The Cat Empire — The Lost Song LIVE
Maybe not everything is supposed to last forever. Certain things are like… like… skywriting. Like, like, like a really beautiful thing that lasts for a couple moments and then… You know? 53 posts later I’m closing the loop the same way I started it. 52 beautiful songs. 53 pieces of my mind. 53 ways of knowing me better. 53 moments of pure honesty. From me to you. It was my way out of many bad moments. Liberating . That’s the word. It was worth it! Thank you for reading and listening.

Jessie Ware — Say You Love Me
Piesa de cucerire…interesanta tema. Vroiam sa pun de mult melodia de mai jos, dar parca niciodata nu a fost mometul potrivit. Acum este. Este o piesa de re-cucerire mai degraba. O piesa care imi aduce aminte de inceputuri, de nopti cu plimbari lungi de-a lungul si de-a latul Bucurestiului, de dimineti la birou cu ochi crapati de somn dar de-a dreptul “blinded by love”, de cafele in parc, de filme vazute in masina, de discutii interminabile si … de noi. Dupa atat timp….n-as schimba nimic. Tema pentru maine este: “first dance” – o piesa pe care ai vrea sa dansezi prima data cu cineva pe care ti s-a pus pata.

Hozier — Someone New
I hate not having time for the people or the things I love. I hate the feeling of always being in a hurry. I hate Sunday evenings when I know the weekend is over. I hate that we are so busy that we forget what’s important…

Imany — You Will Never Know
With every smile comes my reality irony You won’t find out what has been killing me Can’t you see me, can’t you see?
Song of the day – May 20, 2015
David Stewart & Candy Dulfer — Lily Was Here
In these consuming days I can think of no words. Just sax. Sax, love, rhythm and the feeling of belonging. Somewhere. And to someone.
Song of the day – May 13, 2015
Roxette — It Must Have Been Love
Yes. It must have been. Otherwise … it was all for nothing.
Song of the day – May 6, 2015
Furns — Stay With Me
Yes. Stay. If you want. Go. If you must. But never ever disappear.
Song of the day – April 29, 2015
Coolio — Gangsta's Paradise
Not really a hip hop kind of gal but I do have some hip hop tracks I listen to once in a while. I like songs that actually say something, not the junk full of swearing which they call hip hop nowadays. Not that I’m expert or anything but this is pretty hard ass, isnt’t it? “You better watch how you’re talking and where you’re walking Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk”
Song of the day – April 15, 2015
Hozier & Annie Lennox — Take Me to Church / I Put a Spell on You (Medley)
We judge too much! We look in others’ business when we should really be trying to fix our own lives. We speak up when we shouldn’t and we remain silent when words are necessary. Nobody should have to give explanations for their actions as long as they’re not hurting anybody. Mind your business, will you?You do not have unlimited time here. Focus on yourself and let others be.

Directia 5 — Cu nimeni nu te-as inlocui
Am fost indeajuns de norocoasa incat sa dau peste oameni de neinlocuit in cei 31 de ani pe care ii am. Poate e rau. Poate daca dispar o sa raman cu un gol imens. Dar daca nu dispar? Well…atunci I’m fucking lucky! Melodia asta este o promisiune pentru cei mai diferiti, nebuni si colorati oameni din viata mea. I absolutely adore you all!
Song of the day – April 1, 2015
Gare Du Nord — Call It Quits
Giving up is not always bad. Sometimes it’s the best thing you can do. This is it. If it’s not mutual, if you’re not going in the same direction, if summer plans are not on both your lists…turn around and look for something else. Stop wasting your time! Please know that it’s time to let go.
Song of the day- March 25, 2015
Jessie Ware — Say You Love Me
Is love something you should fight for in spite of everything? No matter who gets hurt? No matter what principles you break? Are those butterflies worth all this? Is love worth it? Is it? What if it disappears? Then you’ve really lost everything…
Song of the day – March 18, 2015
Billie Holiday — No Regrets
The main character should like to play games…but only for a little while. She usually likes to know pretty fast where she stands so she doesn’t waste time … is it black or white? You either want this or you don’t. It’s a yes or no question. She doesn’t do maybes. They drive her crazy. She’s kind and loyal. Doesn’t lie unless she has to. She has made the best of every moment and will continue to do so. She doesn’t care what people think and she will do things her way with no regrets. She likes subtleties. She loves love and romance. Not the cheap and too obvious kind but the dashing, elegant, sweep-her-off-her-feet kind. The soundtrack of the movie? Jazz. Black and white. Vintage. Straighforward lyrics. Not sad but not too happy either. Melancholic. This song should lead the way. It defines every piece of her, from the first sound to the last.

