Can Colombia ever have “total peace”? (The Economist)

Gustavo Petro, the country's first left-wing president, has big ambitions | The Americas.

And he also struck a deal with the ranchers, long seen as close to the paramilitaries, under which the government will buy the 3m hectares of land it proposes to redistribute. Mr Petro’s team talk of the need to build a broad coalition for peace. The first action by Mr Velásquez, who is a former prosecutor with no security experience, was to purge almost 50 generals from the armed forces and the police. Critics think the purge has deprived the security forces of knowledge and experience. The problem is that without a big increase in the output of natural gas, of which Colombia probably has a lot, revenues will be lower and costs, and perhaps emissions, will be higher. Take Córdoba, where the paramilitaries began in the 1990s and where their peace talks with Mr Uribe’s government were held. In December he claimed that spending on motorways was a waste of money and that they “are only useful to import products and kill off national production” to the benefit of “the owners of big capital”. The existing system has problems, such as a lack of competition. Mr Barreras, an ally of Mr Petro, says that he will work to reform the existing system rather than scrap it. The extra burden of the tax reform falls mainly on oil, gas and coal, and on the rich. “Businesspeople are not planning to leave, but they are not planning to invest more,” says Jaime Alberto Cabal who heads Fenalco, the Chamber of Commerce. The ranch once belonged to a drug-trafficker who is locked up in an American prison.

Total Eclipse of the Heart: The most epic song ever written (BBC News)

As Bonnie Tyler and Jim Steinman's creation turns 40, what made this melodramatic song about obsessive love a global smash hit that endures to this day, ...

Total Eclipse of the Heart has also been performed on the hit television show [Glee](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbQh4nTArHM), used in [advertisements](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=458pGbQcT1Y&ab_channel=BonnieTylerVideos), and a Welsh family [went viral in 2021](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYmSAMcwXA8&ab_channel=MarshFamily) with their lockdown-inspired re-write of the song (as "Totally Fixed Where We Are"). Whereas power ballads tend to follow a linear path of escalation, Metzer notes the "sudden harmonic turns" in Total Eclipse of the Heart. "It's so cool that the song doesn't seem to want to go away. Power ballads had a more visible presence in the UK charts after the success of Total Eclipse of the Heart, even if few would reach the dizzying heights of Steinman's melodrama. But is Total Eclipse of the Heart a "power ballad"? They exceed the category of the power ballad," he tells BBC Culture. Power ballad expert and academic David Metzer identifies that the term was used as early as [1970](https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/70s/1970/Billboard%201970-11-21.pdf) in Billboard Magazine – to describe the music of Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck – and has never been exclusively applied to "rock" music. Yet, categorising the song as a "power ballad" feels unsatisfactory. Prior to the release of Total Eclipse of the Heart, these rock-orientated power ballads were present but not dominant in the UK charts. This would make Total Eclipse of the Heart, which reached number one on 12 March 1983, the first chart-topping rock "power ballad" of '80s Britain. "I don't know what to do / And I'm always in the dark / We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks," Tyler laments, singing about a romantic infatuation that overwhelms her to the point of collapse. The song was Total Eclipse of the Heart.
