Christmas is all around...
It's still a beginning of the month, so we still have some time before typically Christmas music will turn up at our houses. Today I chose the album by the one and only, Enya, because who else as not she will turn the winter into something magic?
And Winter Came... was released on November 2008 but trust me, songs on this album are so amazing that you never have enough. On this album we can find 12 tracks on the normal version,but thirteenth track, Miraculum, we can find as mp3 file on Amazon.com and on iTunes.
There was only one single, Trains and Winter Rains, released on October 10 2008.
❄️
In my opinion you can listen to this album at any time, not only during winter or Christmas. Trust me, these songs sound perfect even in the summer. I know, it's bit weird but that's that's the truth. You know, this is Enya, and as we all know her music is just epic and full of magic, and this is what all people need to be happy.

And Winter Came... Journey of the Angels White Is in the Winter Night O Come, O Come, Emmanuel Trains and Winter Rains Dreams Are More Precious Last Time by Moonlight One Toy Soldier Stars and Midnight Blue The Spirit of Christmas Past My! My! Time Flies! Oíche Chiúin Miraculum

I hope the playlist of these songs will make your winter more magical.

It's December 1st, so it's time to start thinking of Winter and snow and Christmas and all these things which made this time so wonderful.
It's so damn crazy how fast time is flying. I remember so good when I made last year's playlists and I have that feeling that it was just yesterday, not twelve months ago. But life is life and we have to go on; that's why I'm doing this post. It's time to feel winter vibrations, get the right mood to enjoy every second of this special time.
This year's first playlist will be typical about the winter. Don't worry, everything about Christmas will come soon, we still have some time for it.
I chose the best songs, in my opinion, music ideal to feel Winter for real. That's bad that some of these songs are simple forgotten...but maybe that's why they are so magical.
And what about your favourite winter songs?

Ladies and Gents, today I would like to recommend you the music of this awesome band - KONGOS. I'm sure you will become a fan of their music because their music is just epic. Are you ready?
KONGOS is an alternative rock band from Johannesburg [South Africa] formed by four brothers: Johnny Kongos [accordion / keyboards / vocals], Jesse Kongos [drums / percussion / vocals], Daniel Kongos [guitar /vocals] and Dylan Kongos [bass guitar /lap slide guitar /vocals].
Their debut album "Kongos" was released on 2007, and the second album, "Lunatic", was released on 2012.
Also you can find a few words about their show in Poland in 2014 here.
Why I chose KONGOS as the artist of the day?
That's sad a bit, because I heard about them for the first time two years ago and I think,it was too late. Why? Because their music is just epic. You can feel that mix of rock and kwaito, feel all these great rhythms in every song played by them and that's the best.
Probably you are thinking now "so what, this is just the next alternative rock band, and what is new this time?". Everything. They are not like the others. They are better. They are so damn good.
You have to listen to even one song by them to feel it.
I always have a problem to find the best words to say all these reasons why I chose somebody or some music and, to be honest, this time is the same. I could write here all words, compliments, good and bad reasons why you should listen to them, but I'm pretty sure it would be too little. They just have something what makes them so perfect. Huge talent, great music? Yes, but not only. I think that the whole magic is in them, in what they are doing.
Believe me or not, but there's something in their music what gives you a piece of good and real music, music full of emotions, words, full of great vibrations. With soul. And that's everything what you need if you want to feel freedom and happiness.
Sometimes you have such a feeling that the music sounds the same. Yes, something like that happens very often nowadays. But not this time. This time you have a chance to get to know something different, something good. Something epic. Every song from their albums is something so damn good from beginning to end and with every next song you want more and more. You know, it's something in their music that you want to listen to it all the time and that's just amazing.
Songs on their albums are unique, with excellent lyrics and perfect sounds. Also I think that there's something between vocals, lyrics, music and the band who made it. Magnetism. Why do I think that this is it? Because when you're listen to any song by them, you have something like 'wow!' and 'I feel it!' in your mind.
Think - what's better than perfect alternative rock music, all these super things of the band which I already wrote and your feelings when the song ends and you must play it again because you want more and more? Here's your answer.
As for me, their music is something really awesome, fresh and unique, something what you can listen all day long because it gives you pure energy, happiness, freedom.
Now, I'm waiting for more music by KONGOS, because as for me they're just excellent. Also I wish all the best to them and of course I'm keeping my fingers crossed for their future, because they are very talented and I know that they will surprise us yet.
And you better remember the name of this band - KONGOS.
It's your turn now. I think you should check it to judge, is it for you or not, but I'm sure that if you love, or only like, such mix of music - there is no other way, you will like KONGOS.
And remember, if you like any of these songs [or maybe even all of them], show them some love and share their music with your friends and/or with other people. Tell the World about this great music and about KONGOS.
Ready or not, here we go!

