In Which we talk about Apathy: how an Empire fell by a thousand papercuts

Good afternoon, dear friend! This post is going to be a big one in size, I had a lot in mind to assemble! Hope you are well, and hope the weather is lovely! I am happy it is another day on the christmas season, yet I also worry that this post is quite big! Anyway, I in advance beg your forgiveness for not writing some words properly, my eyes are bothering me... I hope my point may come across anyway... let us jump to it...

Song of the week! In which we go on an adventure With the Pharao's Dance

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 things are doing well! How is the weather where you are? Here it is rainy and cloudy, a weather I very much enjoy, the weather is fresh, how lovely! I marked some doctor appointment for me as well, so I can get my sleep on check, I always like taking care of my health, on the ways I can do, I mean, it is quite lovely to do so! I should do some drawings as well, but today I mostly wanted to play Civ VI and read my book! Let us see how it goes indeed! For now, so far so good, and today is song of the week as well, and I have a very special piece to share with you guys, a true adventure by Miles Davis, the Pharao's Dance! And just as I typed this post it started raining, I'm so happy, rain is so full of life, the smell is great as well, almost makes me go take a shower in it!



Released in 1970, with the album Bitches Brew, This huge song is a carnival for the senses, opening our ears to an incredible experience of softness and also intensity hard to get anywhere else, this song doesnt feel 20 minutes long either, it definitely flow by fast but also gently, on this very interesting kind of jazz. I found amazing how Jazz is diversified, having so many interpretations of it, this is one of the most creative, and I definitely recommend to you guys! And this is it for today, just another song for you guys to maybe listen and enjoy! Wish you the best and you are the best! See you next time!
