In Which the Divagation Store reaches the 900 posts Milestone! Reflection on Why...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you today, this new week? It should be the last one for February, quite soothing that it will end on a Sunday as well, given it started on a Sunday, too! As for me, I did sleep quite a bit yesterday, but I cannot complain of not being a productive day, given I finished reading the biography of Madame de Pompadour, written by Nancy Mitford. Quite a good one, and in fact, I would say is a great one! What a remarkable lady she was, the great patronesse of Rococo, though she sensed a move in France towards a more neoclassical direction, and overall set the sails on the direction of the style of the next era, the one called Louis XVI style, though in truth it was the queen Marie Antoinette who truly set the tone. I like this topic, and I love her majesty. Though the late rococo she preferred was hinted with an antique tint, it was not the more sober neoclassical of the 1790's and the Napoleonic era. She brought flowers a...

Song of the week! In which we go to Budapest with George Ezra!

Hello everyone!! Happy Friday to you!! How are you today and how are things going?? As usual, I do wish you the best, and hope things are fine today, in this very sunny Friday. So sunny in fact, to walk outside you would need some sunglasses and a cover to your head, what a hot Sun the one of today... I miss the rain, and my sweater is there, rotting on my closet, because it's so dang hot here, excuse my language. Anyway, but it's Friday, what a lovely day indeed! And do you know what that means??
It means it's song of the week day! Yahoo!!! I had some trouble figuring out what song to recommend to you guys today, first I had no idea, then I had some, but got into doubt between some songs, but anyway, in the end I decided that it's about time for me to talk about one of my favorite songs today! And that is by one of my favorite artists: George Ezra! So pack your bags, we're going to Budapest see a lover put everything to lose for his dear girlfriend.


I first heard of this song on the radio back in 2015. The first time I can recall listening to it was me on the car coming back home from my painting classes, and the song appeared on the radio. I really liked it, but had no idea who was singing, and also had no idea what was he talking about!! For those who know the song, it's pretty hard to understand the lyrics for the first time, even for people who speak english! After 2015, took me a while for me to listen to it again, something that happened in the end of 2016, because Aaron Gibson, one of my favorite contestants of The Voice back then, sang this song. Later on, I searched for it and the rest is history, I feel in love with the song and later on, with George!
This is a very lovely song, when you get the lyrics, it really talks about love and what you are willing to do for the people you love. With its very unique, subtle and folk-blues pop tone, it's a rare song in every way, and a truly nice one! After all, it brought me to George Ezra in the end, which is today one of my idols, for his very deep hard to believe voice, and his unique personality. Everything you get to hear on the song, in a lot of ways!
If you don't have Spotify, do not distress! I have the link to the song on Youtube right here with me! In fact, I'll include two links to the song. One for the music video, which I consider to be really beautiful, and other for the lyrics, because you might have some trouble understanding the song, so the lyrics will help you a ton!


And this lovely song is what we have for today! Thank you so much for reading and for being here! You're the very best!!!!! I see you guys tomorrow!!
PS: And tomorrow is the birthday of my best online friend so I'm really excited for him! Yay!!!