The Proclaimers — I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
Tough one….this week’s theme I mean. But I got it. This song can really make my day better. It’s just one of those songs that makes me smile for no reason whatsoever….and this is a big deal.
Song of the day- March 4, 2015
Backstreet Boys — I'll Never Break Your Heart (Snow Version)
Backstreet Boys…Yup. I was that kind of teenager and I’m not ashamed to say it. Falling in love with the coolest guy in school (or so I thought), being freaking happy ’cause he liked me too, sneaking out of class to meet him, day dreaming about how our first date would be, the first kiss during “Romeo and Juliet”, talking to my mom about it afterwards… Come to think of it…in 4 days, 18 years will have passed since that particular teenage milestone. Talking to my friends all day, the wonder of internet (dial-up of course) and my dad yelling at me because the phone bill was too high again, renting movies and eating crap while seeing them… I miss those times. Ca I go back? Please? Just for a week or so.

Queen — Don't Stop Me Now
Hey kid, Listen to this! This song is a rollercoaster. Just like life. You’re gonna have a lot of surprises along the way. Some amazing ones, others….really shitty. Unexpected stuff will catch you with your pants down plenty of times. Don’t worry too much about it! You’ll sort things out when they happen. Fall in love! Day dream! Make friends! Suffer if you must! Cry! Laugh from your core! Love your heart out! Get drunk! Sing out loud! Dance whenever and wherever you feel like it! Smile at strangers! Be humble! Don’t be grumpy too much. Nobody likes that! Be optimistic! Know that things can always be worse! Appreciate everything! Don’t hold a grudge! When you decide to forgive, forget as well! If you know you cannot forgive, then don’t. Put a stop and turn a new page! Don’t ever hold others responsible for your mistakes! That sucks! Help people when you can! Don’t be a wiseass! Let some things go but don’t let other slip away! Be honest! Be smart! If you must lie, don’t get caught! Fight for what matters to you! Even with me. Be patient! Things have a way of working out. Don’t ever be ashamed of what you are! I will always want your best and I will always want you to be safe. It’s how parents are programmed so I won’t be able to help it! But listen carefully when I’m saying this: Don’t listen to me all the time! Safe sucks sometimes. Safe might keep you from some very cool, unforgettable moments and I don’t want you to miss out on anything. I trust I raised you to know when some risks are worth taking! Enjoy the ride kid! I’ll be there to smack you back to reality once in a while. Love, Mom P.S. Have a fucking good time 99% of your time! Oh…and if I turn too much into a “mom”, show this to me. I’ll snap out of it! Cross my heart.

