I like Sunday summer mornings. It's the last morning, the last beginning. And, usually, is the only day - beginning in which I do nothing. Actually, I do a lot of things which, during the week, I don't do: listen to music, sing at the shower (and I have time to commiserate my neighbours), I watch the best movies, I walk in the street. I have time to childishly fight with everybody. Only time.
Sunday morning in the summer, time is not anymore your enemy. It's that old friend whom you once played chess, and he beat you. And it's that old friend who made your hair white, who made your child an adult, who gave you a big bag of medicines...
But Sunday morning in the summer, it's time for anything. Time to be time. Only time.
P.S.: It's Saturday.

Night
Someone has noticed that my articles are mainly published at night. She asked me why. And I answer her now.
The night is the most beautiful moment of the day (?!) after twilight. Although I love the light, the darkness invites me to introspection. To analysis. To the serenity in harmonies, because only at night I can listen to Gotye, Nightmares On Wax, Sofa Surfers, Thievery Corporation or compilations like Erotic Lounge (ok, this is made to be used at night), Cafe del Mar or Buddha Bar.
At night, everything that is shattered gathers back and no moment is wasted. Is the moment when I can relax. When I can listen only to notes, not useless words. Yes, at night I'm in my own element. I can truly see what is around me. And a day without a night is like a puzzle with a piece missing.

La Guitarra
I was listening to Strunz & Farah - Heat of the sun and I was thinking that it is so easy, but so difficult to describe the heat of the sun in harmonies.
Today it was a beautiful day. A summer day, although it's may. I'm waiting for the summer, so I could watch people. I want to go downtown, at McDonald's, drink an espresso and to do nothing but to analyze facts. Because I need to analyze after a year in which I took action. I need to stay, simply, to stay, with my eyes fixed in the ceiling. I know that I'll give up after half an hour, but at least I would have seen my dream becoming reality.
Al di Meola - Mediterranean sundance is another beautiful song. The guitarist is also sensational, if you have seen him playing this song, you know what I'm talking about. And if you have not, let me tell you he is a real master.
Listening to this song, I like to be somewhere on a beach, lying in the sun, and the infinite sea. Now, this is a dream, but when the summer arrives...
I was talking about today, a beautiful day, not cold, not hot. A perfect day for singing at the guitar. The guitar. A difficult instrument, if we think at Al Di Meola, Paco De Lucia, John McLaughlin. An easy instrument, if we think at the amateur guitarists in the parks.
An instruement in which lies a lot of passion, if harmony.
The guitar - a woman.

People
There are people who hurt,
There are people who die,
There people who no longer want to come back.
People walk the street,
People hurry,
People have forgotten to say "I love you".

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...
