In Which I think of the book project and brainstorm briefly on it!

Hello, my friend, reader of this present post! I am happy to see you once again. It is great to be here. How are you? Hopefully the week went fine? As for me, I am okay, I'd say. The birthday week, so to speak, was relatively uneventful, except for some bursts of anxiety at the evening of day 12, precisely at the day of celebration. Family time can be a challenge...  I often think if my book idea would go anywhere... I wanted to write my thoughts on urban planning and architecture, and yet I imagine any path I take, will likely be faced wirh cruel scrutiny, and the only variable will be what will the lane they will pick, if any. Firstly, I did read the great book by Mrs. Jacobs on the death and life of great American cities, and wanted to emulate it. I thought on a research, then I thought it would be better to write from my life experience instead.. perhaps I should do a life experience writing, with researches if proven necessary?

Music of the Week! In which we wonder: was all of this For Nothing?

And hello again!!! After the album of the month, time for the song of the week, our last of August!! The day is still fresh, I'm still on my slippers, and I hope you're still fine! 
Today I wanted to bring a song by one of my favorite artists: Riley Elmore!! He was my absolute favorite on season 11, back in 2016, and I became a mad fan of his, and I still am! Riley is just superb, but if I start talking on him this post will be much bigger than I was intending too, so let's just leave the appreciation post for later, for now we wonder: was all of this For Nothing?


Here's Riley, btw

He released this song recently, and I was very excited and curious to hear it, cause he's amazing and I'm such a fan! I was expecting something Jazz from him, since he's a jazz singer, instead the song has a lot of R&B and it's much more like a modern pop song or a contemporary jazz, it was something I wasn't expecting, so it took me a while to get comfortable with it.
But listening to it for the third time, I was completely sure that song was fantastic! Riley's voice is so soft and subtle and milky, I love it so much, and in this song we experience it at its best! The lyrics are nice and the whole track is really well produced!! I cannot wait to see what he's coming next, cause he's so wonderful!!!! I definitely should make an appreciation post on him very soon!
And if you don't have Spotify don't worry! The song is also on Soundclock, and you can listen to it right here!

And that is it for today!!! Thank you so much for following me on this musical Friday!! You're the best!! And let's say Goodbye to this very nice August! Hope 2019's August be fine too!
