I'm happy to say loud, very loud : summer, welcome! hello, hot and sunny weather, colourful flowers and green trees and looong days and crazy nights:)
last week I spent working in my garden and now I'm glad because this place looks very nice. I can't wait, when I will sit on green grass with good book, good music, good drink and I will enjoy these amazing summer times - alone or with my friends... tomorrow I must to do a few things yet and I must to buy some new roses, and then everything will be tip-top :)
Todays's day I spent outside with my family and friends and.. with my dog, Luna, which was heer and there all the time and with two wild ducks which came to us (but after a few minutes they flew away - I'm sure they will come again soon) and with five frogs. I even caught one of them - no, I didn't kiss that frog ;D
so yes, I had a crazy time but that's great. I just love it ;)
everyone are asking me about name of my blogs and my life's motto 'only music saves'... why such words? - I'm hearing or I'm reading almost all the time. so today it will be about it, I will tell you why.
from what I should to start? maybe from the beginning. I should to say I was born with the music in my heart, in my brain, in my soul, and I think it would be a truth, because in my home almost all the time you could to hear some songs. from The Three Tenors music to pop and rock, from rock 'n roll to soul and r'n'b, from oldies music to disco and blues, country, rap, and etc - at any time, music was by me... and that's why all my CD's (I've them a lot-lot-lot), all my LP's - I respect them, because they're everything for me.
many times music was by me and saved me. saved and still save me from sadness, from loneliness, from doing bad things... music was with me even when my friends, who I thought were my best friends, left me - alone, even when my mum died, even when I thought to go, left everything and never came back. yes, music saved me from black thoughts. and it's still doing it.
music was and still is by me when everyone screwed up something, when everything goes bad or good - every time. and because of music I know, every time I can feel better, I can have nicer time, I can be better person... that's weird for everybody, even for my family, that I'm listening to music all day, all night, non-stop (even now, when I'm writing these words) but for me this is normal - this is my life. and I can say that music is for me like pure air or oxygen - I must to have it, I must hear the music, to be alive. the same was 'yesterday' and the same is today - nothing changed.
so now you know why 'only music saves' and why it's so important for me.
I'm proud to say that music is my religion, it's the only one thing in what I believe, it's the only thing that I've ever believed in as a constant, it's the only one thing in what I will be believe. music is the most important thing in my life. one and only. and I'm proud that I'm addicted to music and music is all my life - it's my heart and my soul. it's me.
music is my passion & inspiration only music saves
Today I would like to present to you amazing voice, wonderful lyrics and unique music...Ladies and Gents, make some noise for Florence + the Machine.
Florence + the Machine (or Florence and the Machine as who likes) are an English indie pop / indie rock band with Florence Welch as lead singer and artists who provide backing music: Robert Ackroyd (guitar and backing vocals), Chris Hayden (drums, percussion and backing vocals), Isabella Summers (keyboards and backing vocals), Mark Saunders (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Tom Monger (harp).
Florence and the Machine - why?
The name Florence and the Machines started off as a private joke that got out of hand. I made music with my friend, who we called Isabella Machine to which I was Florence Robot. When I was about an hour away from my first gig, I still didn't have a name, so I thought 'Okay, I'll be Florence Robot/Isa Machine', before realising that name was so long it'd drive me mad.
