La Musique

Lately I been accompanied by this playlist:

10. Dolphins (Fred Neil)

Funny that I got this song two weeks before I went to P. Bidadari early this month. There, my point finger was almost crushed by a hungry dolphin. the dolphins live in a very narrow tank. I don't blame them. They must have been stressed or hungry. Dolphins should be free!

9. Jerusalem (that choir)

When everyone seemed to pay attention only to the bride and the groom (that Royal Wedding), I paid attention to the trees inside the church and the music. this old piece is sweet: "Bring me my bow of burning gold, bring me my arrows of desire...bring me my chariot of fire!" Chariot of fire. imagine. no visa no tickets. faster than the speed of light.

8. Don’t Leave Home (Dido)

Every time I go on a trip, she sings “Oh don’t leave home…don’t leave home…”

7. Driftwood (Aselin Debison)

Love her version better than Travis’. “Driftwoods hollow and of no use…” au contraire! When I went holidaying at Pulau Macan, I found driftwoods ever useful. Lovely song anyway.

6. God Bless the Child (Shania Twain)

Lately I been falling in love with the sound of guitar plucking. This song has banjo plucking.

5. Mirando (Ratatat)

When I need something upbeat, this song wakes all nerves. It takes away tiredness and set my feet to dancing. 

4. Morning Has broken (Nikita Boldyrev)

Among Earth’s phenomena, morning is the best. To witness a big red ball rising from an the “edge” of the sea, to listen to black sea birds chirping, and listen to the wind through the conifers are blissful. This Boldyrev’s version is cool: guitar plucking and violin weeping.

3. overpowered (Roisin Murphy)

The song is very biological: “your data, my data…the chromosome match”

2. Brothers (Enniol Morricone)

Taken from The Mission soundtrack. It’s another brilliant piece of guitar plucking.

1. My Friends (Red Hot Chili Pepper)

A reminder to be happy a bit more often: “prison phone…give her seven years for being sad”
