In Which I recall some older days, and mental tiredness due to a game I am ambivalent about

Good morning, friend! I wish you, of course, a wonderful Tuesday. How are you? And how have you been? How is the weather? Here it has been not as hot as in late march, I think we are indeed approaching the height of Fall and the gates of Winter, but also, not as coherent as it can be, in the beautiful greys of June and July. As for me, I am... Okay? I did have a messy couple of months, when I think about it, as I described to my dietitian yesterday. I think some therapy could do me good? I certainly miss it. I of course can't return now due to the lack of funds, but it is not as urgent, either, given I am stable as long as I have my medicine for mental regulation of the humors. Right now I am just tired, guess a reason to write today's post, I was not planning to write as much in the beginning of today. I am mentally exhausted. It is how I feel after every match of Victoria 3, which is a game that it is haed for me to say if I actually love it, or just play compulsively. Defini...

Song of the week! In which we make a small homage to Keith Paluso

Before we begin, this post probably won't have any spoilers, but just in case:
CAUTION, SPOILERS MIGHT BE AHEAD

Hello to you, and happy Friday as well!! And also good evening and welcome to this post! I'm so happy to have you here and I'm so happy to be writing this post so you may read it! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope everything is going really fine! As for me, I'm so happy, because it rained!!! It rained a lot and the day was fresh and calm. I caught up on The Voice and even made some notations on the contestants and their performances, which was a wonderful thing to do! My lovely kitten slippers are fine and I love them, though I'm wearing more boring slippers because I don't want to screw up my kitten slippers, I might take a step back with them... actually, this gives me a nice idea for my Christmas gift! I could buy a slipper that is more versatile than my kitten ones, but still is beautiful and that still is something I'd feel happy wearing! Don't get me wrong, I'm not leaving my kitten slippers behind, I'd never do that, I'll just wear them less and give them more space to breathe so they can stay in my life for longer! Okay, too much about slippers, too little about music, let's move on.
As I said, today I watched the playoffs of season 15 of The Voice, which is one of my favorite shows ever, and since day one, a contestant in particular caught my attention and became my favorite through the season, and his name is Keith Paluso! I'll definitely do another post in the future about this fantastic artist, but he's really wonderful, sensitive and genuine, this is what I can properly say about him today.

Here's Keith, by the way
On the playoffs, Keith did something I'd consider extremely risky, he chose to perform Adele. If you know her, you'll understand her voice is a really hard voice to do justice on a cover, on a show like The Voice, if you make some mistake performing her, this can very well mean instant Goodbye to you. Not only that, but he chose to do Someone Like You, one of her most iconic songs. So you get it, Keith put his hands on the fire.
And the result is beautiful.
He completely nailed the song, rather than trying to match Adele, he made the song his own and did a wonderful job in it, delivering a mind blowing presentation, and one that solidified him as one of my musical idols. And in his homage and recognizing the immense work he did on this tough song, Someone Like You is the song of the week!


I'd honestly have preferred to highlight something more upbeat for song of the week, but Keith deserves this homage and this song is honestly for all moments, it's always there, following us. It's a song about love and loss, and the difficulty of letting go, and seeing someone you love moving on, while you have not. Adele is wonderful in the song, her voice is almost unreal and her and this song won't die. It's really as simple as that. Some songs take me texts to write about, this song is as simple as that, and it's as amazing and heartbreaking as it gets. Keith nailed it 100%, he understood this perfectly, and gave us a performance that moved me to tears, I could believe everything that was coming out of his mouth, if this is not art, I give up. This song was a major hit back in 2011-2013, but really when it starts, it moves everyone, and will keep on doing that. Don't worry about listening on good moments as well, I think this song is for every moment. It's beautiful.
And if you don't have Spotify, don't worry, I have the Youtube link to it right here, and I'll include Keith's performance too so you guys will know what I'm talking about.



And this incredible song is what we have for today! And these increadible artists as well! I'll definitely write more on Keith and Adele in the future, but for now this is it, thank you so so so much for being here, you're the very best, dear reader! See you tomorrow for another post!
