Les Yeux Ouverts...

When I hear this song, it makes me want to do something artsy... Hence, when I do listen to this song, I would sometimes find myself exploring the bay and try to capture all the beauty I see through my lens at that particular moment.... (www.judygalvez.com)

C'est si bon.....

This song (not the lyrics but just the melody) reminds me of a guy who opened up a window of myself that I didn't know I have... I will forever be thankful to him for allowing me to see part of his world... The world that made me want to do the same.... As good of a friend he is to me to this day, he will never know the impact he made in my life... All I have to say is this.... if he and his wife ever needs me, I will be there for them in a heartbeat...

Corcovado....

Once again, I found myself embracing the music of Brazil. Corcovado (Quiet Nights Quiet Stars).... one of my ultimate favorite songs written by Antonio Carlos Jobim... This song was revived by Trio Esperanca.. love love the combination of their voices... What a perfect way to start my Sunday morning....

Miss Independent....

Someone must've thought about me when this song was written... The lyrics, it's written all over me...

.... there's somethin about the kinda woman that want you but dont need you...
....her favorite thing to say "dont worry I got it"
....and everything she got best believe she bought it

It Might Be You....

Another nostalgic moment..... This song reminds me of the time when I was still living in the Philippines.... Remeniscing about our house maid... remembering the look on her face and how much she cherished the sound of this song as she folded our clothes.... I wonder who she was thinking of? Funny how I suddenly found myself, 27 years later, listening to thesame song and thinking of who could be the guy for me... Maybe it's "him"....

Finding Out The Hard Way....

It's passed midnight and I suddenly found myself having a nostalgic moment... Came across this song as I was crusin' down the YouTube world... I must say, this song brought me back... wayyy back....

Somewhere In Time....

The music piece that took me 25 years to learn... Next goal is to actually memorize it....

Raincoat.....

Raindrops bang like rocks
On my window pane
I thought they'd never stop
Never see the sun again

And I've been sleeping in
For way too long
Mmm, wake up, enough's enough
Yeah, those days are gone

I'm gonna throw out my raincoat
Mmm, I hope it's all right
Gonna go find me a rainbow
And hang it up in the sky

I don't need those blues hanging around ......

Make It Mine.....

....And timing's everything,
and this time there's plenty
I am balancing,
Careful and steady,
And reveling in energy that everyone's emitting

Well, I don't wanna wait no more
Oh, I wanna celebrate the whole world
I'm gonna make it mine.....

Put Your Records On....

Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow....

Anos Dourados...

Current mood: I'm loving the music of Brazil. I totally admire any songs that were written by Antonio Carlos Jobim and sung by either Astrud Gilberto or Gal Costa. For this instant moment, my mind wandered off and found myself walking on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro...

The Same Love.....

This song seems to be the story of my love life.... Haven't really changed much to this day... It looks like it's time for me to find a way to break my pattern...

Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini/Somewhere In Time

The music that gets me in deep thoughts and makes me want to write more on my journal....

A Certain Sadness....

I just simply love this song... It makes me want to go back to Brazil just to meet Astrud Gilberto. Love love love all of her songs.

Schindler's List....

To this day, this music theme still gives me the chills....

Somewhere Beyond The Sea....

Somewhere beyond the sea
somewhere waiting for me
my lover stands on golden sands
and watches the ships that go sailin'

Somewhere beyond the sea
he's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
then straight to his arms
I'd go sailin'

It's far beyond the stars
it's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
my heart will lead me there soon....

I Made It Through The Rain.....

We dreamers have our ways
Of facing rainy days
And somehow we survive....
We keep the feelings warm
Protect them from the storm
Until our time arrives....
Then one day the sun appears
And we come shining through those lonely years...
Just aim beyond the clouds and rise above the crowds
And start your own parade....

Rainbow....

Life's full of challenges
Not all the time
We get what we want
But don't despair, my dear
You'll take it each trial
And you'll make it through the storm
Cause youre strong
My faith in you is clear
So I say once again
This world's beautiful
Let us celebrate life
That is so beautiful
So beautiful...

Forevermore....

The song that brings me back to Italy reminding me of a very special friend I once knew... My "Forevermore"....
