In the Hebrew Bible and the Qur'an, Aaron ( /ˈærən/ or /ˈɛərən/;Hebrew: אַהֲרֹן Ahărōn, Arabic: هارون Hārūn, Greek (Septuagint): Ααρών ), who is often called "'Aaron the Priest"' (אֵהֲרֹן הֵכֹּהֵן) and once Aaron the Levite (אַהֲרֹן הַלֵּוִי) (Exodus 4:14), was the older brother of Moses, (Exodus 6:16-20, 7:7; Qur'an 28:34) and a prophet of God. He represented the priestly functions of his tribe, becoming the first High Priest of the Israelites. While Moses was receiving his education at the Egyptian royal court, and during his exile among the Midianites, Aaron and his sister Miriam remained with their kinsmen in the eastern border-land of Egypt (Goshen). There, Aaron gained a name for eloquent and persuasive speech, so that when the time came for the demand upon the Pharaoh to release Israel from captivity, Aaron became his brother’s nabi, or spokesman, to his own people (Exodus 7:1) and, after their unwillingness to hear, to the Pharaoh himself (Exodus 7:9). Various dates for his life have been proposed, ranging from approximately 1600 to 1200 BC.

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947) is a Mexican and American rock guitarist. Santana became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered rock, Latin music and jazz fusion. The band's sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 15 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won 10 Grammy Awards and 3 Latin Grammy Awards.
Santana was born in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, Mexico. Carlos learned to play the violin at age five and the guitar at age eight. His younger brother, Jorge Santana, would also become a professional guitarist. Young Carlos was heavily influenced by Ritchie Valens at a time when there were very few Latinos in American rock and pop music. The family moved from Autlán de Navarro to Tijuana In La Colonia Libertad, the city on Mexico's border with California, and then San Francisco. Carlos stayed in Tijuana but joined his family in San Francisco later and graduated from James Lick Middle School and Mission High School there. He graduated from Mission High in 1965. Carlos was accepted into the California State University, Northridge and Humboldt State University, but turned down both of the offers. Javier Bátiz, a famous guitarist from Tijuana, was said to have been Carlos's guitar teacher who taught him to play a different style of guitar soloing. After learning Javier Batiz's techniques, Santana would make them his own as well.
Once more on a roll
I’m looking for something.
Unable to waste
Always ready to taste.
Too tired to be
Pathetically lonely.
Too eager to get
An illusion of happiness.
Once more I’ve got no home
And I’m looking for someone
To give me shelter and warmth
‘cause I’m cold to the bone.
(don’t know what stops me roam)
Somewhere I belong
But that place is a secret
For everyone
And, alas, it’s unknown to me.
Again and again and again
You catch my wrist in your hand.
Again and again and again
I grin a blue grin
‘cause you’re deaf to my heart.
You can’t bother me less
Than you’re meant to bother.
I can’t be what you want,
Always pleasure and smile.
(my temples ache when I try to fake).
I’m not going to change
That’s not in my power
No matter for you
Or for anyone else to come.
Why stopping me go,
Why holding me tighter,
(you can’t take me the right way)
Why cling to my eyes,
Why pretend you know me?
(you can’t take me the right way)
To someone I belong,
To the others I’m nothing.
(you can’t take me the right way)
I know you are not
What I want for myself this time.
Again and again and again
You catch my wrist in your hand.
Again and again and again
I grin a blue grin
‘cause I’m deaf to your heart.
You’re nothing special to me
No matter what you want
Like it or not.
We’re nothing but you and me
And it is clear we can’t be
A melted we.
Again and again and again
You catch my wrist in your hand.
Again and again and again
I grin a blue grin
‘cause you’re deaf to my heart.
Again and again and again
You catch my wrist in your hand.
Again and again and again
I grin a blue grin
