Odessa (Russian: Одесса, pronounced [ɐˈdʲesːə]) or Odesa (Ukrainian: Одеса, pronounced [ɔˈdɛsɑ]) is the third largest city in Ukraine, with a population of 1,003,705. The city is a major seaport located on the northwest shore of the Black Sea and the administrative center of the Odessa Oblast.
The predecessor of Odessa, a small Tatar settlement, was founded by Hacı I Giray, the Khan of Crimea, in 1240 and originally named after him as "Hacıbey"[citation needed]. After a period of Lithuanian control, it passed into the domain of the Ottoman Sultan in 1529 and remained in Ottoman hands until the Ottoman Empire's defeat in the Russo-Turkish War of 1792. The city of Odessa was founded by a decree of the Empress Catherine the Great in 1794. From 1819 to 1858 Odessa was a free port. During the Soviet period it was the most important port of trade in the Soviet Union and a Soviet naval base. On 1 January 2000 the Quarantine Pier of Odessa trade sea port was declared a free port and free economic zone for a term of 25 years.
The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s.
The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.
Born in the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived their first few years in Chorlton, Manchester, England, then moved in the late 1950s to Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia, where they began their musical careers. After achieving their first chart success in Australia with "Spicks and Specks" (their 12th single), they returned to the United Kingdom in January 1967 where producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience.

Plot
In 1964, a brash new pro boxer, fresh from his olympic gold medal victory, explodes on to the scene, Cassius Clay. Bold and outspoken, he cuts an entirely new image for African Americans in sport with his proud public self confidence with his unapologetic belief that he is the greatest boxer of all time. To his credit, he sets out to prove that with his highly agile and forceful style soon making him a formidable boxer who soon claims the heavyweight championship. His personal life is no less noteworthy with his allegiance to the Nation of Islam, his friendship with the controversial Malcolm X and his abandonment of his slave name in favour of Muhammad Ali stirring up controversy. Yet, at the top of his game, both Ali's personal and professional lives face the ultimate test with the military draft rules are changed, making him eligible for military induction during the Vietnam War. Despite the fact that he could easily agree to a sweetheart deal that would have meant an easy tour of duty for himself, Ali refuses to submit on principle to cooperate in an unjust war for a racist nation that treated his people so poorly. The cost of that stand is high as he finds himself unable to legally box in his own country while his case is contested in court. What follows is a battle for a man who would sacrifice so much for what he believes in and a comeback that would cement his legend as one of the great sports figures of all time.

Move your hands
If move them you must at a steady pace
Ever so lightly
Wander off accordingly
Leave not a single trace
Close your eyes
If close them you must momentarily
Only for me now open wide
And let them reside in the awakening of life
Patiently hauling the weight of our infancy
I remember every sound
Every single heartbreaking sound
Heavenly memories cut like a knife
Carving it's way through the remains of us
Lately it seems everything that we touch
Gradually turns to the softest of dust
We have revalued the worst parts in us
We have betrayed the delusion of trust
Lately it seems everything that we touch
Gradually turns into piles of dust
Sweet soft dust
But everything that you took from me
Was mine to give
And everything that you thought you gave
Fourteenth of February , eighteen ninety nine.
The British ship Veronica was lost without a sign.
Baa baa black sheep, you haven't any wool.
Captain Richardson left himself a lonely wife in Hull.
Cherub, I lost a ship in the Baltic sea.
I'm on an iceberg running free.
Sitting, filing this berg to the shape of a ship;
Sailing my way back to your lips.
One passing ship gave word that you have moved out of your old flat.
You love the Vicar more then words can say.
Tell him to pray that I won't melt away.
And I'll see your face again .
Odessa, How strong am I?
Odessa , How time goes by.
Treasure , you know the neighbours that live next door.
They haven't got their dog anymore.
Freezing, sailing around in the North Atlantic.
Can't seem to leave the sea anymore.
I just can't understand why you just moved to Finland.
You love that Vicar more then words can say.
Ask him to pray that I won't melt away.
And I'll see your face again.
Odessa, How strong am I?
Odessa, How time goes by.
Fourteenth of February , eighteen ninety nine.
The British ship Veronica was lost without a sign.
