Between 2010 and 2012, Egokituz participated in a European project coordinated by Patrick Roe, professor at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne. I was a member of the project steering committee. For unknown reasons the project was not liked by the Comission officer and the reviews were quite unpleasant. Sometimes reviewers even became rude to us. In some occasions, I found myself in the need to defend the project with energy. Despite all, the project was a success.
Patrick Roe, who besides being an excellent project coordinator is a very gifted musician, did me the honor of composing a song titled “Brussels Bruises”, where he told my troubles in the meetings. He sang it to us with his guitar at the closing dinner of the project. 20 years later Patrick has recorded an album entitled “Never never party”, where he has included my song. If you are curious you can find it on Spotify. Thanks Patrick!

BRUSSELS BRUISES
There is a new disease, in the heart of power
And it’s called the Brussels bruises
The symptoms are clear, it deafens the ear
And blocks the mind to any new idea
So if you want to know what makes Julio blow his fuses
It’s got to be the Brussels bruises
---
And there is no roadmap to your heart
No knowing just where to startNo telling how far we can grow apart
So if you want to know what makes Julio blow his fuses
It’s got to be the Brussels bruises
It’s got to be the Brussels bruises
---
The battle is drawing nearboth sides can smell the fear
Of being left with the Brussels bruises
There must be a cure to this disease that’s so obscure
That leaves us all with the Brussels bruises
So if you want to know who Julio’s muse is
It’s got to be the Brussels bruises
---
And there is a roadmap to your heart
Now I know just where to start
There’s no way we can ever grow apart
Now I know my dear Julio what your secret ruse is
To get rid of these Brussels bruises
To get rid of these Brussels bruises
---
And there is a roadmap to your heart
Now I know just where to start
There’s no way we can ever grow apart
Now I know my dear Julio what your secret ruse is
To get rid of these Brussels bruises
To get rid of these Brussels bruises
