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.

Song of the week! In which we visit a Wishing Well!!

Hello everyone!!! Happy Friday to you and good evening!! It is almost 7PM here! Today I decided to do the post a bit later, as I think sometimes this can push me to do it more efficiently! Though I tend to prefer doing them a bit earlier, anyway, how are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope you are having a wonderful day! As for me, I watched a lovely Documentary, a bit of the Great Interior Design Challenge, a wonderful show, did a fanart to my friend and The Sims. The Sims. Yes, this game caught me, I did lots of things today in it, and my head feels a bit dizzy since I spent far too much time in it. Well, there is always a tomorrow for drawing and doing stuff though, so things are fine, and I made huge progress on the game today, so it wasn't a waste of time, quite the opposite! Well, today I also had a bit of a headache, but well, anyway, it was a calm day.
And our song of the week is calm as well, wonderful to listen, and is by one of the favorite artists I discovered in 2018, Wishing Well by Keith Paluso!!



The wonderful cover of the EP in which the song is present gives a hint on how it goes: down to earth, smells like grass in the rain while you are in the car for some holiday house, absolutely genuine and amazing, and one of the songs I'm listening to the most these days! In fact, Keith is fantastic, very true to his craft, a wonderful guitar player, committed to it and we're elevated to another state on Wishing Well as we are on the other songs, it feels so nice, I am indeed a fan of Keith, I'm so happy to have seen him on the last season of The Voice, and I need to make a proper post on him, but for today we have this song. A wonderful song with a very interesting lyrics, executed with so much creativity by Keith and his special voice. I think this song is very well suited for January, the month of the blank canvas, Keith help us through this journey, so thank you Keith, for everything. You are superb.
Well, if you don't have Spotify, you can check this song on Youtube as well! And I'll include the Bandcamp link to it as well, because why not? Anyway, here it goes!


So this wonderful tune is what we have for today, dear reader! If you want to and have the time, I'd really recommend for you to check on it, as it can maybe add something happy to your life! Thank you so much for being here either way, you are the very best, thank you so much! See you next time!!!