Dana Dawson — Romantic World
I must admit that until today I had no idea who sang this song. But it sure makes me want to get up and dance when I hear it.
Song of the day – February 11, 2015
Emeli Sandé — Read All About It Pt. III
I absolutely love this song. I cannot express how many states of mind it puts me through. I don’t listen to it very often because some days it brings more emotion than I can handle. If you listen to it carefully you will hear a wake up call. A wake up call for those of you who hide behind your feelings. For those of you who would like to speak up but are reduced to silence by fear. This is it! This is the wake up call for those afraid to take the next step. For those terrified to take a chance. This song is my wake up call. The theme of this winter’s last week is: If you had to play one song for your kid so that s/he will remember it forever, what would that be?
Song of the day – February 4, 2015
Anthony Hamilton — Clearly
Do you believe in soulmates? Do you believe there is just one person in this world who you are meant to be with? One person who understands you? One person who sees you for who you really are? One person who can make you laugh even when you’re furious? One person who you could never be mad at? Only one? What if you don’t ever meet? Or worse…what if they are someone else’s when they are in fact supposed to be yours? What if they are right in front of you, within your reach…but so far away? What then? Do you fight? Or do you move on and hope to find the next best thing? Dangerous, frightening thoughts, aren’t they? No answers. No opinions. No thoughts on what to do. “you are the perfect verse over a tight beat”
Song of the day – January 28, 2015
GOLAN — Lonely Nights | Live Session
This song says it for me today. Goes perfect with the weather too.
Song of the day- January 21, 2015
Lana Del Rey — Summertime Sadness / The XX - Angels ( Kygo Remix) (EKOMIM Mash Up)
A remix is a piece of media which has been altered from its original state by adding, removing, and/or changing pieces of the item. A song, piece of artwork, book, video, or photograph can all be remixes. The only characteristic of a remix is that it appropriates and changes other materials to create something new. What about people ? What do you call a person which has been altered from its original state by adding, removing, and/or changing pieces of them? Undecided? Fake? Disloyal? Tired? Opportunistic? Is change bad? Kiss me hard before you go.
Song of the day – 14 January 2015
Simply Red — Stars
When it’s meant to be…it’s meant to be. Keep in mind that all great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning…says a great man.
Song of the day – January 7, 2015
The Supremes — You Can't Hurry Love
The 60s. I’m getting the 60s. The years of the greatest hits of Aretha Franklin, Beatles, Ray Charles, the Supremes, Frank Sinatra, Animals, Rolling Stones…to name just a few. After listening to a whole bunch of masterpieces, I picked Ray with his Georgia at first. Good ol’ Ray Charles. This song is me. I feel goosebumps when I hear it … my entire senses awake and I feel pure pleasure. But then… While I was writing this post, I thought “Why not listen to the Supremes a little more?” and something amazing happened. My feet started dancing…on their own. I swear I didn’t tell them to. And then … my whole body got up and started dancing. My fingers pumped up the volume to a maximum, my hands were all up in the air, my mouth was singing, my eyes were laughing and my feet …. oh my feet! They were dancing thoughout the whole house bringing out some moves I didn’t think I had in me. I’m dancing, I’m singing, I’m laughing, I actually feel my entire person bursting with joy! So…this is the winner. The song of today. My song of the 60s. The song that has made my day fantastic. The Supremes made me freakin’ happy today! Today, I was dancing in my pijamas with the Supremes.

Bing Crosby — Let's Start the New Year Right
My darlings, what is there to say on the last day of the year? Whatever you did this year, I hope it was worth it and you can look back with pride on your choices. I’m going to share something with you. For the past years I’ve been writing down in a notebook my New Year’s Resolutions. I’ve read somewhere that if you actually write down what you wish for, your subconscious works towards achieving those things without you even being aware of that. It guides your decisions in the right direction so you can fulfill what you wrote down. I know it sounds stupid. However I still do it because I have crossed off my lists the boldest things that I’ve wished for. Might be coincidence. Might be luck. I will keep doing it though. I started the year in a place I didn’t think I’d get to so soon in my life. I’ve started it with the biggest dream of mine coming true. While I was holding a cup of champagne, looking at the fireworks being lit on the Manhattan skyline, I remember thinking: “Now what? Now, that this dream has come true, what’s next? What am I looking forward to, for the years to come?”. I’m looking forward to laughter, adventures, butterflies, chocolate, good friends, health, family, the smell of fresh coffee in the morning, warm hugs, kisses, making someone happy and lots of surprises. Good ones of course! I wish the same for you! Happy New Year!

Michael Bublé & The Puppini Sisters — Jingle Bells
Those who know me and have seen me at least once around Christmas, know that this is the time is when I am the happiest. So… Yupeee. I got Christmas Eve! Couldn’t have turned out better even if I planned it. I’m going classic with a twist today! Oh and the song is pretty good too. 😉 Today my wish for you all is to sing, laugh, dance, open presents and eat chocolate … and have the happiest Christmas ever!

Amelie Soundtrack 4 — Comptine d'un autre été: L'après-midi
Nu este nici un dubiu. Filmul al carui soundtrack m-a impresionat in totalitate este …… Amelie. Ma face sa visez.
Song of the day – December 3, 2014
Hooverphonic with orchestra — Eden
The black and white. The orchestra. The sounds. Her dress. The way she voices the words. Her gestures. The lyrics. Simply perfect. I never tried to reach your Eden.

