The Cure

В ленте друзей увидела Камю, и сразу вспомнилась песня " Killing an Arab" («Убить араба») — дебютный сингл британской группы "The Cure". Как пишет Википедия

Лидер The Cure и автор песни Роберт Смит написал песню ещё школьником под впечатлением от повести Альбера Камю «Посторонний», считающейся одним из самых ярких выражений философии экзистенциализма. В повести главный герой без видимой причины убивает алжирца. По словам Смита, смысл песни в том, что «жизни всех людей в общем одинаковы. Все люди живут, все умирают, наши жизни одинаковы»

Inspired by the classic existentialist novel The Stranger, by Albert Camus, “Killing An Arab” is a short three-minute burst of metaphysical angst that is meant to question the meaning of existence.
“If there’s one thing I would change, it’s the title,” says Smith, sounding a little weary. “I wrote it when I was still in school and I had no idea that anyone would ever listen to it other than my immediate school friends.
“One of the themes of the song is that everyone’s existence is pretty much the same. Everyone lives, everyone dies, our existences are the same. It’s as far from a racist song as you can write. It seems though that no one can get past the title and that’s incredibly frustrating.
“The fact is it’s based on a book that’s set in France and deals with the problems of the Algerians, so it was only geographical reasons why it was an Arab and not anyone else.”
When the issue of the song reared its head during the Gulf War, what angered Smith most was that while many talked about the song, few bothered to ever play it. This time around he almost decided to refuse to comment at all.
“But ultimately I thought that was a bit of a cop-out,” Smith reasoned. “I wrote the song, so I’ve got to deal with it.”

И подумала, что давненько "Кьюр" не слушала...
