Mellow Marshmallow

This is what I did all day today! I missed making music so much, so making this was fun! I made some music yesterday too, another song that was a gift to someone very close to my heart. <3

Today's song is in Italian! It's called Dolce Follia, by the Spanish group La Oreja De Van Gogh. They are my favorite group in the world. (Sorry, Tokio Hotel! :P)

That's me singing and playing the piano! I used minimal effects -- just some reverb and frequency enhancement on the vocals.

Listen to it here!

The lyrics are so beautiful. She's singing about selling everything she owns -- front row seats to an unforgettable concert, the melody to a song she wrote, the script for a movie she wants to make, a camera full of photos she took of places she's visited, all of her memories, all her stories, everything she has.

She's selling everything to pay off some unnamed life debt so she can see her loved one again, because she can't live "without his/her sun, moon, and sweet insanity." She only sees her loved one in dreams anymore, dreams in which she chases his/her ghost and never catches it. "The memory of your embrace is like the fleeting touch of moonlight on this roof, this roof I want to throw myself off of because I can't live without your sun, your moon, your sweet insanity." The song ends about her going on one last chase from which she will never return.

It tells such a beautiful, sad story, and the song is beautiful too!

These songs lift my spirits when I'm down. ^_^

Brand New Reason by Fleet

Eternally enchanted by these guys. Alvaro in the upper left needs to stop being so adorable. This was last year's message.



....And this was this years message. When Xavier popped up I squealed and flutterclapped.

Niña, si esta cancion no la hubiera sacado la oreja y la ubieras sacado tu en ingles... aun asi me encantariaaaa.. de verdad te quedo perfecta y es cierto no es el exacto sentimiento pero el que tu le das es uno nuevo y diferente... eso hace un interprete... excelente te felicito.. me gusto tanto que en cierto punto la empece a cantar XD

Girl, if this song wasn't released by "la oreja de van gogh" and was made by you, in english, I would still love it! It's true, you did so perfect... and sure, it's not the exact feeling like the original; but what you give it is something new and different... You made an interpretation. Excellent-- congratulations! I liked it so much that at one point I started to sing along! XD

I am tickled pink! Thanks so much to this person for brightening my night~ People leave the nicest comments on my song, maybe because lodvg fans are more sophisticated judging from their taste in music.

When I hear songs I love, I usually describe them as having an eargasm. It really is like an eargasm. I stop whatever I'm doing and throw my head back. Sometimes I moan loudly, "Oh, sooo goood!" And then it's over. This is an adequate picture description of the feeling. It's crazy -- it's a physiological response to hearing something that's neat sounding.

Quiza mi nombre es nuevo para ti, quiza mi voz tan solo son palabras
Quizas tus labios dudan frente a mi, no saben que me besaron cada manana
Me ves y no me miras, me oyes sin eschuchar
Y yo como una nina otra vez me vuelvo a enamorar
Confia en mi, volveremos a cruzarnos por la playa
y volvera a llevarse el viento mi paraguas
Y otra ves podras poner sobre mi espalda tu jersey
Y otra vez, no hara falta decir nada

Vuelve a sonreir
A recordar Paris...
A ser mi angustia
Dejame pasar una tarde mas...

noche de paz
noche de amor
clara estrella brilla ya
y los angeles cantando estan
gloria a dios, gloria al rey celestial
duerme el nino jesus
duerme el nino jesus

noche de paz
noche de amor
todo duerme alrededor
solo velan en la oscuricad
los pastores que en el campo estan
y la estrella en belen
y la estrella en belen

noche de paz
noche de amor
nueva luz celestial
florencio la feliz navidad
es palabra y mensaje de paz
duerme el nino jesus
duerme el nino jesus
