die gesungen sind,
Klingen lang noch in der Seele nach.
Leider bleibt die Zeit nicht steh'n,
Menschen kommen, Menschen geh'n.
Diese Welt wird sich weiterdreh'n
(Doch was noch passiert -
Wohin der Weg auch führt)
Es gibt ein Wiederseh'n
Irgendwo und irgendwann.
Es gibt ein Wiederseh'n,
Ja ich glaube fest daran.
Irgendwie - irgendwo - irgendwann.
Man muß im Leben vorwärts geh'n,
Immer weiter, Stück für Stück,
Doch alle Wege, die man geht -
Sie führ'n dich auch zurück.
Wir haben uns kaputtgeliebt
Und dann blieb nur noch Streit.
Wir trennten uns mit Ach und Krach,
Ich wollt' nur fort und möglichst weit.
Heut' treff' ich dich und du stehst da,
Siehst unverschämt gut aus.
Wir schau'n uns beide lange an
und bringen beide kein Wort 'raus.
Und ich hab' so'n Gefühl,
Dir geht's genauso wie mir ... oh, yeah
Das ganze fängt von vorn an -
Wie du mir so ich dir ... okay.
Dann küss mich doch,
Auch wenn's mit uns mal schiefging -
Komm vergiß es doch.
Dann küss mich doch,
Trotz allem was passiert ist, ich vermiß dich noch.
Und ich hab' die ganze Zeit dran gedacht,
Jeden Tag und jede Nacht.
Dann küss mich doch,
Du hast mir total gefehlt.
Schau mich doch nicht so komisch an,
Erkennst du mich nicht mehr?
Der Himmel erst - die Hölle dann,
Das ist erst einen Monat her.
Zieh mich nicht mit den Augen aus,
Da hab' ich nichts davon.
Wenn's dir so geht, wie's mir grad geht,
Dann gibt's 'ne Kettenreaktion.
Wenn du noch näher kommst,
Dann weiß ich nicht was ich tu ... oh, yeah
Doch sehr wahrscheinlich mach' ich meine Augen zu ...
Und sag'
Dann küss mich doch
Auch wenn's mit uns mal schiefging -
Komm vergiß es doch.
Na, küss mich doch,
Trotz allem was passiert ist, ich vermiß dich noch.
Und ich hab' die ganze Zeit dran gedacht,
Jeden Tag und jede Nacht.
Dann küss mich doch,
Du hast mir total gefehlt.
Dann küss mich doch
Na und, dann küss mich doch
Und was einmal war, vergiß es doch.
Was du mir gibst, ich vermiß es noch,
Du hast mir total gefehlt.
Na, küss mich doch.
Alles schien, als ob es so sein muß
Überall verschloß 'ne Tür'n
Aber heute lenkt mich die Sehnsucht
In deine Arme
Und es ist, als hätte ich dich schon immer vermißt
Ich will versinken in dir
In deinen Augen so tief wie das Meer
Hab' doch nur mich zu verlier'n
Suche mein Glück und tauche immer weiter
Bis zum Grund
Und auf einmal öffnen sich Welten
Ungeahnter Poesie
Deine Art zu leben gefällt mir
Ich laß mich fallen
Denn ich weiß, was ich dann finde sind einfach nur wir
Ich will versinken in dir
In deinen Augen so tief wie das Meer
Hab' doch nur mich zu verlier'n
Suche mein Glück und tauche immer weiter
Bis zum Grund
Ich will versinken in dir
In deinen Augen so tief wie das Meer
Hab' doch nur mich zu verlier'n
Suche mein Glück und tauche immer weiter
Bis zum Grund
Ich will versinken in dir
Ich will versinken, versinken in dir
In deinen Augen so tief wie das Meer
Hab' doch nur mich zu verlier'n
Suche mein Glück und tauche immer weiter
Bis zum Grund
Bis zum Grund
Bis zum Grund
Hab' doch nur mich zu verlier'n
Suche mein Glück und tauche immer weiter
Bis zum Grund
Ich will versinken in dir
In deinen Augen so tief wie das Meer
Er hatt eine Vision
Vor langer Zeit
Er träumte von einer Welt
Ganz ohne Tränen und Leid
Und glaubte seine Vision
Wird Wirklichkeit
Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann einmal
Wird alles hier sich ändern
Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann beginnt
Dann eine neue Zeit
Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann einmal
Da wird das Blatt sich wenden
Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann vielleicht
Ist diese Welt soweit
Und als er irgendwann starb
Da sagte er
Es denken viele wie ich
Und es werden immer noch mehr
Er wusste dass die Vision
Ihn überlebt
Irgendwie irgendwo irgendwann einmal...