Florence + the Machine — Shake It Out
He said: You’re a happy person. You should always be happy. No one should be allowed to take your smile away. No one under any circumstance should do that. You must not let them. Find that person in your life who will keep telling you this until you will be able to get it through your thick head. After you find them, hold on real tight because they will be the ones that will bring a smile on a sad day. Shake out all the dark thoughts and see the half that’s full. Shake out all the sadness and smile. Shake out all regrets and start over. Shake out the bad. In with the good. …it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back So shake ’em off…
Song of the day – November 19, 2014
UNKLE — In A State (Featuring Graham Gouldman)
I’m late. Very late. So late that it’s already Thursday. But hey…better late than never, right? Long day. Busy would be a very big, huge actually, understatement. My mind is definitely in some kind of a state right now. Minute 4:36 takes me of out of it.
Song of the day- November 12, 2014
Noora Noor — Forget what I said
After a long, hard, sucky day: Lay down on a comfy sofa. Drink a glass of red wine. Dry. Light up a vanilla scented cigar. Listen to this.
Song of the day – November 5, 2014
George Ezra — Listen to the Man
You don’t have a plan for your life? You ‘re scared? You can’t go home? Tired? Lonely? Low? Don’t worry! You’re not alone.
Song of the day – October 29, 2014
Yann Tiersen — La Valse d'Amélie
Clear but not stiff, instrumental and yet full of meaning, gloomy but not sad. Distinct. Distinct=recognizably different in nature from something else of a similar type.
Song of the day – October 22, 2014
Depeche Mode — Precious
I feel this song needs no introduction. No comment whatsoever. It speaks for itself. As should each of you. Things get damaged Things get broken I thought we’d manage But words left unspoken Left us so brittle There was so little left to give.
Song of the day- October 15, 2014
Peter Andre — Mysterious Girl
As soon as I heard this week’s theme I knew exactly what song I will post. One that always makes me want to get off my chair, one that reminds me of summer and the parties I used to have with my best friends a long time ago, one I never get tired of. For me, a party is not a party if I don’t hear…
Song of the day – October 8, 2014
Nouvelle Vague — In A Manner Of Speaking
This Wednesday is all about questions. Questions with no answers. Is it better that we leave certain things unsaid? Or should we make sure we always speak our mind? How do we pick what to say and what to keep to ourselves in matters of the heart? How do we handle the consequences of things left unsaid? How do we handle having said something we regret afterwards? How do you? “In a manner of speaking, semantics won’t do In this life that we live we only make do And the way that we feel Might have to be sacrificed So in a manner of speaking, I just want to say That like you, I should find a way To tell you everything By saying nothing” Read more: Nouvelle Vague – In A Manner Of Speaking Lyrics | MetroLyrics

Take That — Back for Good
Good challenge! Had more than one song in mind for this week and it was hard to pick one… one was too slow, another one too Romanian, the third one too raggae (this is Marcel’s field) and so on. But then, during a conversation with one of my best friends, I remembered this one. This song does brings back butterflies….but not the romantic type of butterflies. Another kind, one that is, from my point of view, far more important…friendship butterflies. My closest friends have been in my life since … hmm, it’s hard to count at this particular moment….well, 5th grade. We’ve been through everything that kids, teenagers, young adults and people in their 30s (yes, we’re there) go through and I am actually looking forward to what’s next with them by my side. It’s been so long that I’m pretty sure we’re not friends anymore. We’re family.

Mariah Carey — I'll Be There
I am one of those people that believe men and women can be friends without it turning into something more. I’ve had guy friends. I still do. And really close ones. From the outside it may seem weird or that it’s definitely something more. I’ve heard all types of comments. However, I know better. And I also know that people tend to judge or misinterpret what they don’t understand or what they’ve never lived. This song always reminds me of friends. Girls or boys. And nothing more.

Chimène Badi — Entre nous
Le hasard exprime l’incapacité de prévoir avec certitude un fait quelconque, c’est-à-dire prévoir ce qu’il va advenir. Ainsi, pour éclairer le sens du mot, il est souvent dit que hasard est synonyme d’« imprévisibilité », ou « imprédictibilité ». Entre nous, C’est l’histoire Qui commence au hasard De nos yeux qui se cherchent Entre nous

