Okay, this is the part where I begin with a deeply emotional story on how much the song has meant in my life. Truth is, until yesterday, I had never heard of this song. I was a bit lost on what to post this week, but I didn’t want to …
“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow. Today is the right day to Love, Believe, Do and mostly Live.” ― Dalai Lama XIV If there’s something I’m good at, it’s worrying. Ruminating over what …
There was only one option for a song about a girl’s name with an S: Salome by the German band Saltatio Mortis. It’s one of my favourite songs by this band. When I first encountered them at a festival, they would perform this song, and I loved it from the …
‘Radio’ by Rammstein You can rest assured, this is a decent song by Rammstein. No sex or violence, just a story of what the radio meant to the members when they lived in the communist times in East Germany. I chose this song because of how it’s set up musically. …

When I saw this week’s prompt was ‘coffee,’ I looked forward to writing the post all week. There was only one song possible: ‘Le Cafe’ by Oldelaf. Years ago, we were notified of this song by a friend of my husband’s. My husband and I both love coffee and will …
Almost. I almost chose this song a few weeks ago when the prompt was ‘colour,‘ since the song ‘Tinta’ by Faun is one of my favourite love songs ever. I find most love songs to be too sappy and boring, but this one isn’t. I can’t find any evidence of …
