The advantage of listening to the radio on a mobile phone is that you get the author and the title of the songs you are listening to. A quick search later you can check out the lyrics.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don’t know where it goes
But it’s home to me and I walk aloneI walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I’m the only one and I walk aloneI walk alone
I walk aloneI walk alone
I walk a…..My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk aloneAh-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ahI’m walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk aloneRead between the lines
What’s fucked up and everything’s all right
Check my vital signs to know I’m still alive
And I walk aloneI walk alone
I walk aloneI walk alone
I walk a…My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk aloneAh-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ahI walk alone
I walk aI walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I’m the only one and I walk aMy shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Sound is a very direct form of stimulation. Sound waved go directly to your mind. Images can be stopped by simply closing your eyes, but sound waves are more difficult to stop. Sometimes when I listen to music shivers run down my spine and I get a feeling of euphoria, warmth and happiness.
The euphoria I experience is comparable to the feeling you get after a heavy physical exercise. After running 10 kilometers you get the feeling that you can take on the world. Your mind feels focused and thinking becomes easy. You clearly notice that adrenaline and endorfines are pumping through your body.
Then driving my car I always have the radio turned on and sometimes I have a similar experience. A song on the radio combined with my emotions on that moment have an incredible effect. The same affect after running 10 kilometers, but so much stronger. Suddenly I have absolute confidence in the future and absolute confidence in myself. It feels like I’m flying, with light and warmth all around me. Problems, worries and insecurities disappear and my path through the future becomes clear. Difficult choices I must make become easy. On these moments it seems like all my senses are enhances and I know that everything will be okay.
When you find that life is neither black or white
And the rain outside turns to glory
You’ll see colorsWhen you mark the sky and the sun comes through
Know your greatest days are ahead of you
You’ll see colorsA spark of light will seize the night
And reach beyond your vivid mind
There’s an end to your darkest day
You’ll see colorsA race of shame if we don’t evolve
Paint your dreams
Fill the sky with art
And ignite with the others
When we see colors
Guilty pleasures. A song that you like to hear but still you feel a little ashamed to admit it. This basically holds true for all the music related posts on this blog. Here is a nice dutch song, which fits nicely in this category.

Tina Cousins – Pray
What a miracle is life
the fields are high and the fruit is ripe
so hold out your hands
yeah, hold out your hands
and you’re the same as me
you breathe the air I breathe
and we don’t understand, yeah
we don’t understandWe all see the same sun
each day a golden praise is sung
to the wonder of man
yeah, to the wonder of man
and when we look why can’t we see
all the riches that are free
oh we don’t understand, yeah
we don’t understandAnd if you don’t ask questions you won’t know why
so say a prayer for the time while there’s still time
so pray for good and pray for love
pray for peace and pray it’s enough
pray for salvation
pray that we’re right
pray one day we’ll open our eyes, and
pray for them and pray for us
pray one day we can live as one
pray for the children whose time is to come
just pray they forgive us for the stupid things we’ve done
The voice is an incredible instrument. Here an impressive example of the possibilities by the Petebox.
Why are children’s songs always so sweet and unrealistic. I think it is better to just be honest and tell the truth.
We received a CD with Dutch children’s songs and some of these songs were so very sweet and childish. I could not resist myself and made an improved and more realistic version. There are probably still some problems with the rhyme but that can be fixed.
Advantages compared to the original:
This Sunday I’ll take in some culture. After my running session we’ll visit the theater and see a show by Pagagnini. A group of musicians that combine music with some kind of show, or at least this is what I think it will be.
Classic music combined with dance, theater and humor. An attractive combination.
It will also be my first visit to the Alfredo Kraus auditorium, so I’m looking forward to it!