Und hätt' nicht irgendwer die Vision gehabt
Als es bei Krankheit noch keine Heilung gab
Und hätt' kein Mensch die Vision von Licht gehabt
Würde diese Welt noch im Dunkel leben
Du und ich im Abendrot auf einem Boot
Was für ein besonderer Tag
Der Wind kriecht in mein Haar und flüstert mir ins Ohr
Tu ganz einfach was ich dir sag'
Ich hör ihm zu und komm dir näher
Und seh wie meine Hand nach deiner greift
Du drehst dich um und ich berühr' dich und der Blitz schlägt ein
Du sagst bloß, das geht niemals gut
Ich bin keine Loreley
Du kannst mir vertrau'n
Du mußt mir nur einfach tief in die Augen schau'n
Loreley wollt nur zum Spaß
Jeden Mann betör'n - aber
Ich bin keine Loreley
Darauf kannst du schwör'n
Denn wär' ich wie Loreley
Hätt'st du keine Chance
Jeder der mich singen hörte
Fiel' sogleich in Trance
Dich rumzukriegen wär' für mich
Ein superleichtes Ding - aber
Ich bin keine Loreley
Ich bin wie ich bin
Du und ich im Morgenrot auf einem Boot
Was für 'ne besond're Nacht
Du spürst ganz genau wie ich - es ist wahr
Wir sind füreinander gemacht
Doch dein Blick scheint mich zu fragen
Bleiben wir auf Kurs im Strom der Zeit
Im allergrößten Sturm laß ich deine Hand nicht los
Und fällst du einmal doch ins Meer
Spring ich dir hinterher - denn
Ich bin keine Loreley
Du kannst mir vertrau'n
Du mußt mir nur einfach tief in die Augen schau'n
Loreley wollt nur zum Spaß
Jeden Mann betör'n - aber
Ich bin keine Loreley
Darauf kannst du schwör'n
Denn wär' ich wie Loreley
Hätt'st du keine Chance
Jeder der mich singen hörte
Fiel' sogleich in Trance
Dich rumzukriegen wär' für mich
Ein superleichtes Ding - aber
Ich bin keine Loreley
Ich bin wie ich bin
Ich bin keine Loreley
Du kannst mir vertrau'n
Du mußt mir nur einfach tief in die Augen schau'n
Loreley wollt nur zum Spaß
Jeden Mann betör'n - aber
Ich bin keine Loreley
Darauf kannst du schwör'n
Denn wär' ich wie Loreley
Hätt'st du keine Chance
Jeder der mich singen hörte
Fiel' sogleich in Trance
Dich rumzukriegen wär' für mich
Ein superleichtes Ding - aber
Ich bin keine Loreley
Ich bin wie ich bin
Langsam geh'n die Lichter aus
Und ich will noch nicht nach Haus
Und ein Freund fragt - gehen wir
Noch auf einen Drink zu mir
Und wir fahren durch die Stadt
Wo er seine Wohnung hat
Die ganz nah der Straße ist
Da, wo du zuhause bist
Und ich denke schon wieder an dich
Ich seh dich in allem, was ich seh
Und ich denke schon wieder an dich
Ohne dich zu sein tut noch so weh
Und ich denke schon wieder an dich
Unerreichbar fern und doch so nah
Oh, ich denke noch immer an dich
Weil ich doch so glücklich mit dir war
Schon ist Mitternacht vorbei
Und der Wein macht seltsam frei
Ich hab's oft mit dir erlebt
Das Gefühl als ob man schwebt
Doch ich schau in sein Gesicht
Und ich weiß ich lieb' ihn nicht
So viel erinnert mich daran
Daß ich dich nie vergessen kann
Und ich denke schon wieder an dich
Ich seh' dich in allem was ich seh
Und ich denke noch immer an dich
Ohne dich zu sein tut noch so weh
Und ich denke schon wieder an dich
Unerreichbar fern und doch so nah
Und ich denke noch immer an dich
weil ich doch so glücklich mit dir war
Und ich denke schon wieder an dich
Unerreichbar fern und doch so nah
Und ich denke noch immer an dich
Weil ich doch so glücklich mit dir war
Weißt du noch vor ein paar Jahr'n
der heiße Sommerabend
Unser Glück war jung und warm
als dann der Regen kam
Sommerregen wie tausend Tränen
einer anderen Welt
Sommerregen
lachend haben wir jeden Tropfen gezählt
Sommerregen ist für Verliebte
so wie perlender Wein
Wird es noch einmal so wie damals
wie im Sommerregen sein
Wie ein Kind im Abendwind
so steh' ich hier und warte
wohin ich schau' nur Neonlicht
ich suche dein Gesicht
Sommerregen wie tausend Tränen
einer anderen Welt
Sommerregen
lachend haben wir jeden Tropfen gezählt
Sommerregen ist für Verliebte
so wie perlender Wein
Wird es noch einmal so wie damals
wie im Sommerregen sein
Sommerregen ist für Verliebte
so wie perlender Wein
wird es noch einmal so wie damals
wie im Sommerregen sein
Sommerregen Sommerregen
Sommerregen Sommerregen
Weißt du, ich hab manchmal das Gefühl
Du machst es dir verdammt leicht.
