My deaaaar, winter has come!!!
There is a snowy fairy tale outside! We woke up like this today,
haha! I am posting some photos from work for you to see.
And it still keeps snowing! We had some trouble
with the transport at work (all the loadings were canceled), but the situation
is still under control in the city. I hope that the temperatures won’t be too
low the next days, brrrrr!
Sooo, today’s music corner is filled with
songs that have been on repeat for the last couple of weeks. (No, they are not
Christmas songs, haha!)
Before I start posting some of
them, let me use the occasion to thank you for the wonderful music you told me
about in your last post. Nao’s songs are very fresh to listen to. I especially
enjoyed In the morning – it has a comforting
vibe that calms your heart, despite the sad lyrics.
Well, today is a day mainly for Bruno
Mars! Because of k-pop, there is a lot from Western music that stays behind and
even if sometimes I try to catch up with the latest releases, I lack a lot. I
heard (and enjoyed) 24K Magic at the
Victoria’s secret fashion show. You know this song, you even told me that it
reminds you a lot of Justin Timberlake and Snoop
Dogg’s Signs. Anyway, it's
good and uplifting, although at first I expected more (maybe it depends on the current mood).
Same goes for Chunky – I love it!!! After hearing these two songs at the VS
Fashion Show, I searched for more and among his new songs I found a song that you will definitely
enjoy! Let me introduce to you That’s What I Like. Aah, funny and funky, it’s a song just for this bad weather
outside! Although the lyrics suggest something else (haha!), the tempo and
sound are bright and have a playful vibe. I must confess that I was also impressed by Lady Gaga's performances at the VS Fashion Show, too! She literally overshadowed the angels, such a diva!
There is also another song I wanted to
share with you. It’s the cover of Leonard
Cohen’s Hallelujah by Pentatonix.
The sound is more serious and I must confess that I have listened it mostly
when the situation was not so positive. Still, it is epic and rich in sounds
and, of course, lyrics. Not many songs nowadays have this diversity of
expression in terms of lyrics.
Well, we cannot enter 2017 without
something new to listen to! Just today Ed Sheeran released two new songs after
a year of break from music and social media. The trend #WelcomeBackEd has been
the number one worldwide trend on Twitter for almost the whole day (beating the
other trends usually created by fandoms mostly of Korean artists). The songs
were among the world trends, too. I loved Castle On the Hill from the first second, but Shape of You is also good! Ed just saved the first months of 2017!
Last, but not least – we cannot finish
today’s music corner without a Korean addition! Last month Big Bang finally
released their full-length album MADE and there are three fresh songs, one of
which I am going to post here.
Last Dance is the perfect addition to Loser and If You in terms of music, having
the same feeling and ethereal background sound. Beautiful song!
That, my dear, was for today. Till next time! Kisses and hugs! And good luck with your exams!
