Lose Yourself to Dance

I know you don’t get a chance to take a break this often
I know your life is speeding and it isn’t stopping
You take my shirt and just go ahead and wipe up all the
Sweat, sweat, sweat
Lose yourself to dance
Alex – Party in the Sky
Movie or picture
Sometimes I find myself with a dilemma. Do I grab a movie, or is it better to shoot some pictures. A difficult choice at times and in Leeds I made the wrong choice. I made lots of pictures, and only a short movie of a wonderful micro-concert by our own Alex.
First performance
Alex has been going to the Yamaha music school for almost two months now. He has a one hour class every Monday and he has to practice a couple of time through the week. Enough to get the basics. Here is a part of Alex’ first performance, together with his best friend Dario.
Yamaha
Alex has a hard time enjoying extra activities outside of his school hours. He did not like kung fu, and swimming was also a no go. Now we finally found something he likes. The Yamaha music school. Making music on a keyboard.
Alex already followed two classes, and he enjoyed them. He now knows Do, Re and Mi! We got a keyboard at home, so he can practice all he wants. The neighbors are not (yet) complaining, so Alex must be doing a good job.
Vivir mi vida
Vivir Mi Vida
Voy a reír, voy a bailar
vivir mi vida, la, la, la, la
Voy a reír, voy a gozar
vivir mi vida, la, la, la, laA veces llega la lluvia
para limpiar las heridas
A veces sólo una gota
puede vencer la sequíaY para qué llorar, ¿Pa’ qué?
Si duele una pena, se olvida
Y para qué sufrir, ¿Pa’ qué?
Si así es la vida, hay que vivirlaVoy a reír, voy a bailar
vivir mi vida, la, la, la, la
Voy a reír, voy a gozar
vivir mi vida, la, la, la, laVoy a vivir el momento
para entender el destino
Voy a escuchar en silencio
para encontrar el caminoY para qué llorar, ¿Pa’ qué?
Si duele una pena, se olvida
Y para qué sufrir, ¿Pa’ qué?
Si duele una pena, se olvidaVoy a reír, voy a bailar
vivir mi vida, la, la, la, la
Voy a reír, voy a gozar
vivir mi vida, la, la, la, la¡Mi gente!
Voy a reír, voy a bailar
¿Pa’ qué llorar? ¿Pa’ qué sufrir?
Empieza a soñar, a reír
Voy a reír, voy a bailar
Siente y baila y goza,
que la vida es una sola
Voy a reír, voy a bailar
Vive, sigue, siempre pa’lante,
no mires pa’ atrásMi gente, la vida es una
Voy a reír, voy a bailar
vivir mi vida, la, la, la, la
Voy a reír, voy a gozar
vivir mi vida, la, la, la, la
Bad MF
This is a movie. Not for young viewers. Not for people that take offence. This movie is really only for bad motherfuckers.

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
