Long goodbyes...

I've loved this song from India Arie entitled Long Goodbye, from the first time I heard it. It's lyrics are simple and its written by someone who has truly loved and lost. It speaks about relationships - both good beginnings and endings...put up the volume of your speakers and feel the music and melodies of one truly great artist.

Speaking for love

On a light note, I came upon the CD of Traincha, which carried the title Who'll Speak for Love at Fully Booked in Serendra. I fell in love with the CD. Traincha sings the songs so clearly and euphorically that you can actually feel the melodies of Burt Bacharach's music. Traincha's music is endearing and you can log in to her site at www.traincha.com if you want to know more about her. The picture above shows her ticket to her performance in Tokyo, Japan at the end of the month (at $90USD per head!).

Moving on...there is one song here, the carrier song of the album with the same title, which I want to share with all.

For those unfamiliar with the song, take 4 minutes of your time to listen to it in the solace of a quite space and let it embrace you.

The lyrics are so beautiful that I can relate to the song. It's for that special someone who has made us feel loved, needed, and fought for the very essence of what a truly meaningful relationship is. Indeed, love is not only through the good times, but those difficult moments, those struggles in your relationship, that journey towards both your dreams.

Enjoy the music. Most of all, find the meaning and essence in the lyrics. Just click on to this podcast to hear the complete song. http://profile.imeem.com/KD7skde/music/7I8IRhfG/traincha_wholl_speak_for_love/
