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 take a trip to the 80's and Flashdance!

Happy Friday everyone! It's that really nice day of the week everyone's expecting to come, it is here, finally, so let's celebrate! As for me, it is really good to be at last having some vacations, the best part of it is everyday of the week feels like Friday, or even better, Saturday! But what is even better than Friday/Saturday? Have a day like these ones on a Tuesday or Wednesday! The break from the routine is the best part indeed! But enough about days and weeks and all of that, let's have some music!
As I said, I was thinking about having Friday as the "Song of the week" day, it's nothing really settled in the schedule, but so far Friday it is! Last week, we had the very subtle song "Secret" by Madonna, of her 90's album "Bedtime Stories"! Today, we'll go further on the throwback and we'll make a quick visit to the 80's!
In this month, I've been watching some movies from this very flamboyant decade that I really love - and in fact I should write about it in the future! I watched "Can't Buy Me Love" with young Patrick Dempsey, a really nice movie, and this Tuesday I finally managed to see one I've been wanting to check for quite a while now but never had the will to go forward with it, until now: The classic hit "Flashdance", with Jennifer Beals! It's a very interesting motion picture with an EXTRAORDINARY soundtrack!!!!!!! I just love the 80's so much musically, and I could make a whole series of posts talking just about it, but for today just wanted to highlight my favorite tune from the movie! Ready? Here it is:


Imagination by Laura Branigan is a song that really caught me! Loved the rhythim of it and the whole synthpop vibe of the 80's is something that never fails to please me! I really should look for more by Laura, if her other tunes are like this one, she may become one of my favorites of 2018! And if you don't have Spotify, here's the Youtube link to it:

And that's it for today! Just love sharing the songs I like with you all! Hope your week is being fantastic so far! Thank you for reading this! See you soon!