Du sagst zwar, du liebst mich -
Aber ehrlich, tust du das?
Klar - du gehst oft mit mir aus
Und bist gern mit mir zusammen
Aber wenn's mal hart auf hart geht
... stehst du dann wirklich zu mir?
Halt mich fest
Wenn jeder sonst mich fallen läßt
Gib mir Mut
Und nimm mir meine Angst
Sei mein Mann
Sei anders als der ganze Rest
Und halt zu mir
Wenn du kannst
Steh wie ein Mann zu mir
Laß mich nie allein
Steh wie ein Mann zu mir
Und ich werd' alles für dich sein
Komm laß mich einfach spür'n
Du bist ganz genau der Mann
Auf den ich mich verlassen kann
Drum steh wie ein Mann zu mir
Und ich geb dir mein Herz dafür
Und wenn du gehst
Vergiß mich nie - geh nie zu weit
Wenn du kämpfst
Dann kämpfe neben mir
Und sag' mir niemals
Es tut dir so leid, du hast keine Zeit
Denn dann wirst du mich verlier'n
Steh wie ein Mann zu mir
Laß mich nie allein
Ja, steh wie ein Mann zu mir
Und ich werd' alles für dich sein
Ganz oder gar nicht
Reden läßt sich's wunderbar
Doch erst wenn's weh tut ist's auch wahr
Komm' schon
Steh wie ein Mann zu mir
Und ich geb' dir mein Herz dafür
Steh wie ein Mann zu mir
Oh laß mich spür'n, du bleibst bei mir
Was auch geschieht
Steh, steh wie ein Mann zu mir
Und du wirst seh'n ich steh zu dir
Sie war schon mit siebzehn Jahr'n
Ganz anders als die anderen war'n
Und sie kämpfte für ihre Träume
Denn die war'n meistens in Gefahr
Ich traf sie zum ersten Mal
Da demonstrierte sie allein
Gegen irgendwas wovon sie glaubte
Es könnt' für die Welt gefährlich sein
Und sie trug ihr Plakat durch den Regen
Doch alle haben sie nur ausgelacht
Ich ging zu ihr hin
Und da hat sie mir gesagt
Solang mein Herz noch schlägt
Mich mein Gefühl noch trägt
Solang werd' ich bis zum Schluß
Einfach tun was ich glaub daß ich tun muß
Solang mein Herz noch schlägt
Geh' ich auf meinem Weg
Einfach nur geradeaus
Und ich geb' niemals auf solang ich leb'
Solang mein Herz noch schlägt
Ich hab' sie dann irgendwann
So gut wie niemand sonst gekannt
Und sie lachte oft unter Tränen
Wenn ihr Gefühl im Regen stand
Sie liebte die Menschen so
Und eines Tages sagte sie
Hier in diesem Land braucht mich niemand
Und hier erfüllt mein Traum sich nie
Ich hab' sie niemals wieder gesehen
Irgendwo hat sich ihre Spur verlor'n
Ich denk oft an sie
Und ich habe mir geschwor'n
Solang mein Herz noch schlägt
Mich mein Gefühl noch trägt
Solang werd' ich bis zum Schluß
Einfach tun was ich glaub daß ich tun muß
Solang mein Herz noch schlägt
Geh' ich auf meinem Weg
Einfach nur geradeaus
Und ich geb' niemals auf solang ich leb'
Solang mein Herz noch schlägt
Langsam taucht die große Stadt in die Nacht
Und die Träume wachen auf
Nur ein kleines bißchen von dem Straßen-Lärm
dringt noch bis zu mir herauf
Schatten an der Wand
Sie verschwinden still im Raum
Und daß ich ganz allein bin ist kein Traum
Ich weiß, du bist jetzt bei ihr
Du umarmst sie und lachst
Ich weiß, sie weiß nichts von mir
Doch ich fühl', was du grad mit ihr machst
Und ich lieb dich
Ausgerechnet dich
Ziemlich aussichtslos für mich
Sag was findest du an ihr, sag es mir
Kann sie was, was ich nicht kann
Nur durch Zufall hab' ich sie einmal geseh'n
Ich fand nichts Besond'res dran
Ich hab' wirklich Angst
Sie zerstört es ganz und gar
Was mal zwischen uns so herrlich war
Ich weiß, du bist jetzt bei ihr
Du umarmst sie und lachst
Ich weiß, sie weiß nichts von mir
Doch ich fühl', was du grad mit ihr machst
Und ich lieb dich
Ausgerechnet dich
Ziemlich aussichtslos für mich
Ich weiß, du bist jetzt bei ihr
Du umarmst sie und lachst
Ich weiß, sie weiß nichts von mir
Doch ich fühl', was du grad mit ihr machst
Ich weiß, du bist jetzt bei ihr
Du umarmst sie und lachst
Ich weiß, sie weiß nichts von mir
Doch ich fühl', was du grad mit ihr machst
Manchmal wein' ich
Doch ich geb nicht auf
(Ich) geb' die Hoffnung niemals auf
Könnten Sterne Freunde sein
Freunde sein für alle Ewigkeit
Steigen auf und zieh'n vorbei
Irgendwo auf leisen Sohl'n
Und mitten in der Nacht
Bin ich aus meinem Traum erwacht
Und warte aus Sehnsucht
Auf ein Wiederseh'n mit dir
Grenzenlos
Ohne Raum und Zeit
Such' ich dich in der Dunkelheit
Komm mit mir
Halte dich bereit
Das Land der Träume ist nicht weit
Könnten Sterne Freunde sein
Freunde sein für alle Ewigkeit
Ließ ich sie zu mir herein,
Denn du läßt mich so allein.
