In Which one cannot build a nice house in rocky unstable foundations

Good morning, dear reader of this post, my friend. How are you, in this first week of July? I hope your last month went well? For me, because of the college work being more demanding alongside other woes, I cannot say I particularly thrived in those two last ones, neither in May, or June. It is not fault of Winter or Fall, and I will not take people blaming the best weather of the year for the faults of some assignments and deep loneliness. I am sad that, in June, I could not do much to aknowledge Midmas, but it is not fault of this quirky little thing I have tried to make it happen with me, and again, I won't take people blaming my longing for Christmas. And if anything, there is July, we will see if I will do a postcard or something. Anyway, the weather is lovely, and even with my financial concerns, I cannot say exactly that June will end on a sad note or downward trend. Just turbulence. If anything, it was also the blog's anniversary on the 8th! That is wonderful, isn't...

Music of the Week! In which we wonder: was all of this For Nothing?

And hello again!!! After the album of the month, time for the song of the week, our last of August!! The day is still fresh, I'm still on my slippers, and I hope you're still fine! 
Today I wanted to bring a song by one of my favorite artists: Riley Elmore!! He was my absolute favorite on season 11, back in 2016, and I became a mad fan of his, and I still am! Riley is just superb, but if I start talking on him this post will be much bigger than I was intending too, so let's just leave the appreciation post for later, for now we wonder: was all of this For Nothing?


Here's Riley, btw

He released this song recently, and I was very excited and curious to hear it, cause he's amazing and I'm such a fan! I was expecting something Jazz from him, since he's a jazz singer, instead the song has a lot of R&B and it's much more like a modern pop song or a contemporary jazz, it was something I wasn't expecting, so it took me a while to get comfortable with it.
But listening to it for the third time, I was completely sure that song was fantastic! Riley's voice is so soft and subtle and milky, I love it so much, and in this song we experience it at its best! The lyrics are nice and the whole track is really well produced!! I cannot wait to see what he's coming next, cause he's so wonderful!!!! I definitely should make an appreciation post on him very soon!
And if you don't have Spotify don't worry! The song is also on Soundclock, and you can listen to it right here!

And that is it for today!!! Thank you so much for following me on this musical Friday!! You're the best!! And let's say Goodbye to this very nice August! Hope 2019's August be fine too!