Ladies and Gents, today I would like to recommend you the music of this nice man - Noah Clouds. His music is just so great and his voice is so amazing so I'm pretty sure you will become a fan of him and his music. Are you ready to listen to his music?
Noah Clouds is a musician, singer and songwriter from York [UK]. His songs are a great piece of acoustic music [mix of folk, indie and country blues] with super sounds, lyrics and of course with a great voice.
Why I chose Noah as today's
artist of the day? For sure because of his voice and own songs. As you all
know, it's always great to hear something new and something with soul and
heart. Something what will stay in our minds for longer than two or three
minutes. His songs have it all - from the great sounds, lyrics and talent of
the musician to something between words and rhythms. The soul. Music made by
him is nice, easy. Just amazing.
When you are listening to Noah, there's something what gives you a piece of
good, real music, full of emotions, words and amazing sounds, and that's really
cool. Why? Because it's something special and wonderful when you are able to
feel the music, every second of the song, every word.
Maybe an acoustic music is too simple and too easy to be great
but in my opinion this kind of music is one of the best, because you can get to
know the artist and his talent. And that's the fact about him - he is very
talented. I
don't know why and how, but no matter what he's singing, he's doing it always
perfect and every sound, every track is just a mix of everything the best.
Something epic. Something what you can love and call a real music.
Pure perfection? Sure, because every song sung by him sounds like heaven. I
think that when you will listen to the music you will exactly know how to
describe him and his work. And that's why I'm pretty sure you will fall in love
not only with his voice but for sure with his songs and you will find your own
world in his music. As
always I'm writing and writing only words, but it will be better if you will
listen to these cool songs and then you will be able to judge, is it for you or
not. If you like or love such a kind of music, an acoustic music, his work is
for you and I'm sure you will say: damn, that's perfect, I love it!
To be
honest I can't wait for more music by him. I'm sure it will be something so
good like previous songs and I'm sure he will surprise not only me, but the
whole World with his next songs and talent. And of course I'm keeping my
fingers crossed for Noah and his future.
And
remember, if you like these songs, show him some love and share his music with
your friends and/or with other people. Tell the World about these awesome songs
and of course about Noah.
Now it's really your
turn. Go and listen to all these amazing songs...

Ladies and Gents - make some noise for one and only, Lola Cove!
Today's song of the day is the newest song "The Brave" and I'm pretty sure you will love it. Trust me, it's really good song with cool sounds so better turn up speakers, feel it and make some noise.
Are you ready?
Lola Cove are an alternative rock band from London [UK] formed by
Luke Richmond [lead vocals / piano], Ollie Richmond [vocals / guitar],
Jonny Swales [bass], Owen Crane [vocals / guitar] and finally Rob
Cousins [drums] in 2013. Their first EP with three tracks was released
in 2013, but their first official EP will be released in the second half
of this year, 2014. Their first official music video - "Breathe"
[released on April 2014].
I'm sure that you remember my last post about them [if not, you can read it here] and you remember when I wrote that I can't wait for more music by them because they're really awesome and their music is cool, fresh and a great piece of rock? This song is a great example that their music is just excellent. Because that they're talented I don't have to say again.
"The Brave" - why?
That's simple - this song is just epic! And to be honest they surprised me again. Really. The song was released on August 31 so it's still hot&fresh. And believe me - this song is so damn good.
"The Brave" has everything what makes a rock song really awesome - great lyrics, cool sounds and five guys from the band who have a talent and you can really feel it while you're listening to their music. As for me it's important to feel the music, you know - magic inside the words and sounds. And guess what - you have it with this song and that's really cool.
In my opinion, this song is just perfect. Why? Because this song was and still is like a huge "booom!" and "woow" in one, something what makes that you want to listen to it non-stop and you want more and more. I think that's really good.
From August 31 I listened to this song hundreds of times and from that first time I just can't stop listening to "The Brave". Trust me, you will have the same when you only put "PLAY".
I can say only one thing - Guys, great job. Keep it up.
So.... are you ready to rock? Hope so.

Ladies and Gents, the Legend came to Poland again... and made the best show of this year. Of course this is my opinion, but I'm sure that people who were there will say the same. Gdańsk was His.
One word to describe this show? Damn, it would be hard to do even with the whole dictionary. In two words id could be: indescribable magic. Almost three hours full of his the best songs and amazing musical improvisations and a few surprised for his fans. Of course don't forget about people who enjoyed the moment dancing and singing with Lenny and of course that special atmosphere...
Epic evening.
Even if it's "Strut Live tour" it's something like "The best of the best with some new songs" and I think it was just awesome. Why? Because you could come back with memory to old good times and feel these sounds for real.
Also Lenny had a few surprised for the fans who came just for him, even from other countries. First was the walk amongst the crowd, not only in GC zone, but also in GA zone and seats. Woow.
Guess who was lucky enough and have a fast pics with Mr Kravitz... Yeap, me. The second surprise was signing tickets, CDs, posters during the last song. So who was the lucky one and got his autograph?
setlist
Frankenstein American Woman [The Guess Who cover] It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over Dancin' Til Dawn Sister Believe Always on the Run I Belong to You Let Love Rule Fly Away encore The Chamber Always on the Run
He promised he will come back to Poland soon and I hope I'll be able to see him again. Can't wait can't wait.

After a few long years HIM came back to Poland with two shows - in Warsaw and in Gdańsk. I was in Gdańsk and I don't regret it.
So who was there, in Gdańsk or in Warsaw or at any other showduring this tour? If you were there - you're awesome and I'm sure you had the same great time as I.
The show started about 7:30PM and finished about 9:30PM. Yes, two hours full of great music, awesome atmosphere and people who knew how to have a great time and enjoy the moment. Setlist was full of known well songs so I think that every person who came there was happy. Air at B90 wasn't hot only because the weather outside but because of great music inside the club. And that's just awesome.
I think that words "sold out" two days before the concert was a good example how awesome HIM is and also how indescribable this show was.
setlist
Buried Alive By Love Poison Girl The Kiss of Dawn Pretending Into the Night Killing Loneliness Scared to Death Your Sweet Six Six Six Join Me in Death Bleed Well In Joy and Sorrow All Lips Go Blue The Sacrament Rip Out the Wings of a Butterfly Gone With the Sin Wicked Game [Chris Isaak cover] Heartkiller Heartache Every Moment Tears on Tape Right Here in My Arms The Funeral of Hearts When Love and Death Embrace encore Rebel Yell [Billy Idol cover]
Now I'm waiting for their next show as they promised. Who knows, maybe they'll come back with the new album...
