In Which I read the Romantic Manifesto, by Mrs. Rand

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post! Happy Sunday, how are you? How was the rest of your week? I hope you are well, and the week went as planned? How is the weather? Here, the weather is pleasant, it is characteristic of this time of year for the weather to be as such, it is the season of colder winds and some rain, which I appreciate. Not as much rain this July, so far, as on the winter of 2017, which I think was quite rainy, but well. I am tired, feels like I am always tired these days, even if I don't want to sleep all the time.  Apart from tired, I am okay, I'd say. Not much else to say besides some moments where loneliness gets more pronounced. I wish I could meet some online friend someday, I am fond of them all! Apart from that, I am reading a brilliant book by Mrs. Rand, whom I am so fond of. It is the Romantic Manifesto, and it gives voice to my fatigue of tropes in popular media. It is such a wonderful descriptive work on what is art, what is romant...

Song of the week! In which we listen to a subtle beautiful song!

Following the album of the month, time for the song of the week! In contrast to the very upbeat and exuberant Confessions on a Dance Floor that I just shared with you guys, I wanted to have something more slow and subtle next! You know, those amazing eletronic songs are great, but sometimes you just want to have something more calm and heartfelt, and today, we're having this with a song I discovered this year from a wonderful artist I also discovered this year! Birthday by Luke Dimond!


As I said, Luke is one of the artists I discovered in 2018, and I'm very glad I did because he's amazing in my opinion, he's really talented and musically intelligent and his voice is sweet, calm, subtle and very troubadouresque, poetic. I should definitely make a post just on him in the future, but for now let us focus on Birthday, which is a really nice and sweet song about how important it is to tell people we like that we like them, and that we shoudn't just tell them in important ocasions, at least that was my interpretation of it. I definitely recommend you guys this very nice tune! And if you don't have Spotify, do not distress! I have the youtube link right here!


And with Birthday we close our musical Friday! I really hope you have enjoyed it and hope that the content I brought enrinched your life just a little bit! I will definitely bring more songs by Luke here in the future, you guys should definitely search for him, he's fantastic! See you all next time, always a pleasure to be here!