Nur du bist Schuld daran,
Daß ich wieder mal nicht schlafen kann
Ich warte
voll Sehnsucht
Auf ein Wiederseh'n mit dir.
Grenzenlos
Ohne Raum und Zeit
Such' ich dich in der Dunkelheit
Komm mit mir
Halte dich bereit
Das Land der Träume ist nicht weit
Er ruft an
Du bist eifersüchtig
Ich sag ab
Nur du bist mir wichtig
Ich bin zu oft allein
Bleib heut' hier
Denn ich will dir doch treu sein
Gelegenheit macht Liebe
Du weißt, daß ich nicht lüge
Wenn du jetzt nicht verstehst
Wenn du morgen wieder gehst
Dann weiß ich nicht mehr was ich tu
Gelegenheit macht Liebe
Bevor ich dich betrüge
Halt mich fest und halt mich warm
Halt mich still in deinem Arm
Und hör' mir endlich wieder zu
Du hörst weg
Wenn ich dich was frage
Er hört zu
Wenn ich ihm was sage
Laß mich heut' nicht allein
Bleib bei mir
Denn ich will dir doch treu sein
Gelegenheit macht Liebe
Du weißt, daß ich nicht lüge
Wenn du jetzt nicht verstehst
Wenn du morgen wieder gehst
Dann weiß ich nicht mehr was ich tu
Gelegenheit macht Liebe
Bevor ich dich betrüge
Halt mich fest und halt mich warm
Halt mich still in deinem Arm
Und hör' mir endlich wieder zu
Es gab mal eine Zeit
Da warst du voller Zärtlichkeit
Das ist lange her, so lange her
Läßt du mich heut' allein
Dann wird er bei mir sein
Gelegenheit macht Liebe
Du weißt, daß ich nicht lüge
Wenn du jetzt nicht verstehst
Wenn du morgen wieder gehst
Dann weiß ich nicht mehr was ich tu
Gelegenheit macht Liebe
Bevor ich dich betrüge
Halt mich fest und halt mich warm
Halt mich still in deinem Arm
Und hör' mir endlich wieder zu
Ein Wirbelsturm verwüstet mir mein Herz
Macht mir Angst ich könnte dich verlier'n
Was ist wenn du heut' von mir gehst
Was ist wenn ich dich morgen nicht mehr spür'?
Was ich für dich fühle ist so tief
Ich hab' noch nie im Leben so geliebt
Du bist für mich der letzte Halt
Alles was das Schicksal mir versprach
Alles was ich hab'
Du bist der Mann
Für mich der Mann
Der mir alles geben kann
Du läßt mich sein
Kannst auch verzeih'n
Du allein
Auf rauher See bist du für mich die Insel
An der ich schon so oft gestrandet bin
Und treiben mich die Wellen fort
Ziehst du mich immer wieder zur dir hin
Mag sein wir müssen Berge überwinden
Vielleicht ist unser Weg nicht immer leicht
Doch glaub mir ganz egal was kommt
Ich werd' ein Leben lang nur für dich sein
Laß mich nicht allein
Du bist der Mann
Für mich der Mann
Der mir alles geben kann
Du läßt mich sein
Kannst auch verzeih'n
Du allein
Hundert Jahre alte Eichen
mußten einer Straße weichen.
Wo einst eine Lerche sang
Hektik und Motorenklang.
Menschen voller Streß und Sorgen
Angst vor jedem neuen Morgen
und die Kälte macht sich breit
in der neuen Wirklichkeit.
Ein leises Lied
in einer lauten Zeit.
Ein leises Lied für Dich
für alle will ich singen.
Ein leises Lied
es macht die Herzen weit
doch ich hab' Angst
es könnt unerhört verklingen.
Komm
sing' mit mir
vielleicht brauchst du auch heut'
ein leises Lied in einer lauten Zeit.
