Norway Talents

so this is something like a late reaction epiphany...

I just realized that I have a thing for Norwegian talents...Silje Nergaard to start with...I'm obsessed about her song "Fall" the very first time I heard it on radio airplay, then came, College Monster moments and late night listening to DJ Tom Alvarez haha...I've become a D'Sound fanatic and then lately in my late twenties, I am in love with Maria Mena's songs and of course, not to mention M2M pop duo, although I have to admit, I am way too old for their style. Not that I am obsess with them, I just have to mention them since they're from Norway and because I think they're actually good too.

this photo: watching D'Sound during rehearsal at MOA, front seat ako lalo na libre, buy ka lang ng album nila. good thing , I was listening to WAVE then, and heard them advertised about their little gig at MOA I just have to be there...thinking without thinking yay, called in from work, umaandar na naman ang “id principle,” with zadee and Anna on tow, I went to Manila, to see them. :)

Loving Will Downing

Ikaw na!!!

from his versions of I don't wanna lose you, Stop, Look and Listen...and The Nearness of You...just love, love, love his voice. So I finally found another of his song that I like, arggh CityLite, magbalik na kayo sa ere...

remembering zadee's preschool days

I could still remember her excitement during her first day of school...and me still groggy from my 2 am work. She's actually 2 weeks absent since I can't take her to school because of work until I resigned. Thankful, that her teacher understands my scenario.

When we're at school as she entered the classroom, I took a seat along with my co-stage mama moms...asking them infos about what to buy and then the payments I need to settle...then the classroom door opened, a boy is crying, zadee, seated on the front row saw me through the ajar door and started crying as well [hala patay] sympathetic cry ba yan, anak, so crying is contagious din pala [ang bilis ng domino reaction]...I was asked to stay inside their classroom...surrounded by preschool kids for three days in a row until she has finally able to adapt and catched up in the class.

Then, one day, her teacher talked to me about how fast she has improved and the way she excel, then she was asked to represent in the art contest for the Children's Congress and representing her school again for the Bright Child of the Year...and she won the title.. enough of my proud mama mouth

Gerald Albright, my kind of Barry White

Yes! his songs,

and a collaboration with Will Downing with his deep baritone voice that I fell in love with... 
BTW I love the metronome intro on this video 
It's my first time seeing this one. I've listen to this song all the time and it’s always on my playlist 

I just love Will Downing. It is definitely his voice...he sings his own versions and make them classic and timeless...just the way he did with,The Nearness of You and I don't wanna lose you. 
I guess I am mushy this way

Real Love by Paulinho Da Costa

If I would pick something romantic...this would be the one I like

sigh sigh palooza lol

Dreamwalkin' by Eric Tagg and Lee Ritenour

How could I not post this song?
I guess if I could pick one song that I would like to hear in my dreams...
this would be it!
I always sleep with the radio on, back then...it's amazing!!!
that even in the busiest times of my R.E.M, I would hear this song in my sleep
I recall hearing it many times at KLite. The DJ must really like this song.
I am glad he do. Eric Tagg did another version of this...a few tweaks with the lyrics
and it's a little more solemn but I prefer this one.
I was able to purchase a smoothjazz album: Lite Jazz Moments
and I was so excited to play it at home but I got Eric Tagg's version, instead.
Thanks to the Internet, I found the verson that I like.
But I guess, if If I feel sad, I sometimes like to listen to the other version.

another song that I like from Lee Ritenour is Is it You? love them love them :)

Sunlight

One of my favorite SmoothJazz artists that I love to listen to at CityLite is Michael Tomlinson,

I fell in love with his song "Sunlight..." the very first moment I've listen to it. And I wait and I wait and I wait for them to play it on air. I've tried to purchase the album and rummage through record stores...searching for it at the smoothjazz aisle but it was not there and I've been hopeless for such a long time...so I'm done with the blanktape sagas during Highschool...then came the CDs era...hmmm I have my Greenhills buy of smoothjazz selections but it's still different hearing it on the radio. There are also two songs that I really like from him...another one is Highway Rain and also Dawning On The New Day. I could just listen to his songs all day...he just have this soothing voice...[sayang medyo napasarap sya sa pagyodel sa acoustic version na'to]
