If you are listening to the music from just one country or one continent, you can be lulled into thinking you are listening to the best of the music there is.
Now we have streaming services.
Since I subscribed to Spotify, I have listened to so much new/old/foreign countries/different genre.. and in love with so many of the artists.. Lo Fi Pop. I did not even know such a genre existed till I started listening to the Canadian singer Michele Gurevich (now living in Copenhagen). Incidentally I discovered Jacob Gurevitsch (no relation) who is Danish also on Spotify, I love his Lovers in Paris, reminded me of the beautiful aspects of my stay in that city of light and love.
Michele Gurevich has been an absolute pleasure to listen to. Interesting that there is a tinge of east European melancholy in her songs.
Perfect for these days of hope and melancholy. I feel all those people feeling isolated by this virus and its social restrictions.
Here is a video and I like the nostalgic look in this video, some of which may be biographical.
No one will ever know
The life we shared
The greatest romance of all time
Our little universe, our family
But now it’s only in my mind
Our life may not have been unusual
Like all the millions come before
But to us it meant everything
The greatest story ever told
And here’s the part
Where we are laughing
And drinking champagne
In a restaurant
(here’s the part, here’s the part)
Here’s the part
Where we are dancing
It’s like a postcard
In my heart
(here’s the part, here’s the part, here’s the part)
I pass the buildings
We once called home
The blueprints burned into my dreams
Where now new stories are written
Our love just one of many
Back when you looked just like a movie star
And I was also not too bad
I’ll keep that universe inside of me
And carry on the best I can
And here’s the part
Where we are laughing
And drinking champagne
In a restaurant
(here’s the part, here’s the part)
Here’s the part
Where we are dancing
It’s like a postcard
In my heart
(here’s the part, here’s the part)
