Arabic Traditional Music (link)

33 minutes of traditional Arabic music. Listening to this collection, I feel like I'm in a souk in a Middle Eastern country in some steampunk-themed film. Cue the chase scene through the marketplace.

Heart and Soul

After watching series of random Simpsons episodes today, I stumbled on an old classic. A beautiful song that is quite popular, but I never actually got to know its title until now.

It's "Heart and Soul", a popular song of the 1930s, composed by Hoagy Carmichael and Frank Loesser. It was (and still is) a popular piano duet other than Chopsticks. This song has been covered by many singers and bands, but my personal favourite would be an amateur video of someone playing this song on a ukulele.

Lyrics to this song:

Heart and soul, I fell in love with you,
Heart and soul, the way a fool would do,
Madly...
Because you held me tight,
And stole a kiss in the night...

Heart and soul, I begged to be adored,
Lost control, and tumbled overboard,
Gladly...
That magic night we kissed,
There in the moon mist.

Oh! but your lips were thrilling, much too thrilling,
Never before were mine so strangely willing.

But now I see, what one embrace can do,
Look at me, it's got me loving you,
Madly...
That little kiss you stole,
Held all my heart and soul.

p/s-The Simpsons episode I referred earlier was "Gone Maggie Gone" (S20E13).

Roy Zimmerman, satirist

Just found about this guy today by accident. Roy Zimmerman is a funny liberal satirist musician. Like Stephen Colbert, but with a guitar.

This is one funny song about Ann Coulter.

Saja-saja 1

This is me posting something for the sake of posting. Sorry I haven't given enough time to uploading this blog because of assignments and my academic exercise. Trust me, I have opinions on some things that should be put here, like religion, book reviews, debates on history, the tiniest issues that would hurt Pharisees and their moralising.

Maybe when I have the free time.

So here it is. A song I discovered by accident on Youtube a few days ago. It kicks ass (or whatever that words mean in Polish--because this is a Polish song).

It's by T. Love, called Ajrisz.
