In Which Winter goes away too soon, and the routine once again, for my joy

Why hello there, sir friend, good morning and happy new week! How was your previous one, and how are you today, on this week that begins? As for me, I am okay, I'd say... after a bit of a positively happy birthday week, even with any sorrow that may have afflicted me, ah, it is what it is, just satisfied in retrospect with the birthday moments! It was low key, but I had a good piece of cheesecake! How is the weather in your side of things? Here, it has been heating up, as if spring arrived earlier. Overall, even with a drier winter, the subtle heat was perceived, as the sweater days are more scarce, and the socks start to spend more time in their drawer. The slippers change, the cushioned one is slowly being lesser used, why the others are more enjoyed, though soon it will be uncomfortable for those as well, and the typical rubber open shoes in japanese fashion will be in full swing again. Ordinary changes, but enough to make me want to write about them, and even to start a new pos...

Song of the week! In which we listen to one of my favorites by Madonna!

Hello everyone! Happy Friday to you! And good afternoon! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope everything is fine with you! Are you excited for the weekend? How's the weather where you are? Here it's really hot, like 93 degrees of thermal sensation, not too much wind, the day in which I cry missing the rain! And funny thing, it rained yesterday a bit, but at night! And just for about 10 minutes, really not too much, such a bummer, I hope the winter comes soon, if I can have at least a more mild thermal sensation, I'll be happier indeed! Just enough for me to be able to wear socks at home again, or maybe a sweater as well! I'm gonna have classes at night today, I tried to do the activity the teacher told us to do today, couldn't go too far in it, maybe I'll try again, but not looking too forward to it, I know, this smells like Dan is going on another trip to fail in another boring subject, but overthinking leads to hell, so I'll just keep on going. And talking about keep on going, let's jump to our song of the week! This is a truly special one and I can't believe I haven't shared with you guys yet!
This one needs no introduction: Ray of Light by Madonna!



Released almost 21 years ago, this song and the album that came with it are still considered to be the best work of Madonna by many, and still is the one tht many people think when we talk about the artist, it is indeed a powerful music and a powerful work of art, going beyond of the Pop gender and consolidating itself as one of the great songs of the generation, of course IN MY OPINION. Being both delightful and experimental, this eletronica masterpiece open the gates of spirituality and take us to the sun in a very intense level. A song about freedom, starting over, being reborn, excaping to another realm, mending your mistakes, letting it go. With a music video inspired in the movie Koyaaniqatsi (unbalanced life in Hopi language) it indeed feeds the soul and please our ears. This song is huge, having a huge number of people in its production, songwriting and conception, like Madonna itself, William Orbit, and many others. The final result is a masterpiece. I can't recommend enough this song to you guys, it definitely is worth giving a listen, the whole album actually, one that I need to write about in the future, the whole Ray of Light album is spetacular! Anyway, if you don't have Spotify, don't worry, as I have the Youtube link to the song right here, and even if you do have Spotify, go check the music video as well, it's magnificent! Also the song came out of Spotify recently for reasons I can't understand before it was put back to it with no further explanation, as mysterious as this song. 


I'm also including the song Sepheryn by Curtiss Maldon, that influenced directly Ray of Light, listen to Ray of Light and to this other one and be amazed in how they're similar but also different!


And for today this is it, this superb song by Madonna, that will never die. Thank you so much for reading and being here dear reader, you are amazing and I'm very grateful to have you here. Again, thank you so much. I see you next time.
