Entonces alguien puede comentar, no sé, en chino y, cuando otro pulse el botón, se le traduce a su idioma. Esto permite no tener que estar comentando siempre en inglés, lo que nos distrae y no es tan expresivo como hacerlo en nuestro propio idioma.

Alert fatigue is now responsible for more than half of all #cybersecurity breaches! 😴😱 Why? 🤔
Some reasons are...👇
1️⃣ Attackers are using more subtle methods
2️⃣ Today attackers stretch campaigns out over weeks & blend in to avoid triggering alarms
3️⃣ #Security systems are outdated
4️⃣ Threat notifications are not always helpful & often overwhelm teamsBut, don't fret. Campaign-centric detection can help! 🙌 It enables teams to link related activities into broader threat campaigns, creates precise triggers based on individual or aggregated event conditions, and helps eliminate false positives to enhance visibility into genuinely suspicious activity. 👀
💡 Learn more about campaign-centric detection, in this article by #Graylog's Ross Brewer for Resilience Forward: https://resilienceforward.com/how-campaign-centric-detection-can-address-alert-fatigue/ #alertfatigue

Paul Mauriat Orchestra Play “Love is Blue (L’Amour est Bleu)”
Listen to this track by French orchestral pop purveyor Paul Mauriat and his orchestra. It’s “Love is Blue (L’Amour est Bleu)” a 1968 hit single that stayed at number one in the US for five weeks. That was the first time a French artist managed that feat until The Weeknd’s “Starboy” came out in 2017 featuring French dance duo Daft Punk. That’s quite a span of time. Mauriat’s instrumental runaway hit is taken from the album Blooming Hits. The hits in question on that record were a selection of songs that were popular in the previous year, which Mauriat set to purely instrumental arrangements.
“Love is Blue (L’Amour est Bleu)” was originally a 1967 single and Eurovision Song Contest entry that represented Luxemburg. That version featured Greek-born pop singer Vicky Leandros, billed simply as Vicky, who took the tune to fourth place in the contest. Composer André Popp wrote the original song with French lyrics by Pierre Cour. Later on, the song’s lyrics were re-written in English and in several other languages. All of them stick to the original template of assigning colours to various human emotions and states of being. Maybe this is because colours are easy to pick out in a language a listener doesn’t speak—a key Eurovision strategy.
Even without these lyrical variations, the melody itself seems to tell its own story. Mauriat’s version really brings that out. The strength of its singularly haunting quality along with a compelling arrangement was enough to make Mauriat’s version the most-well known, achieving that status without a syllable uttered. Coupled with the song’s title, it’s understood that it’s about how love is both wonderful and woeful all at once. It seems to conjure the modern chansons traditions of Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel in that respect and in others. In that earlier music, the promise of love and the shadowy presence of tragedy are humanity’s constant companions. One always colours the other on life’s journey which is, as always, full of nostalgia and longing.
The orchestral pop version from Paul Mauriat preserves and even accentuates that same wistful spirit. It also subtly reflects the spirit of its times. It’s certainly of a more autumnal disposition than the instrumental hits of even a few years before, like Percy Faith’s equally impactful 1960 hit “Theme From A Summer Place”. That tune captures the spirit of its times as well, also doing so by the strength of its melody and detailed arrangement that wordlessly conveys the notion that everything is in its place as it should be. By the end of the Sixties, the temperature had changed. You can hear it in the music made during that time across a stylistic spectrum from pop to country to soul, and no less vividly so in “Love is Blue”.
Stylistic associations with Edith Piaf aside for a moment, perhaps this song’s source of melancholy is a reflection of the unrealized goals of the era’s peace and love optimism. Maybe these shades of blue are about the unfulfilled promise of post-war prosperity and national pride that was perceived as a given by so many in the 1950s. Instead of peace and love by 1968, we got Vietnam, street riots, disaffected youth, and assassinations instead. Whatever the source, “Love is Blue” is a song for its times, somehow carrying a suggestion of something that’s been lost forever and yet is still longed for as time slips away—innocence, perhaps.
Orchestral pop bandleader Paul Mauriat in 1968. image: public domainThis wasn’t likely a conscious artistic decision. Paul Mauriat was one of many orchestra leaders in the 1960s who routinely took the pop songs of the day and rearranged them for orchestra. Bandleaders like James Last and Herb Alpert put out albums in prolific succession that more than made up the numbers among the record-buying public. This career track for bandleaders is also characteristic of the times and looked on with affectionate (or not!) irony today. This style of music that touched on pop, light jazz, and classical music was a mainstay in parental record collections and radio dials, heard at dinner parties, and providing the soundtrack to melancholic rainy days when Generation X were children.
“Love is Blue” was a mainstay song from that period. This was an era when so-called easy listening was everywhere. It was our parents’ music. But it was in our lives and a notable part of our early musical consciousness. When we hear it now, it transports us back to another age, another world. It is distant but very familiar to us. Ironically then, the baked-in nostalgia factor that inspired this tune in the chanson tradition in the first place takes on a new dimension and meaning decades later. It’s been used on TV in shows like The Simpsons and Millennium. It’s been incorporated into film soundtracks, including 2023’s The Last Stop in Yuma County. It’s been sampled by Beastie Boys. It even serves as Rick Rubin’s podcast theme. How Generation X is that?
It seems cliché to put it in these terms, maybe. But the emotional effects certain music has over us reinforces the notion of it being the closest thing to magic that there is. We take music for granted a lot of the time, maybe because it seems like a simple thing that can sometimes feel frivolous or even silly. The Eurovision Song Contest that this tune was a part of in 1967 is still viewed by millions of people as the contest endures for audiences every year. Many people watch to appreciate how camp it is. Yet the affection for so much of the music that came out of it, and out of that orchestral pop era is still very much in place, even if the appreciation of it is sometimes couched in irony.
Music has the power to communicate human emotions that are sometimes difficult and even impossible to fully express any other way. It has the power to transport us, and to affect how we feel from sad to happy, from goofy to wistful all on a dime. Sometimes, it can sneak up on us in that way. When it can do that even without lyrics and across whole spans of time, that magic becomes very potent indeed.
Paul Mauriat had a long and very successful career as a bandleader before retiring in 1998. He died in 2006.
To hear a vocal version of this song, here’s Vicky’s English language 1967 version which is a more straightforward pop interpretation.
For more on the whole easy listening genre of music, take a read of this 2019 article on The Week. In it, the author explores orchestral pop’s role as music made for adults with jobs, and not teenagers without them. In an age of high fidelity record players that weren’t necessarily made for loud guitars and shredded vocals, it turns out that the genre’s popularity had as much to do with technology as it dovetailed with demographic marketing as it did with generation gaps.
Enjoy!