Emeric Imre — Nebun de alb
Nu sunt neaparat fan muzica folk. Nu sunt nici fan Vama Veche. Nu ma consider nici foarte spontana. Insa un anumit moment ce le imbina pe toate 3 imi va ramane in minte probabil mult timp. In urma cu aproximativ 7 ani, intr-o noapte de vara am ajuns pe plaja in Vama Veche la un concert folk. Stateam pe nisip cu o persoana foarte draga mie, iar Emeric Imre ne canta “Nebun de Alb”. Langa noi doua era un cuplu pe la vreo 45-50 de ani. El o tinea pe ea de gat si cantau amandoi usor melodia. Pareau de o liniste si o fericire cum rar mai vezi in ziua de azi. Ma gandeam ce norocosi trebuie sa fie si ce norocoasa as fi eu sa ma gasesc in aceeasi stare la varsta lor. Am stiut ce melodie pun din prima clipa in care am vazut tema data de Julie. Cuvinte asa frumos puse pe o linie melodica mai rar… Roxy – Let’s hear some Romanian jazz baby!
Song of the day- September 3, 2014
Linkin Park — Rolling In The Deep
I love surprises. Good ones of course. However…my friends and family would tell you that it’s almost impossible to prepare a surprise for me. Apparently I’m very nosy, I ask a lot of questions and I get upset if something goes on behind my back and I don’t know what. I love them nonetheless…surprises and people who managed to pull them off I mean. I guess I like to know what to expect so that I am always prepared. For anything and anyone at anytime. One of my resolutions for 2015 (now it’s too soon and I’m not prepared ) will be to get rid of this urge to control things and just enjoy the unexpected. I hear it pays off. On this late and rainy Wednesday, this unexpected live cover is my gift to you.
Song of the day – August 27, 2014
The Verve — Bitter Sweet Symphony
Have you ever had the feeling that if you forget something that happened to you, you might also forget a big part of yourself? I’m talking about moments and experiences that shaped you into the person you are today. Happiness, sadness, good or evil, love stories, heartaches, tragedies or simple and pure joy. All of these, and probably much more, created the YOU you are today, right now when you are reading this. You go on with your life. You get over things. But the memories of those moments are still there. What would we be without the memories of our childhood, of our teenage years, of our past altogether? Numb. I have always avoided numbness. Even if it meant being crazy hurt before being crazy happy. Going through life in a state of numbess is one of the worst things I can think of. Do everything you can not to lose your memories. Live life the best you can to the point where it creates the YOU you want to be tomorrow. “Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That’s part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads – at least that’s where I imagine it – there’s a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you’ll live forever in your own private library.” (H.M.)

Iyeoka — Simply Falling
It’s Tuesday, the 19th of August 11:05 pm. I’m lying on the couch in my pijamas, listening to what will be the song of tomorrow. I found it 20 minutes ago by mistake and it has been playing on repeat ever since. It puts me in a very strange state of mind. Calm and chaotic at the same time. Makes me think about…nothing. A lot of nothings actually… … Jazz. Interview. Fun. Ice cream. Colleagues. Wellness. Blues. Sleep. Words. Mistakes. Origami. Green. Lies. Falling. Overthinking. Addictions. Plans. Breaking in. Wishful minds. Backache. Darkness. Growing. Leather. Vanilla cigar. Breathing. Confidence. Games. Friends. Writing. Changes. 7.
Song of the day- August 13, 2014
Mree — Fame
Intotdeauna am preferat sa regret lucruri pe care le-am facut decat sa traiesc o viata cu sacaitoarea intrebare “What if?”. Niciodata nu mi-a placut incertitudinea si am facut absolut totul ca sa o elimin. Sunt intelegatoare, toleranta si incerc sa invat din greseli. Atat ale mele cat si ale celorlalti. Nu dramatizez situatiile in care ajung si incerc sa nu ii judec pe ceilalti. Respect libertatea celor din jur. Apreciez ceea ce mi-a fost dat si am muncit pentru ce am obtinut. Incerc sa respect cele de mai sus in fiecare zi. Nu imi iese intotdeauna, dar depun eforturi pentru a face fiecare zi sa merite. Voi cum va traiti viata? Traiti de fapt?
Song of the day – August 6, 2014
Rebecca Ferguson feat. John Legend — Bridges
Everything happens for a reason. I keep hearing that. Why do people say it? Is it true? Or is it just a poor excuse meant to make us feel better when things don’t work out the way we had hoped? I guess it’s easier to blame fate or a weird and unfortunate alignment of planets than to actually acknowledge that it was our actions that led to a certain development of things. Less painful. But then…if we blame anything other than ourselves…doesn’t that mean that we never learn from our mistakes? Be brave. Take responsibility. Do better next time.
Song of the day – July 30, 2014
Daughter — Get Lucky (Daft Punk Cover) (Pretty Pink Edit
This week is all about letting go. Taking deep breaths. Relaxing. Smiling. Enjoying time off before a new beginning. Sometimes you need to take a step back and see things from a new perspective in order to appreciate them again…and to their full extent. Same goes for this song. For me at least. “Like the legend of the Phoenix/ All ends with beginnings”
Song of the day – July 23, 2014
Robbie Williams — Feel
There’s been a lot of feeling for me these days. Some people know why. Others can only guess. I’ve been up and down, smiling, crying, laughing, day dreaming, panicking, wondering … you name the feeling. I’ve been through it. My heart is full of excitement for what’s coming and broken for what it leaves behind. So many things, people, memories…unforgettable ones. I love rollercoasters. I’d go in each and every one of them. The emotional rollercoasters on the other hand … those I could easily go without. I wish I could say more. But my mind is a total blank. My soul however….different story.
Song of the day – July 16,2014
Yann Tiersen — Comptine d`un autre ete - l`apres-midi
What have you taken for granted today? Your job? Your boyfriend or girlfriend maybe? Water? The AC in your office? We take things and people for granted without even knowing it. It has become part of our DNA. We think we deserve everything. We don’t appreciate little things anymore. We don’t appreciate some of the big things either. We break things. We consume more than we need. We want people to stay only after we have pushed them away. We have become so consumed with our busy lives that we forget some people don’t have it as good as we do. Dare to imagine how tomorrow would be like without the things you take for granted today. “Certain things are like… like… skywriting. Like, like, like a really beautiful thing that lasts for a couple moments and then … You know?” Yes. I do know. Other things, or people, can stay … if you take care of them.

