There are some songs that perfectly match some moods. This one perfectly matches up with how I’ve been feeling for the last week or so:

Ignore the video and just sit back and listen to the song. I don’t know what she’s singing about or in what language (if any), but the mood that at least *I* get out of it perfectly matches my own.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Talk about something that should have been on one of the
“Pure Moods” albums from the 80’s and 90’s.
Koshka is kind of a personal loss for me, partly because she had Russian name :'(
Don’t know, if you believe in reincarnation – at least in cat’s life,- but we just have these http://s56.radikal.ru/i151/1010/ef/0735a41c0162.jpg
Scott? The pipes. The Campbells Are Coming, in lower arpeggio, 1/4 time. Or Mad World, Gary Jules.
It is the Scots/Irish/Basque ancestry in me that loves a good dirge.
I also wanted to say that last year about this time I was going
through a bout of depression myself and thought that
“Texarkana” by R.E.M. was a good theme song for me.
“Scots/Irish/Basque”?
Well, if you read the old Irish folk stories, they do seem to imply that they thought Ireland was directly attached to England at its lower end, England was attached to Spain somehow, and once you hit the eastern border of Spain you would then be at Greece’s western border. This wouldn’t be odd around 100 AD, but a lot of those stories date from around 1500-1600 AD, indicating that once you got inland the Irish had not a clue about the real geography of the world. 😀
The odd thing about Greece showing up in the stories again and again is that the Irish Gaelic language is a wildly modified version of Greek, making one wonder if this is something that goes back to the time of Alexander The Great and his empire.