Taking it slow, saving up she
Before she know it, all I ask before she goes home
She’s tired of crying, and sick of his lies
She’s suffered him for far too many years of her life
Feeling low, and scared that he’ll say
Do you know how overtime you drove her away
Saving up to, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up for everything that she
chose
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she’s gonna say
Saving up for, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up for everything that she
chose
Taking the kids, driving away
Turn around the life she let him siphon away
And I’ve been with you, for all of these years
Tell you what I’ve got to show for all of my tears
The times you hurt me, and treated me wrong
Something had to give to stop this thing from going on
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she’s gonna say
She’s tired of crying, and sick of his lies
She’s suffered him for far too many years of her life
Feeling low, and scared that he’ll say
Ten years is a long time
Ten years is the blink of an eye
Three chords and a million miles
With a dream that just won't die
I remember the oil rigs churnin'
Saw the world from a back porch swing
By the light of the gas fires burnin'
Daddy'd say, "You oughtta hear my little girl sing"
Odessa
Underneath the Texas sky
Odessa
Do you hear me when I cry?
Playin' to the radio hour by hour
Guitar too big and hands too small
Spent a whole summer pickin' "Wildwood Flower"
Mother Maybelle, she was ten feet tall
Kids in school used to whisper out loud
"Do you see that girl over there?
Poor little fool's got her head in the clouds
Yeah, she thinks she's goin' somewhere"
I don't care about fame and fortune
Camera in your face and a dollar in the bank
I want to go runnin' through the fields
Drinkin' hot water from a railway tank
Hotel rooms and smoke-filled bars
No, this ain't no back porch swing
I want to go home but I've come too far
I couldn't blur it all out if I had a thousand years.
I'd need a hundred more to make it disappear.
If I had to do it all over again, there's no way I would.
Everyone would go missing.
End me in the Black Sea, scatter my ashes in the East.
End me in the Black Sea, Odessa, oh Odessa.
End me in the Black Sea, scatter my ashes in the East.
End me in the Black Sea, Odessa, oh Odessa.
You can stare at a car crash, but it'll stare right back.
The violent labours of love in the back of a Cadillac.
You wanna know your fortune, no matter what the cost.
You're at the bottom of the world.
End me in the Black Sea, scatter my ashes in the East.
End me in the Black Sea, Odessa, oh Odessa.
End me in the Black Sea, scatter my ashes in the East.
End me in the Black Sea, Odessa, oh Odessa.
I'm a tourist.
I'm a wreck.
I'm a vomit-green transparency lighting up a cigarette.
I'm a sycophant.
I'm a small time crook.
I'm a hail of bullets.
I'm a name crossed out in your history book.
End me in the Black Sea, scatter my ashes in the East.
End me in the Black Sea, Odessa, oh Odessa.
End me in the Black Sea, scatter my ashes in the East.
IT IS BUT A DATED FLOWER I BRING TO YOU
IT IS BUT A VIOLET GLISTENING WITH DEW
FOR IN OUR HEARTS OUR LOVE FOR YOU LIES UNREVEALED
A STALE ROMANCE AND THE SOLITUDE WE SHARE
HAVE DRAGGED YOU TO THE BEACH TO FIND ME THERE
EVERY PROMISE UNDONE GLITTERING IN THE SUN
IN THE GOLDEN SWAY OF VIOLENCE
THAT MORNING YOU CAME AND YOU STOOD IN DISBELIEF
IN LONGING AND SHAME - THE PRESENTIMENT OF GRIEF
TO FORGIVE AND TO DEFINE THIS TREACHERY OF MINE
YOU TOOK OFF YOUR CLOTHES IN SILENCE
THIS SWEET BLUE SECRECY, THE DEMANDS OF DESTINY
NOW WHO WILL SERVE YOUR PLEASURE, WHO WILL SERVE YOUR
GREED?
NOW THAT THE MEN YOU TREASURED BELONG TO THE FLEET
AND WATCH THE MORROW’S TIDE, THAT FRAIL AND BEAUTIFUL
BRIDE
WHAT A VERY STRANGE SEASON THIS IS
FROM THE TENDER AX OF SPRINGTIME, DEFYING THE SNOWS
TO THE STREAMING SUMMER’S HATCHET SHE ROSE
NOW ALL COVERED WITH LIME UNDER AN INDIFFERENT SKY
WE SMOTHER EVERYTHING IN KISSES
WILL WE KNOW ETERNITY? WILL WE FORGE A WAY TO SEE?
WHO WILL SERVE YOUR PLEASURE, WHO WILL SERVE YOUR
GREED?