Großstadtlärm und Neonlichter
fallen grell auf die Gesichter
kaum ein Blick zum Sternenzelt
hier in der Computerwelt.
Ein leises Lied ...
Komm
sing' mit mir
vielleicht brauchst du auch heut'
Manche Nacht stehe ich am Fenster
und ich träum' mit off'nen Augen
Und ich seh' die Sterne funkeln
und genieße ihren Glanz
Und ich spür' daß ich dich brauche
um so vieles zu erleben
Steig' ins Raumschiff meiner Träume
dann beginnt ein schöner Tanz
Und wir fliegen zu den Sternen
nur wir beide ganz allein
Und je mehr wir uns entfernen
umso näher werd' ich dir sein
Und wir fliegen zu den Sternen
wie die Vögel hoch hinauf
Losgelöst von dieser Erde
und der Himmel fängt uns auf
Und die Lichter kommen näher
ich versuch' sie schon zu greifen
Doch die Hand faßt nur ins Leere
unser Weg ist noch so weit
Und ich hoff' noch lang zu träumen
es wär' schad' jetzt zu erwachen
Denn das Ziel rückt immer näher
fehlt nur noch ein bißchen Zeit
Und wir fliegen zu den Sternen
nur wir beide ganz allein
Und je mehr wir uns entfernen
umso näher werd' ich dir sein
Und wir fliegen zu den Sternen
wie die Vögel hoch hinauf
Losgelöst von dieser Erde
und der Himmel fängt uns auf
Komm' mit hinauf
dort sind wir frei
Komm' mit ins All
ja da sind wir frei
Und wir fliegen zu den Sternen
wie die Vögel hoch hinauf
Losgelöst von dieser Erde
und der Himmel fängt uns auf
Komm' mit hinauf
dort sind wir frei
Komm' mit ins All
ja da sind wir frei
Und wir fliegen zu den Sternen
nur wir beide ganz allein
Und je mehr wir uns entfernen
umso näher werd' ich dir sein
Ich spür' die Sonne und den Regen
ich pflück' den Apfel dort vom Baum
Ich hör' das Lachen eines Kindes
kenn' jedes Bild aus meinem Traum
Ich spür' die Nähe meines Glückes
und fühl' mich wohl in deinem Arm
Doch an so manchen Tagen
hätt' ich noch viele Fragen
weil ich die Antwort nie bekam
Wer malt den Regenbogen an
wer macht den Windstoß zum Orkan
wer gibt mir Kraft dich so zu lieben
dich so zu lieben all die Zeit
als gäb's nur noch Unendlichkeit
auf diesem Weg mit dir zu zweit
Um mich herum geschieht so vieles
ich kann es immer wieder seh'n
Doch manches Ungeklärte
sogar das Altbewährte
läßt viele Fragen offen steh'n
Wer malt den Regenbogen an
wer macht den Windstoß zum Orkan
wer gibt mir Kraft dich so zu lieben
dich so zu lieben all die Zeit
als gäb's nur noch Unendlichkeit
auf diesem Weg mit dir zu zweit
Wenn uns're Liebe einmal stirbt
was tu' ich dann
Wer ist dann da
der mir die Antwort drauf noch geben kann
Wer malt den Regenbogen an
wer macht den Windstoß zum Orkan
wer gibt mir Kraft dich so zu lieben
dich so zu lieben all die Zeit
als gäb's nur noch Unendlichkeit
auf diesem Weg mit dir zu zweit
Dich so zu lieben all die Zeit
als gäb's nur noch Unendlichkeit
auf diesem Weg mit dir zu zweit
Du gibst jedesmal dein Wort
Ich geh niemals nie mehr von dir fort
Und ich glaub dir, wenn du vor mir stehst.
Doch ich spür' die Angst in mir
Daß ich dich nochmal verlier'
Irgendwann sagst du mir daß du gehst
Und dann steh' ich wieder da
Wo ich schon vor Jahren war
Doch heute bin ich nicht mehr Kind
Wenn du gehst stürzt nicht der Himmel ein
Ich schaff' das schon allein
Und ich werd' es übersteh'n
Wenn du glaubst es geht auch ohne mich
Dann geht's auch ohne dich
Mein Leben wird weitergeh'n.
Du sagst, du hast mich vermißt
Doch ich glaub die Wahrheit ist
Zum Alleinsein fehlt dir noch die Kraft
Willst du wieder mit mir geh'n
Mußt du erst einmal versteh'n
Liebe ist doch mehr als Leidenschaft
Wenn ich dich nicht halten kann
Fang' ich nicht zu weinen an
Dazu bin ich heute viel zu stolz
Wenn du gehst stürzt nicht der Himmel ein
Ich schaff' das schon allein
Und ich werd' es übersteh'n
Wenn du glaubst es geht auch ohne mich
Dann geht's auch ohne dich
Mein Leben wird weitergeh'n.
