A beautiful day

Today I want you to smile to people walking on the street. Today I want you to laugh a lot and I want you to "taste" every sun ray. I want you to kiss holding your eyes closed and then smile. Still holding your eyes closed.
Look at the sky, it shines! An when the twilight comes, take the stars in the sky and put them in his or her eyes. And love each other!

Music, a motorcycle and again music/I like it

There's no one in the street, there's no one in the city. The Winamp goes on and on. The playlist flows from speakers into veins. Everybody has gone to bed, I cannot see any window lit in the blocks nearby. If I push the pause button, everything turns into silence.
I've got an unbearable sensation that is Sunday, and tomorrow I'll have to take it from scratch again. I forgot this week I'm on holiday.
An unbearable night because it's one of that nights when Vibe Fm bores me to death, it broadcasts now a kind of electro with trance, and trance is the nastiest kind of music. So I move on to ProFM Dance. There I find bossanova - and it's perfect for the depressing image gave by the blocks I can see in my window.
Meanwhile, I got bored by ProFM Dance and I press play: Coldplay - Don't Panic is the song.
"And we live in a beautiful world,/Yeah, we do,/Yeah, we do"... I look at the window and I get the sensation I'm the only one left on Earth. No wind, no step left in the street. Sometimes, seldom, an insomniac motorcyclist is putting head to head his thoughts on his motorcycle. I can hear his thoughts throughout the engine's noise. I can feel the freedom between his transmission chain and gearshift. I know, it's just a piece of his freedom.
Schiller is singing in German and I cannot understand absolutely nothing. The song's title is in English, so I discover what "Der Schonner Tag" means. Mission completed.
Duffy has a very good voice and I like retro style. I doon't like Amy Winehouse, 'cause she doesn't realise what she does herself using all kind of drugs. That's it. Shit happens.
I like Mandalay, too. Their style, which I cannot define, gets me. "Kissing the day" has the air of supportive woman, otherwise I can't understand why she tells something aboust "kissing your mouth supprotively"...
Erotic Lounge 6 - Quick And Dirty is one of the best compilations of this kind. Monte La Rue - Turn Off The Lights and Aural Float - Beautiful Someday are the best tracks. It sounds very well!!!
I'm sleepy, very sleepy. And, as long as only we could hear the music in my speakers, my neighbours could sleep.

Compromise

I discovered to early, as some people say, and too late, as others say, what is a compromise.
There is no white and black only, there are also the gray shades. And this shades are the colour of life, surprinsingly.
Compromises are like a spot on someone's T-shirt. Spots that many hide from the other's eyes, not realising that this spots are their past.
And they forgive the tiems when there was only black and white. When the road had one unique direction. When, as Alphaville were saying, they were looking for the best, but expecting the worst.
Now, they hear their end. And they still don't realise it is too late, much too late. But they ask for forgiving. And they are surprised, becuase no one forgives them anymore.

What if there was more time? What if they understood earlier? What if they knew what they had to do this life? What if...?

Peace!

Would anybody explain me why the hell everyone quarrels, everyone has serious discussions, everybody yells, everybody wants something yesterday, if possible?!
Everyone likes nothing, everyone gets angry because of nothing.
We forgot to smile, to laugh. For a long time I haven't seen a person who'd laugh till he/she gets sick, and then he would call me to say me he had muscular aches because of laughing.
Yes, it seems that for joy, also, we need some practice. Otherwise, we wouldn't need three days in bed and a lot of aspirins to recover from a session of serious laughing.
Fact which makes me think we don't even want to get fit. If you laugh, you get fat. That person who said this stupid thing probably doesn't live between people, he/she probably levitates with three dictionaries under her butt, trying to learn them by heart.
And I say you to let that angry people alone, to ignore them.These days are too beautiful for you to ruin it with some stupid things. Don't worry, everything will be all right somehow, somewhere, sometime...

Pain. Would you return it?

I was thinking these days if it's the right way for me to give back as twice as much pain as I got. Whether it's the Holly Week or the Chrismas, what I get from the others always comes back as twice as I got it.
I got back lots of pain. Deliberately. I don't know whether it's good or not.
But I think I enetered a circle from which I can't get out...

Happy Easter!

I wish you to be next to your friends, don't be afraid to tell them you love them, try to be better, more forgiving.
Pass the sponge over what had happened and start everything from the scratch, because I cannot...

Happy Easter!

Endless twilight

This evening is special. It's one of that evenings in which the twilight has the most beautiful colours. It's the night's gift to nature. It's an endless twilight of endless summer, a begged summer. The blue of the sky holds everything. There I can find the most hidden secrets of the world, there I can find serenity. There is the calm that I desperately need, the harmony which rules my life.
Because the whole summer is a twilight. And the twilight is peace, is calm, is harmony. It's a beginning and and end - the beginning of the night and the end of the day.
It's twilight. It's endless.

The time

I have no time to love. I feel like everything just goes by me. I live this speed with an amazing intensity. And I cannot say I hate it, because I really love it. But there are moments when I realise that if I'd somebody to squeeze in my arms, I'd not have the time.
Time to love. Time to live. Time to dream. Time to laugh. Time to...
The time has come. It has gone, too.

The sea

The sea
Because the horizon joints the Earth in a painfully beautiful infinite. Because every water grain and every bit of sand leaves me breathless, speechless, without music. Because the sea bewitches and lets herself bewitched. By so many useless promises, by so many empty words, by so many notes without harmonies.
Because she, the sea, loves in waves and lets herself loved by the sand.
Because I miss her, the endless sea.

Music Matters

I am made of three quarters of music and one quarter of water, so I want this blog to have an anthem. Faithless - Music Matters is the song which tells the best a story I could write in one thousand articles. Listen to it, those who like music will understand it till the last harmony...

Music Matters

(Cass Fox)
You told me that music matters..
You told me that music matters..
You told me that music matters..
You told me that music matters..

You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me that music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door

For all those who stood up and were counted
For all those for whom money was no motive
For all those for whom music was a message
I want to thank you

For making me
A little more sure
A little more wise
And courageous

You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me that music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door

I won't stop here
I won't be still until the sun sets
On us all..

(Maxi Jazz)
Under the sheets with my radio
Turn down low
So nobody know
It's the late night show
Hopin' to hear 'Hey Joe'
Jimi was my hero
Head blown by Todd R. A wizard a true star
From BAMMALAMMA to TAMLA MO
Curtis Mayfield
to Kurtis Blow
Singing into my pillow
And praying I don't dose
Until my 9 Volt battery goes..

(Cass Fox)
You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me that music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door

I won't stop here
I won't be still until the sun sets
On us all..

You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me that music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door

I won't stop here
I won't be still until the sun sets
On us all..

You told me that music matters..
You told me that music matters..
You told me that music matters..
You told me that music matters..

The Beginning

Here is the time for me to write for someone else but me. I have a lot of things to tell you and a lot of musical recommendations to make. I hope you like it.
Enjoy!

This is the newer English version of Music. Me, myself and I. Fot those who do not understand Romanian!