East 17 feat. Gabrielle — If You Ever
This is not about the lyrics of the song. It’s about the feeling it gives me. It takes me back to my teenager years. I had no worries and yet the problems I had seemed huge at the moment. It would be the end of the world if the guy I liked didn’t smile at me one day. But it was fine. After talking about it over the phone for one hour with my best friends it would all be good again. Because they were there. Through everything. Teenager years are over. Time to be a grown up. Decisions to take. Lives to change. Sadness to get over. Plans to make. But I am as sure as the working day is long that I will take at least 5 minutes daily to travel back in time. And so should you. Melancholy kicking in…
Song of the day – July 02, 2014
Charlie Winston — Hello Alone
I like to start my posts as if I’m already in a conversation with you, as if we’ve been talking about the subject for a while. Have you noticed? I realize more and more that I know very few people who aren’t afraid of being alone … who aren’t afraid of going home to an empty apartment, of eating alone, of watching a movie alone, of listening to music alone. Don’t get me wrong! I’m a sociable person. I like people. I love my friends out of my mind. But I also enjoy my time alone. A lot. It makes me really happy when I do some of the things I love … only in my own company. So I don’t get it. We weren’t born with someone holding our hand (unless you are a twin, in which case this could have actually happened). Why do people feel the need to feel comfortable or happy only when they have someone around, whether it is a friend, a lover, a cat or a dog? Does it come from the fear of being alone with their own thoughts, regrets, wishes that never came true? Yup. Hurts like hell and it’s scary when things don’t go out the way you want. Depression might even kick in. Nonetheless… …be happy with who you are. Accept the mistakes you did. Embrace the consequences and let them turn you into the person you will be tomorrow, whoever that new you will turn out to be.

Sade — No Ordinary Love
“Love is an ugly, terrible business practiced by fools. It’ll trample your heart and leave you bleeding on the floor. And what does it really get you in the end? Nothing but a few incredible memories that you can’t ever shake.” Yes. Just that . A few incredible moments. And a life less ordinary… So tell me …. what do you do in the face of love? Do you give all the love you’ve got? Do you give more that you can give? Or are you scared out of your senses? Do you just freeze at the thought that you might get hurt? Do you let it pass you by hoping anther one will come along when you will be more …ready? Choose wisely. Choose something less ordinary…as ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming and short as it may be. You will want something to remember when you look back at your life. In matters of the heart don’t be blinded by fear.

The Cat Empire — The Lost Song LIVE
I used to be very good friends with this song (and this live version in particular) a long time ago. It made me feel like I could do anything. Dance in the rain. Smile when I feel like crying. Ice skate in the middle of the night. Pretend I’m someone else just for the fun of it. In the past years it has been just an acquaintance of mine. I cannot really handle it anymore. Some days, like today, it gets by. Not all that is lost must be forgotten. In the end… …don’t collect things. Or people. Or regrets. Collect memories. Good and defining ones. Collect songs that keep these memories alive. And hope from the bottom of your heart you’ll never lose them.
