Desireless - Voyage Voyage[^]
Last week this song suddenly popped into my head.
Pretty weird, as it's not a song I have listened to in the past, I don't know Desireless and frankly, I don't really know this song.
The brain works in mysterious ways.
Great song nevertheless, and after that first listen it went on repeat.
Desireless is a French band and Voyage Voyage is the first single of their debut, François (1989), and it quickly reached top positions in various countries across Europe.
It reached #11 in the Dutch top 40 and today it reaches top spot in SOTW

I googled a translation of the lyrics to English - lovely poetic song!

Love Pink Floyd, always have and always will.
I'm kind of surprised by this clip.
1. When did they get so old? In my mind they are still 30 or 40 years younger.
2. This doesn't seem like them. They were always anti-war and this song is a resistance song, not anti-war. I would of thought they would be more supportive of a less violent solution.
<disclaimer>
Please don't take this as criticism for what the band is doing. I'm in total awe of what the Ukrainians are going through & what they have accomplished; and I'm behind anyone/group who is willing lend support. It's just my impression of the band is that they were total pacifists and would prefer less violent means to end the conflict.

I believe David Gilmour's grandchildren are Ukrainian, which would explain the change in attitude. When your own family is under threat, peaceful idealism tends to take a back seat.
I have to say, I found the whole thing very moving, and the closing scene very hard to take.

My neighbours have accomodated an ucranian woman with her 5 years old child. The father had to remain back because men within an age range can't leave the country, just in case they are required to fight.
It sucks... A LOT.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I'm rooting for Ukraine, but this song definitely won't be my SOTW 
Thanks for sharing though

OMG, that so screams 80's European pop. Write a catchy tune, throw in some words that sound mysterious or deep and team it up with a film clip with some weird people. Right up my alley
You know how I always say yours songs mess with my YouTube recommendations, well this week's SOTW brought up
Moonlight Shadow (Official Video) - YouTube[^]. I haven't heard it in ages and almost forgot about it. In my younger days I used get stoned and loved listening to this song. Ahhhh, misspent youth.
btw, here's one of the English translations:
Quote: Above the ancient volcanoes
Slide your wings under the carpet of the wind
Travel, travel, eternally
Of clouds in swamps
Of wind in Spain in the rain from Ecuador
Travel, travel, fly to the highest heights
Above the capitals, fatal ideas
Look at the ocean
Travel, travel, further than the night and the day
Travel, in spaces unheard of by love
Travel, travel, on the sacred waters of an Indian river
Travel, and never come back
On the Ganges or the Amazon
With people of all races
Travel, travel, throughout the land
On the dunes of the Sahara
From Fiji to Fujiyama
Travel, travel, don't you stop
Above Barbal, with hearts bombarded
Look at the ocean
Travel, travel, further than the night and the day
Travel, in spaces unheard of by love
Travel, travel, on the sacred waters of an Indian river
Travel, and never come back
Above the capitals, the fatal ideas
Look at the ocean
Travel, travel, further than the night and the day
Travel, in spaces unheard of by love
Travel, travel, on the sacred waters of an Indian river29
Travel, travel

It's pop and from the 80's, you might be on to something!

Actually listened to that one last week.
Mike Oldfield's Elements - Best Of is one of those albums I listen to a couple of times a year

It's funny, this song sounds like "[incomprehensible] voyage voyage [incomprehensible] voyage voyage" to me, but when I read along to the English lyrics I suddenly hear stuff like:
Regard de l'ocean
Voyage, voyage, [something] le nuit et le jour
Voyage, dans l'espaces [something] l'amour The only French I ever had was at school, so I'm a bit surprised I can hear anything at all

I think you can spell it either way Peter

 I did! But the anagram only works in one.

I didn't spot an anagram

That's what happens when you start with a target letter pool rather than a target word.

Actually I started with the misspelled word and an anagram engine.

I think Antidiluvian was the answer to the first one I ever solved, set by Dalek Dave several lifetimes ago.

I just made it, with one attempt left and two word choices still available!
