sweet vocals

Delerium - Innocente

You can't see my eyes, you can't see my eyes. They don't see yours. Hear me when I say they don't mind at all. It's the rain that I hear coming, not a stranger or a ghost. It's the quiet of a storm that I fear the most. It's the pain that I hear coming. The slightest crystal clear tear drops to the ground in silence when my love is near.

Darling, when did you fall? When was it over?

I suppose it is the price of falling in love.

~
losing sight of your once warm heart
now out of range to feel it radiate
i doubt

music by association

i haven't posted in a while. i got sick and so that kind of knocked me out for a bit. i haven't got anything new to share. nothing epic or particularly amazing. i downloaded some Beats Antique and it was alright. ran through it once. nothing striked me but maybe i'll give it a second shot or download a different album. i discovered the one circus song that i've heard on many occasion though. it's annoying.

today has been one of those music nostalgia days. and these come to me regularly. sometimes when i'm actually feeling nostalgic and maybe sad. sometimes when i'm just out of new amazing music and want to revisit some stuff i loved not too long ago.

it's just interesting to me how connected i am to music. i'm sure a lot of people are. we all have those songs that bring back some memory that will be forever printed in our hearts.

for me i feel the music i listen to corresponds to different stages in my life. i will associate certain artists or genres with a specific time in my life. sometimes i think i base my relationship with people on how much they have impacted my life musically. haha which is kind of ridiculous, i know. but i am astonished at the feelings i experience and the memories that arise when i listen to music that reminds me of someone and the time we had together.

i call it my music history. it tells the story of my life.

sometimes i fight with myself because the music is just so good but it will bring up some things in me that i don't want to deal with at the time. it's hard. it's hard to have amazing music associated with some thing or someone that has left you with a bad after taste. even harder to have a lot of good music associated with that thing. i remind myself to appreciate the sounds and with that appreciate the good things that came with that thing or person. there is beauty in the breakdown.

i say i let the music choose my mood but of course sometimes it's also the other way around. sometimes i play around with that concept and play some things that usually make me feel good when i'm down. most of the time though i will follow my heart. even if i am sad i will play the saddest most moving song i know because i love to feel every emotion to the fullest. i love finding music that will make me cry (and i have quite a few tracks like that). i just think it's so beautiful.

that all being said i will leave you with this track. it has a very specific, strong memory and a very solid place in my heart. no personal attachment to this song -a safe choice. beautiful vocals and lyrics and definitely has the power to make me cry at the right moment. my track of summer 2009.

Reflekt Feat Delline Bass - Need To Feel Loved (Adam K & Soha Mix)

come and catch a fire, babe. don't let me fade away. come and catch a feelin'. it's electrifying me.

KAYA FUCKING PROJECT

soooooo......yesterday was absolute hell. came down with a horrendous illness in less than twelve hours on tuesday evening. i wont go into the details but note that i felt so awful that i wanted to die and didn't even have the energy to cry.

my brother came to my rescue around lunch time and took me to the walk-in. i'm feeling a little better now. i just want to eat damnit.

....half an hour later...so my brother just delivered me some watermelon. life never tasted so sweet. gotta slow downnnn. scarfing it down might make me barf again.

i'm really feeling the love. from my brother of course for taking care of me. from my amazing friends for extending their hands. so grateful. so appreciative. i love you all!

and so i can't think of anything more fitting than this for this moment.

right now Kaya Project to me is the epitome of beautiful fucking music. it takes the best of ethnic music and really makes you feel fucking amazing. such a unique sound. moving, grooving, upbeat and just an all around sound orgasm. my thanks goes to carlos for introducing me to this... and Hol Baumann actually. love.

the first track of his (Sebastian James Taylor) that i fell in love with is called ...& so it goes off the album with just that title. go figure. i know good music when i hear it peoples. trust. the best i can do for you is a preview on last.fm.

and here is some more for you to check out:

Good Morning London off their album Elixir

Dark Roads and Saranghi Breaks off of And So It Goes.

Kanzaman Breaks from Walking Through. Fukin rite.

get your hands on Elixir. listen to the track From Mumbai. love the fucking wicked smoothe guitar melody in the back that comes in at 1:20.

in fact, do you download torrents? here! i searched it for you at pirate bay.

and BAM! they just released a new album this year! gotta get onnnnn that sheeeeeeitt!!! you! get on this shit! you will love me for it ;)

mmmmmrrrrrggggrrrmmmm...im gonna lay down again....maybe after some more watermelon... <3

you live within me

three years today my dad left this physical world.

three years is not that long but i have come a long way and there is just so much more to come. i am living on my own, doing well in school, exploring the world, discovering myself and finding my path. i feel he is proud of me when i am proud of myself.

my family will come together tonight for dinner in honour of our father. they, too, have come so far and accomplished many things. my next oldest brother is also living on his own, doing well at work, following his heart. my oldest brother and his wife have a house, a beautiful son and one more gift to come. i am so proud of them too.

thank you, dad. you taught us some vital life lessons that we experience and apply to our lives every day. thank you for showing us the meaning of unconditional love, the meaning of family. i can't wait to pass that on. thank you for giving us the gift of life, the greatest gift of all. though we come together today, we honour you every day. we are not sad; we are eternally grateful.

your body may not be here with us but your essence is ever present. your spirit lives within the hearts you've touched. you live within us.

you live within me.

i can't think of a more appropriate track. moving and hopeful. a definite favorite of all time. (turn up the bass)

Vibrasphere - Ensueno

this one hit me today too.

Vibrasphere - Breathing Place

great album -Lungs of Life -how appropriate

i'm a little beeee sippin' on that BassNECTARRRR

HERE WE GO

a wicked first track to their album Timestretch. a wicked start to my day.

yesterday was a full 24hrs of memorable conversation with various people. it was great. i'm very appreciative. i'm constantly learning.

~flow~

words

here are some words i just sent to my lovely Franziska.

it is so important to flow all the time. remember. allow every feeling to fill you up. fulllly experience every emotion. live in the moment. acknowledge it, honour it. do what feels right. speak your mind.
say what you feel, when you feel it. that is what i learnt tonight. and what i learn every day that i live.

show them your heart. in love they will show you theirs.

still loving Laughter Crescendo. i seem to have mixed up day and night. how did it get so late!

The Knife made me want to stab at my ears

i listened to The Knife for maybe 15 minutes today. it was horrible. and YES she is the same vocalist of Fever Ray. her name is Karin Dreiger Andersson. The Knife is apparently an electronic duo with her brother according to Wiki. The Knife is electronic pop! no bass line in sight! how awful. i really like her voice and thoroughly appreciate her unique sound in both Fever Ray and The Knife. needless to say i only listened to like eight tracks most of which i just skipped to the next after like a minute or so. it was almost painful. really.

Fever Ray = muchos better