Wo sind die Blumen
sorglose Kinder pflückten sie
Wo sind die Blumen
Straßen und Häuser erdrückten sie
Wo sind die Blumen
wer nahm dem Sommer die Farbenpracht
Blumen sind hilflos und stumm
niemand gibt acht
Wenn die Blumen weinen könnten
weinen so wie ich
Dann hätten all die bunten Blumen
Tränen im Gesicht
Wenn die Blumen reden könnten
sie würden Hilfe schrei'n
wie wird die Erde ohne Blumen sein
Wo sind die Wälder
in all den Jahren schwiegen sie
Wo sind die Wälder
achtlose Menschen besiegten sie
Wo sind die Wälder
wer hat der Hoffnung das Grün zerstört
Wälder sie sterben ganz still
weil niemand sie hört
Wenn die Wälder weinen könnten
weinen so wie ich
Dann hätten all die stolzen Bäume
Tränen im Gesicht
Wenn die Wälder reden könnten
sie würden Hilfe schrei'n
wie wird die Erde ohne Wälder sein
Und uns're Liebe wie wird sie morgen sein
wenn wir das Schweigen nicht versteh'n
Manchmal da fühl' ich mich grenzenlos allein
und denk' mir wie soll's weitergeh'n
Wenn ich manchmal weinen könnte
nur daß du verstehst
daß du so viele meiner Sorgen
einfach übersiehst
Wenn wir alle sagen könnten
was uns wichtig scheint
dann wird die Welt nie ohne Liebe sein
Du hast mich gar nicht angemacht
Das war auch gar nicht nötig
Du hast mir nur'n Glas Wein gebracht
Und ich stand unter Strom
Soviel Leute um uns rum
Und dein Blick haut mich voll um
Schade um uns zwei
Echt schade
Denn mit uns hätt's was
Werden können
Schade um uns zwei
So schade
Denn die Luft fing grad an
Zu brennen
Dann ging was schief
Bevor was lief
War es schon vorbei
Schade um uns zwei
Weiss nicht wie ich's beschreiben soll
Doch irgendwie war's Wahnsinn
Wir quatschten uns die Herzen voll
Und tanzten durch die Nacht
Alles andre zählte nicht
Denn es gab nur dich und mich
Schade um uns zwei
Echt schade
Denn mit uns hätt's was
Werden können
Schade um uns zwei
So schade
Denn die Luft fing grad an
Zu brennen
Dann ging was schief
Bevor was lief
War es schon vorbei
Schade um uns zwei
Kann nicht sagen wie's dazu kam
Hatten Angst vor zu viel Gefühlen
Fielen uns noch mal in den Arm
Und dann sagten wir leise:
Mach's gut
Schade um uns zwei
Echt schade
Denn mit uns hätt's was
Werden können
Schade um uns zwei
So schade
Denn die Luft fing grad an
Zu brennen
Dann ging was schief
Bevor was lief
War es schon vorbei
Schade um uns zwei
Vielleicht seh'n wir
Uns ja noch mal
Auf jeden Fall:
Schade um uns zwei
Wie kann ich dich halten
für Wochen für Jahre für immer
Schon heut' hab' ich Angst
irgendwann was falsches zu tun
Du führst mich so zärtlich
im Garten der Liebe spazieren
Und du läßt mich verrückt sein
und du läßt mich auch neben dir ruh'n
Je mehr ich dich liebe
umso mehr möcht' ich nur noch bei dir sein
Das ich und das du
heißt schon lange
ganz einfach nur wir
Doch wenn ich dann manchmal
allein einen Abend verträume
dann kämpf' ich mit den Tränen
und eine Stimme sagt dann in mir
Weinen macht frei was ist dabei
laß doch den Tränen ihren Lauf
Bald wirst du seh'n es wird weitergeh'n
denn die Welt und das Leben sind viel zu schön
Was ist dabei weinen macht frei
Ein Mädchen denkt anders
und kann oft Gefühle nicht zeigen
Ein Mädchen ist oft
viel zerbrechlicher als es scheint
Drum sprich über alles mit mir
hüll' dich niemals in Schweigen
viel zu schnell wird nach außen gelacht
und im Innern geweint
Weinen macht frei was ist dabei
laß doch den Tränen ihren Lauf
Bald wirst du seh'n es wird weitergeh'n
denn die Welt und das Leben sind viel zu schön
Hilf mir durch die Nacht
sie fängt immer dann sofort an
wenn du wieder geh'n mußt egal wohin
und ich nicht mit dir gehen kann
Weinen macht frei was ist dabei
laß doch den Tränen ihren Lauf
Bald wirst du seh'n es wird weitergeh'n
denn die Welt und das Leben
sind viel zu schön
Weinen macht frei was ist dabei
laß doch den Tränen ihren Lauf
Bald wirst du seh'n es wird weitergeh'n
denn die Welt und das Leben
sind viel zu schön
Hast du nicht gemerkt daß ich kein Kind mehr bin
