Good morning Roman,

Maybe it's this song - Show Me The Place

(if I'm right there are 4 of them) :)

Yes, that's what I based my answer on ;-)

Distance between Australia (Belmont, East Freemantle, Western Australia) and Russia (Moscow) is 12,222 km
Distance between Australia (Sydney) and USA (Coachella, California) is 12,222 km

Now I've show you 4 places :)

So I'll refer to those places in this way then -

I'm impressed by your calculations, Bev :)

But we shouldn't cross the equator to follow the character, and I'm sure of this because two very particular places are named in the song.

I have been a bit distracted from the forum lately and a friend suggested the following so I can’t take credit for it if it's right. He knows who he is ;-)

From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
~ Everybody Knows

I’ve checked the distance and don’t get the same figure but it’s pretty close.

Over to you, Bev!

That's a picture I've prepared to post:

Image

This gives 12,222.300 km. Rough number, so now I'm trying other websites that allow us to pick the location manually.
So, I'm choosing the particular location within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and several Malibu beaches, one after another:
Malibu Lagoon State Beach (Surfrider Beach) - 12,217 km
Public Beach Access Point - 12,219 km
Paradice Cove - 12,223 km

Anyway, if you're interested what's going on 12,222 km (+/- 50 m) away from the Calvary right now, here's a hint 8)

Thanks Roman, and thanks for the visuals! I was using a few distance calculators and they varied up to 38 km.

Now please give me the title of a song speaking about employing specific diverse directives to overturn a very long period of anguish.

Good to “speak” with you again, Ruth! I do love that song! That’s a thoughtful answer but I’m speaking about another official and different studio song ;-)
Coincidentally, it also speaks of birds too!....but they are different species to those in previous posts here recently.

I'd say, the title is A Thousand Kisses Deep. Is it?

Sorry Roman, but there are no birds spoken about in A Thousand Kisses Deep! There are two different bird species spoken about in this different one I want.
In my last post I have written almost the same word three times and now two more adjectives of it. This is a clue to the execution of the words and hence realising its title.
Also, what day of the week (in Australia & this forum without you logging in) was it when I first posted this question?

btw....I knew this one would test you all :razz:

Well, Bev, I thought, maybe you're talking (speaking ;-) ) about scavengers: there are birds as well (not in the ocean; but that's a word game).
Anyway, it might have been a vulture then, i.e. a bird we have been already talking ( ;-) ) about...

Now I'm too tired to think, so I'll wait till tomorrow
- to see who's the winner and what's the next question is about,
- and to post some info regarding the new Turkish edition of The Favourite Game (can't even decide where to post it)...

P.S. This edition, by the way - enjoy a beautiful photo - https://instagram.com/p/4yeOeTyBWU/

Hi B4real,

Is the song "Democracy"? There the song references two kinds of political "birds," the wingers
of the "left" and "right." Also, there's a possible hint to the song in that "love" written in a prior
post appears in "Democracy" as: "I love the country..." But, there are no "specific diverse
directives" unless you mean those of prayers as put forth in "the holy places where the races
meet."

Ah Roman, I think you have found the key word(s) I was referring to on how the words are executed :)

Steven, sorry it's not Democracy and the two birds spoken about are both of the feathered kind ;-) and named individually as the species they are.

And Maire, good to "speak" to you :D but it's not Anthem.

And I think you all haven’t read this as a clue for diverse directives -
B4real wrote:Also, what day of the week (in Australia & this forum without you logging in) was it when I first posted this question?
Another diverse directive is a backmasked classical music score.

Leonard verbalises one sentence in conjunction with “Victoria” who says all of it.
Now that factual statement will probably drive you all crazy :razz:

or .....it’s imminent now ..... that your woe will be over and you will know the title of this little one which everyone always forgets!
