Lars Karlsson: CapacityNow

The Way It Is. This is a song from American singer-songwriter and pianist Bruce Hornsby and it has followed me through the last decades in many ways.

The song was released in 1986, it is an amazing tune with the best intro ever. I have used a reference to the song in all my presentations since the early 2000s.

I also has the intro as ring signal on my mobile phone).

I often do presentations about change and modernization. That is also why this beautiful song with its lyrics fits so well, beside the fact that it also in simple words decribes my own journey in life and what I believe in.

”That’s just the way it is
Some things’ll never change
That’s just the way it is
Ah, but don’t you believe them”

Bruce Hornsby

The lyric describes how the words ’The Way It Is’ is used as an excuse for doing things better, which is something I have been fighting against my entire professional career.

I love this song. Listen to the music and lyrics and you will understand why.

Where the Crawdads Sing is a 2022 American mystery and drama film based on the 2018 excellent novel of the same name by Delia Owens.

Daisy Edgar-Jones stars brilliantly in this atmospheric adaptation of the best-selling novel.

For years, rumors of the ‘Marsh Girl’ have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life – until the unthinkable happens.

This is a mesmerizing film, as good as the book. I really loved this movie and highly recommend both the film and the book.

A strong 4/5.