dem du sagen kannst was gut und richtig ist
All die großen Reden haben keinen Sinn
weil für mich der Mann dahinter wichtig ist
Siehst du die Zeichen nicht
Worte die reichen nicht
daß ich dir vertrau' ganz vertrau'
Hast du nicht gespürt daß ich oft einsam bin
weil ich mich von dir nicht mehr verstanden fühl'
Siehst du nicht daß langsam uns're Zeit verrinnt
und das Feuer zwischen uns ist abgekühlt
Siehst du die Zeichen nicht
Träume die reichen nicht für die Ewigkeit
Was muß noch geschehen
daß du dich besinnst
und dein Leben hier mit mir nochmal von vorn beginnst
Muß ich denn erst gehen
daß du endlich weißt
so wie du mich gern haben willst bin ich um keinen Preis
Hast du nicht gemerkt daß ich nur selten lach'
weil ich über vieles nicht mehr lachen kann
Früher hab' ich alles gerne mitgemacht
doch ich glaub' da warst du noch ein and'rer Mann
Siehst du die Zeichen nicht
Worte die reichen nicht
daß ich dir vertrau' nochmal vertrau'
Hast du nicht gefühlt ich bin schon beinah fort
in Gedanken hab' ich schon mein Zeug gepackt
Unser Schiff versinkt und ich geh' bald von Bord
ich hab' uns'rer Liebe schon adieu gesagt
Siehst du die Zeichen nicht
Träume die reichen nicht für die Ewigkeit
Was muß noch geschehen
daß du dich besinnst
und dein Leben hier mit mir nochmal von vorn beginnst
Muß ich denn erst gehen
daß du endlich weißt
so wie du mich gern haben willst bin ich um keinen Preis
Was muß noch geschehen
daß du endlich weißt
ich bin nicht so wie es dir gefällt
um keinen Preis der Welt
Jetzt bist du ehrlich und sprichst von Liebe
jetzt wo's zu spät ist läßt du die Lügen
damals hab' ich so gehofft darauf
Jetzt hast du Tränen in deinen Augen
jetzt wo's egal ist soll ich dir glauben
du hast uns're Liebe längst verkauft
Was ich dir noch sagen wollte
ich hab' längst Bescheid gewußt
und ich blieb doch bei dir
ich hab' dich viel zu sehr geliebt
Was ich dir noch sagen wollte
es tat mir sehr weh zu geh'n
doch ich hab' für uns beide keine Zukunft mehr geseh'n
Als wir uns trennten fandest du's richtig
nur dieses Mädchen war dir noch wichtig
da zerbrach in mir der letzte Halt
Wie es dir heut' geht will ich nicht wissen
und deine Briefe hab' ich zerrissen
meine Hände sind nicht mehr geballt
Doch was ich dir noch sagen wollte
ich hätt' dir so gern verzieh'n
Frag' mich bloß nicht warum
ich hab' dich viel zu sehr geliebt
Was ich dir noch sagen wollte
es tat mir sehr weh zu geh'n
doch ich hab' für uns beide keine Zukunft mehr geseh'n
Damals da ging's mir so schlecht
jedes Wort schien zuviel
So wie du dich heut' fühlst
so hab' ich mich damals gefühlt
Was ich dir noch sagen wollte
das ist heut' bedeutungslos
Damals sagte ich nichts
ich hab' dich viel zu sehr geliebt
Was ich dir noch sagen wollte
es tat mir sehr weh zu geh'n
doch ich hab' für uns beide keine Zukunft mehr geseh'n
Hättest du mir doch damals nur gesagt
ich hab' dich lieb
Sie sind jung und dynamisch, und einfallslos
Gut verkleidet in Anzug und sitzen meistens gelangweilt in Bank-Büros
Und verkaufen dir Anlagetipps
Sie sind durchschnittlich gut, durchschnittlich schlau
Wissen wahnsinnig wenig - doch ganz genau
Dass die Welt sich noch dreht
Und die Zeit vergeht
Aber wenn dann Feierabend wird
Ist's wie bei Jekyll und Hyde
Sie lassen endlich die Sau mal raus
Und sind zu allem bereit
Ramba Zamba Samba
Einmal auffallen
Ramba Zamba Samba
Richtig durchknallen
Ramba Zamba Samba
Und feiern solang es noch geht
Denn vielleicht is es morgen zu spät
Ramba Zamba Samba
Das muss abgehen
Ramba Zamba Samba
Völlig abdreh'n
Ramba Zamba Samba
Heut nacht da ist alles egal
Morgen sind wir dann wieder normal
Mann was sind wir total ausgeflippt
Und auch noch gleichzeitig unheimlich cool
Mann was sind wir total geil und hip
Hey everybody is somebody's fool
Sie sind überall gnadenlos Mittelmass
Aber Gott sei Dank wissen sie's nicht
Und vom leben erwarten sie ganz viel Spass -
