In Which songs from 2011 bring me some memories of days past... a post done out of nostalgia

Good morning my excellent friend, reader of this present post! How are you? How is the week going? It has begun, and I pray, in a good way. I am overall okay. Not much else to be said, really. Just awaken way too late in the night/early in the morning. I will likely be sleepy by 6 to 7AM, but I won't desire to sleep. It will be that annoying battle against the heavy eyes. At times I am with much anxiety to sleep. Maybe I should look for some other comfort beverage besides coffee. I did cut to 3 mugs a day, 4 if I am indulgent... I used to think it would just make me stay awake, but it just mitigates sleepy time, so the enchantment over caffeine has been dimmed...  This is just a series of impromptu thoughts I had when the social media algorithm recommended me a post with by now old songs, tunes that were mainstream a decade ago. Imagine, a whole decade! In fact, 16 years ago, give it or take... bitter, that it went away so completely. I was 14, then, I am 27 now. Almost 3 decades o...

Song of the week! In which we listen to a subtle beautiful song!

Following the album of the month, time for the song of the week! In contrast to the very upbeat and exuberant Confessions on a Dance Floor that I just shared with you guys, I wanted to have something more slow and subtle next! You know, those amazing eletronic songs are great, but sometimes you just want to have something more calm and heartfelt, and today, we're having this with a song I discovered this year from a wonderful artist I also discovered this year! Birthday by Luke Dimond!


As I said, Luke is one of the artists I discovered in 2018, and I'm very glad I did because he's amazing in my opinion, he's really talented and musically intelligent and his voice is sweet, calm, subtle and very troubadouresque, poetic. I should definitely make a post just on him in the future, but for now let us focus on Birthday, which is a really nice and sweet song about how important it is to tell people we like that we like them, and that we shoudn't just tell them in important ocasions, at least that was my interpretation of it. I definitely recommend you guys this very nice tune! And if you don't have Spotify, do not distress! I have the youtube link right here!


And with Birthday we close our musical Friday! I really hope you have enjoyed it and hope that the content I brought enrinched your life just a little bit! I will definitely bring more songs by Luke here in the future, you guys should definitely search for him, he's fantastic! See you all next time, always a pleasure to be here!
