Bratislava is the political, cultural, and economic centre of Slovakia. It is home to several universities, museums, theatres, galleries and other important cultural and educational institutions. The history of the city has been strongly influenced by people of different nations and religions, namely by Austrians, Czechs, Germans, Hungarians, Slovaks, and Jews. The city was the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary, a part of the larger Habsburg Monarchy territories, from 1536 to 1783 and has been home to many Slovak, Hungarian, and German historical figures...

Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control
Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go
I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got...

Most Slovenského Národného Povstania (Bridge of the Slovak National Uprising; between the years 1993-2012 named Nový most - New Bridge) is a road bridge over the Danube in Bratislava. It is the 32nd-tallest, and thus shortest, member of the World Federation of Great Towers, and is the only bridge to be a member. It is the world's longest cable-stayed bridge to have one pylon and one cable-stayed plane. It is an asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge with a main span length of 303 metres. Its steel construction is suspended from steel cables, connected on the Petržalka side to two pillars. The total length of the bridge is 430.8 metres, its width 21 metres, and it weighs 7537 tonnes A special attraction is its flying saucer-shaped structure housing a restaurant, called "UFO" (since 2005; previously called Bystrica), on the bridge's 84.6 metre pylon. The restaurant is reached using an elevator situated in the left pillar, and offers a good view over Bratislava. Nový Most has 4 upper lanes for cars, and lanes for bicycles and pedestrians beneath the roadway on both sides. Since its construction in 1972 the bridge was called Most SNP although locally it was called New Bridge. In 1993, its name was changed by the Bratislava city Parliament to Nový Most to unify its official name with the one actually used by the people. On 29 March 2012 members of the Bratislava city Parliament voted in favor of an initiative by the Mayor of Old Town Táňa Rosová to change the bridge's name back to Most SNP, effective 29 August 2012...

People that I meet and pass
In the city's broken roar,
Faces that I lose so soon
And have never found before,
Do you know how much you tell
In the meeting of our eyes,
How ashamed I am, and sad
To have pierced your poor disguise?
Secrets rushing without sound
Crying from your hiding places,
Let me go, I cannot bear
The sorrow of the passing faces...

You can do what you want just seize the day
What you're doing tomorrow's gonna come your way
Don't you ever consider givin' up, you will find,
It's a beautiful life.
I just wanna be here beside you
stay until the break of dawn
Take a walk in the park when you feel down
There's so many things there
that's gonna lift you up
See the nature in bloom a laughing child
Such a dream,
It's a beautiful life...