Wann ist endlich Büroschluss in Sicht
Denn dann geht wieder die Party an
Wie wo warum wer und was
Jeder darf das tun was er nicht kann
Und jeder gibt richtig Gas
Ramba Zamba Samba
Einmal auffallen
Ramba Zamba Samba
Richtig durchknallen
Ramba Zamba Samba
Und feiern solang es noch geht
Denn vielleicht is es morgen zu spät
Ramba Zamba Samba
Das muss abgehen
Ramba Zamba Samba
Völlig abdreh'n
Ramba Zamba Samba
Heut nacht da ist alles egal
Morgen sind wir dann wieder normal
Ramba Zamba Samba
Einmal auffallen
Ramba Zamba Samba
Richtig durchknallen
Ramba Zamba Samba
Und feiern solang es noch geht
Denn vielleicht is es morgen zu spät
Ramba Zamba Samba
Das muss abgehen
Ramba Zamba Samba
Völlig abdreh'n
Ramba Zamba Samba
Heut nacht da ist alles egal
Morgen sind wir dann wieder normal
Tja heute da flippen wir aus total
Und morgen sind wir dann wieder normal
Manchmal wenn ich Kinder seh'
so zart und klein dann bleib' ich steh'n
ich red' mit ihnen lach' sie an
frag' mich ob sie mich wohl versteh'n
Ich wüßte gern was Kinder denken
was schließt sich in den Köpfchen ein
Ob sie schon wissen was es heißt
auf dieser Welt gebor'n zu sein
Kinderaugen seh'n die Welt nicht wie sie ist
Sie seh'n noch nicht
daß man oft Geld mit Freundschaft mißt
Wir fühl'n uns stark und sehen nicht
wie Kinder uns belehr'n
es wär' so schön wenn wir für immer Kinder wär'n
Wenn Kinderhände sich berühr'n
sind die Gedanken immer gut
Ein Händedruck jedoch sagt nichts
von dem was in den Herzen ruht
Kinder können nicht entscheiden
über Unrecht und Recht
Sie können nicht bewußt verletzen
nicht wissen was gut ist und was schlecht
Kinderaugen seh'n die Welt nicht so wie wir
rosa Wolken sind die Schatten über dir und mir
Kinder schau'n dich an mit einem Blick
so unschuldig und rein
Mit einem Mal merkst du
du kannst kein Kind mehr sein
Doch trotzdem bleibt mein Wunsch für alle Zeit besteh'n
könnt' ich nur durch diese Kinderaugen seh'n
Ich möcht die Welt nochmal mit Kinderaugen seh'n
[Featuring Dent Lil' Mo]
[Nicole]
C'mon make it hot
Ooh ooh (x2)
Let me know let me know
What you want what you want
[Nicole Verse One]
The curiosity baby it's killing me
Cause I can tell that you're interested I
Can sense that you're feeling me
Your actions mean more to me than
Words you are too shy to say
To my friends behind your back baby
Won't you say it to my face
[Chorus]
If you wanna be with me
And you got a thing for me
Don't you walk away from me
Don't you be afraid of me
If you wanna roll with me
C'mon and roll with me
[Nicole - Verse Two]
Intensity, made me sweat a brother majorly, I
Was sure it was you, you that was paging me
All the seven days of the week
But you got a case of butterflies, baby
I wonder why
Heard you say, "I'm so fly" (I'm so fly)
Let's hook up on later tonight
[Repeat CHORUS]
[Nicole]
If you really want me baby
Let me know
Let me know, what you want
What you looking for baby, out the door
Gotta go, gotta go
[Lil' Mo - Rap]
Yo I heard from a bird that you liked it hot
Could we meet at the spot
In the parking lot
I got my mama's car so don't go slow
It's 11:22, and at 12, I ghost, yo
[Dent - Rap]
Yo, slow it down lover, bout a half an ounce
I got 38 minutes just to make you bounce
So lets take a ride
You and I
Dont you let me pass you by
Here we go
Let em know
You dont even gotta watch
[Lil' Mo - Rap]
So whatcha say yo, you got the joes for me
Caught a glimpse of my Benz, now you roll with me
You wanna lay up in my ride, and get fly with me
In the drivers seat
You wanna shine with me
[Dent - Rap]
Damn right, I wanna shine, if I can shine with you
And you say you're getting yours, I gotta get mine too (uh huh)
It sounds good coming from a lady looking like you (say what, playa)
It's just the things we do
[Nicole]
Wanna thing
Gotta thing
Don't you walk away
Don't you walk away
No no no no no
If you wanna roll, c'mon and roll with me
Baby baby yea
[Repeat CHORUS til fade]
