(I wanna write something along the lines of "enjoy" but it feels a bit off.)
1) Flutes - Hot Chip
My birthday. Best birthday of my life hands down, no-nonsense, simply and utterly awesome. My people, old friends, new friends, good friends. Pisco, ginger ale and a sociopath kión. Choclito con queso, falling in and out of love with Medicine and a perfect birthday kiss. Life's good when i make it so. Welcome back to the #feelgoodinc.
2) The Call - Backstreet Boys
Old! Yes, B, B. So many groups start with the letter B. You know there's a button for it to be random, right? How come it always comes back to B? Dunno. I like it though. I even sing along, no shame involved.
3) Crosstown Traffic - Jimi Hendrix
You know when you like someone, and the way they make you feel? It doesn't just happen as an egocentric phenomenon. I like someone, and the way it makes my friend feel; i like the way she's so happy and so in love; i love the way serendipity works. Yeah, sometimes i get a little envious of it not working for me, and a very big culprit is Facebook pics, but hey. She loves him, and he loves her. And i damn like it that way.
4) Winter Winds - Mumford & Sons
And my head told my heart, let love grow. But my heart told my head, this time no. You know, we all know people come, and people go. But i'm pretty sure Uriel, looking down upon all of us, realizes much more than we do that our paths are the least alike to a straight line. We meet, we get lost, we fall into despair only to find each other a while afterwards. It's not easy, and by God it is not quick. But it happens. Or not.
5) Llorarás - Óscar de León
I don't need a reason, and i will give none.
6) Can't find my way home - Blind Faith
She left. It was for a good thing and we were both in the same journey, but she left and that left a void. No more clever coffees while reading path/ trying to figure out what formula had been written in RED. I mean, she's my friend, and i miss her. That's all there is to say.
7) Rival Healer - Burial
New Music, yes, please. It had been a long time since i had just put on a playlist and walked my way along el Malecón. It had been way too long since i just pressed "repeat" and kept on walking.
8) Nevereverdid - Architecture in Helsinki
9) Feeling Good - Nina Simone
"Sal, God has arrived", said Dean Moriarty. It was 1949 and the place didn't matter, nor the time, or the drinks. What mattered was the way they blew, and the blew well. They felt it, they chased it, got it, lost it, and they had the nerve to chase it again. It was jazz, it was good, it was all that was needed. It was God. And, for me that week, She was in Punta Sal.
10) Let it go - Idina Mendel
I do have a sister. But it's not the same, you know? Twenty-two years is a long time to know someone, and ten is hell of a long time to wait. It's the whole story, the whole truth, the whole... whole. Carmen never gave up on me, and deep down i know i never gave up on her. We just had to let it go. Live it out. Eventually each one found the path that led us back home.
11) Use Somebody - Kings of Leon
You know that i could use somebody. Someone like you, with all you know and how you speak.
It was a Thursday, at night. We were lying on the grass watching the movie play against the white ecran, beneath the stars. It was slow, it was poetic, and it didn't need to be much else than that.
13) Young men dead - The Black Angels
14) Quand tu m'aimes - Charles Aznavour
Let's indulge in some movie-watching, shall we? I mean... i still do like movies. Yes, i know that there's still a big chunk of music that's on my (metaphorical) iPod that was downloaded because i wanted to impress someone and i ended up liking it, but there is an even bigger chunk that i downloaded because i liked it and i didn't need to impress anyone. There's a whole, whole lot of me that's not because i met anybody else but me. And i like this song, and i like Charade. You know what else? I downloaded Shoot the Piano Player, and i'm gonna watch it. Today.
