    A very close friend sent me this song to listen to when I get up early in the morning. It was 6am I woke up and I listened to this masterpiece while looking at the sun rising behind a lake. It was the day I started to get out of my depression... Thank you mimi.

      For me it was quite opposite. My girlfriend played me once this song, I told her it sounds interresting. After the time we parted our ways this song always brought me insanely to burst with tears, because it brought me back to the memories of her and pushed me into wide gateways of overthinking, especially these minor tones on cello at the end. Since almost two years I can listen to this song without any emotional reaction but the gratefulness for that, that this hard time of my life is behind me and now I'm free. Despite this, I'm glad about you and I wish you all the best, go on against depression!

    "Do not spray into eyes - I have sprayed you into my eyes" - This is easily one of the most beautiful lines I've ever heard. I think it means that Capa could have taken Taro's death as a warning, but instead he decided to keep on going and take it as an inspiration. In the end, both died doing what they were meant to and were reunited in death.

    • @awetistic5295
      @awetistic5295 4 ปีที่แล้ว +64

      @@TheRenFord1 "Do not spray into eyes" is a typical warning printed on substances that might be harmful and dangerous. What Taro and Capa did - going to places of war to take photos - was pretty damn dangerous as well. But after surviving a plain crash, they believed nothing could happen to them as long as they were together. Capa was eventually ready to settle down and marry Taro, but she wanted to continue with war photography and went to Spain alone, where she was killed. Now her death could have been a warning to Capa, but it was quite the opposite. He was haunted by guilt because he wasn't with her when she died and after that, he went to the most dangerous places of war. So my interpretation is that instead of taking her death as a warning, "Do not spray into eyes", she was the one that kept him going - "I have sprayed you into my eyes."

    . Its about a female photographer GerdaTaro and her life partner Robert Capa who both died in a war in the mid 20th century. Gerda died during tbe Battle of Brunete while Robert died several years later in 1954 by stepping on a land mine.

      Sofia Roux-
      Gerda Taro wasn't her real name, just as Robert Capa wasn't his. Capa in Swiss means shark.
      She pretty much created his "brand" to use the vernacular. Before she met her, he wasn't up to much. She made him who he turned out to be.
      And to rub salt into the wound. It's extremely likely she took most of the photographs which made Capa famous from the Spanish Civil War.

    Fun fact:The song was named Taro, The song has a fascinating background story: The song was written about the life and death of the two lovers - Robert Capa and Gerda Taro. Taro was born in 1910 into a Jewish family in Germany. In 1933 she was arrested due to political activities against the Nazi regime.

    Indo-china, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road
    To photo, to record, meat lumps and war
    They advance as does his chance, oh, oh
    Very yellow white flash!
    A violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags
    Burst so high finally Capa lands
    Mine is a watery pit
    Painless with immense distance
    From medic from colleague, friend, enemy, foe, him five yards from his leg
    From you Taro
    Oh, oh, oh
    Do not spray into eyes
    I have sprayed you into my eyes
    Three ten
    Pm Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes
    All colors and cares glaze to grey
    Shriveled and stricken to dots
    The left hand grasps what the body grasps not oh, oh
    Le photographie est mort
    Three point one four one five, alive no longer my amour
    Faded for home May of ‘54
    Doors open like arms, my love
    Painless with a great closeness
    To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing, re-united with his leg
    And with you Taro, oh, oh, oh
    Taro, oh, oh, oh
    Do not spray into eyes
    I have sprayed you into my eyes

      Basically the song is about Robert capa and his wife gerad taro. Who are partners and professional war "photographers" who were filming the footage of the war in Vietnam while taro died during the war her husband stepped on a land mine. The spray into eyes reference refers to the irony of the flash of the mine's explosion during him taking his pictures using well of course his camera flash.

      Freaky the song is about 20th century war photographers amd life partners Gerda Taro and Robert Capa who died in different battles

      I know that and what I've written above is a true sense of a phrase " do not spray into eyes, I have sprayed you into my eyes "

      I think it means that Taro's death could have been a warning for him, but instead he takes it as an inspiration to keep on going until he's finally reunited with her. Taro was warned many times that she was going too far, taking too many risks, but she never stopped doing what she felt she was born for. Capa decided to do the same. It is so very beautiful.

      Might be. " Do not spray into eyes" is just on many tins so it's easy to understand that comparison to love

      I don't know If you tried a treatment or have any kind off support, but If you can search for professional help, to get the propper treatment you need. And of course don't stop listening this (amazing) and other songs, or whatever makes you feel better. Wish you the best and sincerely hope everything goes right for you :)

      The song was written about the life and death of the two lovers - Robert Capa and Gerda Taro.
      Taro was born in 1910 into a Jewish family in Germany. In 1933 she was arrested due to political activities against the Nazi regime. After Taro was released, she fled to Paris, where she met Robert Capa. Capa, Hungarian born Jew (who was born named Andrew Friedman), fled to Germany and then to Paris in 1933 as well, where he continued his career as a photographer of war. Over time, the young couple fell in love, and with this love, Taro Love has emerged to Capa’s profession of war photography. Within a few years she mastered the profession and became one of the first women in the field of war photography, and sadly at the age of 27 she was the first woman that was killed while fulfilling her job (in the Barnett 1937 as part of the Spanish Civil War).
      Kappa paid this heavy psychological cost - not only lost the the love of his life, he also blamed himself for her death - since he was not there with her. Despite the loss and pain, Capa went on to document the Spanish Civil War till the end of the war.
      Capa photographed many more wars, including World War II.
      Capa was killed in the line of duty as a photographer War Indochina War in 1954, at age 40, when he ran over a mine.

    Indochina, Capa jumps Jeep
    Two feet creep up the road
    To photo, to record, meat lumps and war
    They advance as does his chance, ohh
    Very yellow-white flash
    A violent wrench grips mass
    Rips light, tears limbs like rags
    Burst so high, finally Capa lands
    Mine is a watery pit
    Painless with immense distance
    From medic, from colleague, friend, enemy, foe
    Him five yards from his leg
    From you Taro, oh
    Do not spray into eyes
    I have sprayed you into my eyes
    3:10 p.m.
    Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes
    All colours and cares glaze to grey
    Shriveled and stricken to dots
    The left hand grasps what the body grasps not, ohh
    Le photographe est mort
    3.1415, alive no longer my amour
    Faded for home May of '54
    Doors open like arms, my love
    Painless with a great closeness
    To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing
    Re-united with his leg
    And with you, Taro, oh
    Taro, ohh
    Do not spray into eyes
    I have sprayed you into my eyes
    Hey, Taro!

      From what I’ve gathered it’s about two war photographers during the Spanish Civil War named Gerda Taro (1910-1937) and Robert Capa (1913-1954). The song ultimately is about the two reuniting in the afterlife.
