Music takes us back - Van Halen - Jump

In what mood am I today? Something from my today's experience reminded me of something in the past?

Or I just remembered something and music from the past takes me back.
Or I just want to listen to that song I liked once.

See if you remember this one:

Van Halen - Jump


After many years I listen to this song differently, good rhythm, good classic rock is still the same. Maybe I did not understand the words of it properly:

"And I know, baby, just how you feel
You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real
Ah, can't you see me standin' here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't you see what I mean?
Ah, might as well jump
Might as well jump
Go ahead an' jump
Go ahead and jump"

    People Without drawing any conclusions, just for my own interest and for others to whom it may be interesting. Data based on the World Bank statistics. The population growth is in percentage. Data is provided until the year 2050, but because the percentage change is pretty much similar over the presented years I extended the curve until 2099 for total population graph and show the data as per World Bank until 2050 and then the extended trend until 2099. With decreasing growth population is still growing at 2050, reaches 0% growth in 2076 and starts decreasing from this point at quite low rate that the population line is quite flat.

    Which Ones Do You Know? I somehow lost the interest to continue with some conclusion of tactics and strategies and arms used and supplied by the greatest armies of this world. I started to think what I know from what I could use if needed. When I ask myself a question "which ones do you know", I am talking about the assault rifles. Today, as probably now for more than a century, soldier who is not equipped with a rifle is not a soldier, unless you use a tank, pilot a plan or use other equipment that is used to do some damage to the enemy. It's a bit surprise to me, what a wide choice of different assault rifles exist. Every bigger and quite many medium size and smaller countries have their own models of assault rifles . Which is your favorite and how well do you master it? For me who has not served in any army, I have quite limited knowledge and using practice of any of the assault rifles.

Or I just want to listen to that song I liked once. See if you remember this one: Rush-Superconductor (Lyrics) Rush-Lock & Key (Lyrics) After this romantic turn of nice songs let's turn to something more complex. I don't know how but my class friend digged out this group Rush. A bit critical in the beginning I gradually started to like the music of the group and could only wonder how my class friend could find,  evaluate and appreciate their music. Have to be a good music expert to understand this. What I find on the internet is that the group performed complex compositions by very professional musicians. For me it is also a very strictly and well organised songs with meaningful lyrics. In my sometimes chaotic and easily irritated mind this seemed  quite admirable. Now listening to the some of these son...
