Melodia zilei: Amr Diab - Kan Tayb (2001)



It's not news that I really enjoy arabic music. And Amr Diab is one of my favourites. Not much to add here, just... Click on the link, turn up the volume, have a seat (or not, I rarely can seat when I hear this type of music) and enjoy. Let the arabic flow sweap you off your feet and take you to some warm sandy tanny place.

Melodia zilei: Shinohara Emi (Makoto) - Anata No Sei Ja Nai (1992)

Sailor Jupiter (aka Makoto Hino)
Asta e azi melodia zilei... E cum nu se poate mai potrivita pentru o zi de luni si pentru starea mea de azi: Anata No Sei Ja Nai (click).

Desi cred ca Usagi (Sailor Moon) inglobeaza cate ceva din personalitatile fiecareia din fete, de asta am si ales-o pentru tatuajul meu de pe omoplat, Makoto e cumva cea mai apropiata de sufletul meu. Si desi nu sunt buna la nimic din ce tine de a fi gospodina, asa cum e ea, pe partea sentimentala si emotionala sunt foarte apropiata de ea si inteleg perfect cum si ce simte. E putin mai in extremis decat mine, insa nu foarte mult. 
Falls quickly, deeply, madly... Gets hurt almost immediately... Keeps her crush in mind and heart forever. Yup, sounds about right. Just like the song:

Japanese lyrics (and english translation):

Ima mo tasogare no machi ni
Kirameiteru omoide
Sou yo are kara anata ni
Nite iru hito ni au tabi ni tokimeku

Even now in the city at twilight
My memories are glittering
That’s right, ever since then whenever
I meet a man who reminds me of you my heart flutters
Nando koi ni ochite mo
Itsumo umaku ikanakute…
No matter how often I fall in love
I can never do it successfully…
*Anata no sei ja nai no gomen ne
 Furihajimeta ame no sei yo
 Hoshi no kazu hodo koi mo aru kedo
 Mada anata wo aishiteru
*It’s not your fault, I am so sorry
  It’s the fault of the rain that started to fall
 I have had as many loves as there are stars in the sky
 But I am still in love with you
Sukoshi mujaki na manazashi
Komugi iro no hohoemi
Kitto yasashii anata no
Kawari ni nareru hito nante inai no
Your few innocent looks at me
Your smile, the color of brown cocoa
I know, you who are so gentle
There is no person who can take your place in my heart
Sora no hate wo samayou
Kumo no you ni setsunakute…
Roaming about the ends of the sky
Like the clouds, my heart is in such pain…
Anata no sei ja nai no gomen ne
Toki ga tateba wasureru kara
Dakedo onegai yume no naka de wa
Zutto soba ni isasete ne
It’s not your fault, I am so sorry
After time passes by, you will forget this
But please, I beg of you, inside my dreams
Always stay right by my side
*Anata no sei ja nai no gomen ne
 Furihajimeta ame no sei yo
 Hoshi no kazu hodo koi mo aru kedo
 Mada anata wo aishiteru
*It’s not your fault, I am so sorry
  It’s the fault of the rain that started to fall
 I have had as many loves as there are stars in the sky
 But I am still in love with you

Melodia zilei: Russ - Old Days (2019)





Riding 'round Atlanta, windows down, yeah I'm cruisin'
Family fell apart 'cause of money, it got ruined
Now I'm lightin' up, more than ever gettin' zooted
I can't help this feeling, take me back to the old days

It's definitely different now
And I don't wanna come off ungrateful at all
'Cause I appreciate everything, but
I don't know, I been thinkin'

Nowadays I don't trust anyone, I'm surrounded
I feel like my money's gettin' spent before I count it
Thankful that I'm still able to love
Despite the fucked up shit I been through in the past
I might just pour another shot in my glass
To fight the feeling that this isn't gonna last

Lyrics like these... Yeah, spot on. It's one of those days when I miss having a car. I would just ride around town, cruising, song blasting the speakers, just...Feeling. Being. 
So missing that right now. So wanting just to shut up and ride around. City lights shining bright while we pass by them...
Today I saw an image with scambled letters on Facebook. Said there that the 3 words you see first are your reality right now. I saw change, purpose and gratitude. Obviously I don't take stuff like that literally but I find it fun to search for those words, see how my brain works. I always go for the middle at first (curious if anyone else does the same), then just randomly. 
But yeah, found those words. And I am grateful for everything. Even the hard stuff. Even the sad stuff. They made me...me. Purpose... I have one. I have many actually. I find it hard to make things about it and not me. Call me selfish but hey, I care about myself. Sorry. Not sorry. So I feel a bit lost at the moment. A bit...Purposeless. Even though I know I'm not. I'm pretty clear about what I have to do. I just... am lost and a bit confused. I'll be allright tho'. I always am. But yeah... That ride, that cruise through town might've done the trick right now... 
And change. Oh....The ever coming change. I am so used to change it almost became predictable. Change doesn't scare me. Change bores me. I know change is good (most of the time). But honestly, right now, certainty would be surprising to me. Would be somewhat spontaneous. 
Some good old routine, good old settling would be nice. Would be less tiresome. So take me back to the old days... As the song says. 
Just realised a few days back, I actually don't know how it's like to be in a long term relationship anymore. I mean... The intimacy, the comfort, the safety, the reassurance. It's been a whirlwind for over 5 years now (yeah, I am including my last actual relationship there too, even tho' it technically was long term, but not the usual kind). 
And yeah, granted I did ask the Universe for something special. It would be nice if it didn't imply so much work tho'. I'm tired. Don't have anymore patience for this shit. This is prolly just a rant, and the moment I'd have some of that easiness, I'd most likely get bored (which is why the good Lord sees to it that I don't get that, I know, I know). Still would be nice to rest my mind & heart for a while. 
Getting back to the song. And the mood. Yeah... This is the mood of the day. This right here. Wanna ride down Bucharest, windows down, yeah, cruising... Being lit up... So I can go back to the old days.
P.s. Drop a comment with your go to song for cruising around town aimlessly. ;)
