i love music but ordinarily this would not be a topic i would write on. i am however battling mentally with something right now that i do not care to discuss with anyone and frankly do not care to continue thinking about for it is not worth my time and effort. therefore the only thing i can do right now is write and write and write until i can write no more while listening to music of course. so yes i shall write about writing and music...how cool is that?
so lat me get to it. let me talk about my about play-list, the music i like most and why...here we go...top 25 most played. (ipod nano is a work of wonder by the way) let me start close home;
sauti sol-sunny days
i went to high school with these guys (which is not the reason i like them). they are a talented lot,the best in Kenya if you ask me
their album "mwanzo" is a true work of art and though i love 90% percent of the tracks in it i find myself often listening to this specific track.
the song starts with quite a happy chap whistling and you can almost see him hoping down the street joyfully.
this song gets me on the first few lines
"sunny days, beautiful people pass my way
butterflies and bubble bees, nectar in the air
so i said hip hop hurray!! a brand new day
breath of fresh air to me...smile for me baby"
other lines such as "music is my life, music is my time..bringing me better days,all i can do is sing" just take me out of this world.
this song brightens up any of my blue days and the chorus is as meaningless as it is meaningful and harmonious.
sometimes when we touch-Bonnie Tyler
what gets me about this song is the deepness and the emotion that it is sung with it...the song is literally love. again i cannot stress enough on the urgency and deepness that the song carries. and why wouldn't it with such lines as
" u ask me if i love you, and i choke on my reply
i would rather hurt you honestly, than mislead you with a lie"
and the chorus
"sometimes when we touch, the honesty is too much
that i have to close my eyes and hide,i wanna hold you till i die
till we both break down and cry, i wanna hold you..."
"am just another writer, still stuck in my truth"
this is one of those songs that you break down to.
