A toast: to new beginnings

I am a woman of many interests in her life. It's hard trying to balance it all. But there is something that I just cannot seem not to do, and that is writing about music. And why not? I've already had tinnitus for years since I listen to music all the time. And yes, maybe my tinnitus is caused by the fact that I didn't use any earplugs until I was 25 or something. Anyway. Here I am again, starting a new blog (this is my forth, not counting musicstage.se that I used to work for), but this time it's personal! What I mean is that there is not going to be any theme for this blog. I'll write about anything that comes to mind. This blog will be my musical confession, and English shall be my language of choice! Now, let's begin.

Have you heard Young Galaxy? Or maybe more importantly, have you seen their music videos? This one, Sleepwalk with me, is one of their most finest. It is as beautifully animated as it is poeticly portrayed. The story in the video is inspired by a story about the relationship between two soldiers during the Second World War, called "Letter to a G.I.", published in 1953. Brazilian director Fabricio Lima, the man behind this video, has really managed to capture a heartwarming, dreamy atmosphere that goes perfectly with the song. I keep watching this video over and over and over...