NOW THAT THE MEN YOU TREASURED BELONG TO THE FLEET
AND WATCH THE MORROW’S TIDE, THAT FRAIL AND BEAUTIFUL
BRIDE
WHAT A VERY STRANGE SEASON THIS IS
FROM THE TENDER AX OF SPRINGTIME, DEFYING THE SNOWS
TO THE STREAMING SUMMER’S HATCHET SHE ROSE
NOW ALL COVERED WITH LIME UNDER AN INDIFFERENT SKY
WE SMOTHER EVERYTHING IN KISSES

Shh...
[Aesop Rock (Dose One):]
(Well or, and this is, New York City)
Where the shiftiest sources leak out the back door
For more and this is New York City
(Oh, I see these hear walk
I, simply a shade of shepherd
Seems we share fate, honestly)
Oh, now wait a minute
I notice there making mockeries of mad men
Tend not to bend in the honesty
My twenty thousand leagues ending grants sardonic, the
sea
(The view from this here segue crowds a listeners
nothing special simply
Listeners, how we dissolve it's spores and I'll tell
you not flying)
And I live beneath the scenic yeah, where the fossils
pledged allegiance
Where the centipedes and serpents bigot on territorial
disagreements,
The uprooted turned booty and hacked pleasure to skinny
ribbons and I'll
Suckle my skull caught beneath assumptions pumping
pistons
(Left the joke to wick, it,
He walks whose out now, we, Aesop walls up)
We tune out the pouts of hiding,
Twilight street merchants, we, deity freely and been
here before...
[Dose One (Aesop Rock):]
Murder, of holy, in cushion
Partisan, part of the ceiling seems to be leaking, oh,
oh, it's the wall
Forbid box been broken, from man of everywhere, that's
what I sleep, I love you
It's not easy tying knots, whose paycheck may get
rained
Outstanding I shall smudge, invest, it's dull here,
since we need I go beyond
Grey, lonely, this forest is very very different,
Friend hail things like magnets all the way meant was
(It only takes one slacker)
Traveling up, it only takes one slacker
[Aesop Rock:]
It only takes one slacker, to attack a lack, gritty and
complies with time
With regulations poachers poaching just to jump the
batteries
I'm juiced, noosed father, no dissed deduce
By the ambiance of motives and the modus operandi's
I'm supportive, sort of here to modify those monsters
Tried to side wind pleasure captains round my hip line,
My sit times on some here I lay my bricks alone to
build these walls among
Us dreams can spread our spores but can I run with the
alumnus fungus
After date rape, and it germs, and I burn for less
fortunate starlight
Chasers forced to use there last match to ward off the
glaciers
Pack a day profess cloud spitter literate pencifist
missed the pissed drunk of concert
Dull and system missed the funk I'm in a lull
[Dose One: Overlaps Aesop Rock's lines]
I'm thinking of a number from one to red, is a
beautiful color
To shade paper hat ink, I'm thinking of a beautiful
color...
Paper hat
[Aesop Rock:]
I'm thinking of a number
From one to home, one riduiculous tennament with no
wings to spread
I'm home again inside my box of cardboard daze, I'm
thinking of home
And I'm home again...
[Aesop Rock (Dose One):]
(Funny how, faces show up, waters for me, my mouth and
snore)
It could've been me but it wasn't
The crash and burn and burn and crash infected could
collect fee indirectly but it doesn't
(These are broken cards given
To dues missed of friendly lips tied life is going
blank, slap look,
It's mirrored universe and one god per so many square
feet, and
Everything counts, higher life forms are dirty, dirty
Aesop, every penny
Saved, is this the city of dreams?)
And I'm down to Earth
(I'm down to earth, road)
My zero hour snuffed doc, where the marked the day the
mirth burns
The time allotted, knotted loops around the plotted,
boycotted the wattages
Toys for the prodding of the rotting bottled hostage
One time down cloud me as the useless playtime string
and think it smirked
Worthy well, your with me, from the icicle sweat to the
self pity
Sickly thread bare slid back my needle point life
willow
Man I purposely spun straw to gold to lace each last
stitch perfectly
It must have been the dust, the dust, my god, the dust
he clutched the
Dust, father to rust encrust the luck with which I
touch togetherness...
(Toy, bird, in my teeth, empathy, dwell, in merciful
spring, friend)
