Tose Proeski - "The Hardest Thing"

I sleep all night
Right by your side
I love to hear
Your breathing
Breathing

The morning light
Opens my eyes
It’s nearly time
For leaving
Leaving

I know that it seems
Like it’s easy for me
Oh I wish you could feel
What’s going on inside me

It’s the hardest thing
I ever have to do
To walk away from you
When I want to hold you

It’s the hardest thing
In every single day
To have to turn away
I want to let you know
That this is the hardest thing

Another day
It’s years away
I close my eyes
To see your face
The more I wait
The longer it takes
It feels like time
is standing still
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I want you to know
That you’re on my mind

It’s the hardest thing
I ever have to do
To walk away from you
When I want to hold you

It’s the hardest thing
In every single day
To have to turn away
I want to let you know
That this is the hardest thing

Just to let go of your hand
It’s the hardest thing
To make you understand
That to love you, feel you
Till the time I see you again
It’s the hardest thing

It’s the hardest thing
I ever have to do
To walk away from you
When I want to hold you

It’s the hardest thing
In every single day
To have to turn away
I want to let you know
That this is the hardest thing

I sleep all night
Right by your side
I love to hear
Your breathing
Breathing

Tose as Ambassador of USAID

A benefit concert by Tose Proeski, organized together with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) , is expected to generate approximately $ 150.000 in support of educational programs in Macedonia. All the proceeds from the concert will be used to pay building, renovations, new equipment and educational materials for Macedonian schools. USAID is part of the U. S. Mission in Macedonia.

"USAID is proud that it has been able to contribute to better education in Macedonia. In collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Science. Our projects have helped to revolutionize education in this country. We believe that this benefit concert will serve as powerful reminder that the education of our children is everyone's responsability. Each of us can make difference, whether it is through donating some money or items, investing some of our time to help out a school, or volunteering to tutor a child",said Acting USAID Mission Director Michael Eddy.

The star of the concert, Tose Proeski will also recruit other singers representing different ethnic groups to emphasize the importance of coming together for the good of the nation. " I understand the problem. I went to an old school without a gym hall and toilets and this is how I can help", said the Macedonian pop star.

music and human brain

Have you ever noticed that folks that have a musical background happen to be smarter than other people? Scientists, neurologists, and clinical psychologists have noted this and there is very strong evidence that this is not a fluke, but that there is a very real reason as to why this is, that goes deep into the biological human system, even down to the cell level.

Indeed, rather than me explain all this to you, perhaps I might recommend an extremely telling book on this very topic. The book is by a University Researcher that has dedicated much of his own life to studying all this. The name of the book is:

"This is Your Brain on Music; The Science of Human Obsession" by Daniel J. Levitin; Penguin Book Group; New York, NY; 2006. ISBN: 978-0-452-28852-2

You will learn about the biorhythms of the human body, as well as the brain frequencies and resonance that is part of our very essence, and you will discover the secrets to the biological vibrational energy within the human body. The human psyche is very much attached to the resonance of music, and it is not by accident. This is why zoologists have also found that "music calms the nature of wild animals."

Ever wonder why people tap their pencils or tap their feet, or why we listen to music, sing tunes in our heads or why we get some silly jingle stuck in our brain? The answers to all these questions and more are in this work. Learn why music is so enjoyable to us, and why we love our music so much. Please consider buying this book, reading it, and considering all the ramifications of its findings.

Angel of Balkan

Tose Proeski was most popular singer throughout the Balkans, bridging the daps between the various cultures torn apart by wars in the former Yugoslavia through most of his young life. The news of his death was greeted in region with the kind of grief that followed the deaths of Elvis Presley and John Lennon. The Macedonian parliament suspended its sessions for the day, radio stations played his tracks continously and thousands of fans flocked to the main square in Skopje, the Macedonian capital, or to churches , to light candles, to layout flowers or toys and to sing his best-known songs such as Angel si ti (you're an Angel). The day of his funeral (on Octomber 17) was declared a day of national mourning and all flags were flown at half-mast.
Starting as a teenage pop idol in his native Macedonia at 15, Proeski took classical singing lessons - one of his teachers was opera in New York - and learnet Serbo-Croat and English to broaden his lyrical output and his fan base.
At the time of his death he was a final-year student at the Skopje Music Academy. Such was his popularity over the past few years as a symbol of the peace and new hope returning to the Balkans that he was named a Unicef ambassador to the region in 2004, and his song " This world" became a popular Unicef anthem. In that same year he represented Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest in Istambul; he impressed listeners with his vocal power.
Proeski last concert, on Octomber 5, packed the natioal football stadium in Skopje with 30.000 fans making the pilgrimage from Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Bulgaria and Greese to hear his songs and his famous catchphrase, "Ve sakam site"(I love you all). He had organized the concert as part of his Unicef role, to raise funds to build schools in Macedonia for orphans and disabled children.
Todor "Tose"Proeski was born in Prilep, near Krusevo, in Macedonia in 1981. He won first prize in his first singing contest in Prilep, in 1996 and won again the following year with his song "Pusti me"(Let me go) which would be one of his biggest hits. His firs album "Nekade vo nokta"(Somewhere in the night), was released, in Macedonian language, in 1999. After the Belgrage-based studio BK Sound bought the rights to his second album "Sinot Bozji" (The son of God) in 2000, Proeski became a regionwide star and was awarded the so-called Oscar of Popularity by music writers from all the nations of the former Yugoslavia.
In order to reach wider audience , he recorded his third album in Athens in 2002, making two separate versions, on Macedonian, the other in Serbo-Croat. His seventh album "Igri bez granici"(Games without Borders) was released in 2007, again in two versions. the most successful hit single of his career, and his signature song, was "Cija si" (Whose girl are you?), which topped every pop chart in the Balkans.
Proeski died in a car crach near Nova Gradiska, on the main Zagreb-Belgrade highway.
