In the middle of the hottest summer, I feel all yellow, orange and red. 30 degrees in the sun, burning the ground, vividness beyond words. No, nothing left for me to do, but stay.
How poetic.

I have to admit I´ve had enough of the 50s vintage - at least
temporarily. I have four 50s dresses which I haven´t worn for over three
months. However, this jumpsuit I like, a lot. It´s easy and relaxed,
but beautfiul. And it suits the restiveness of this high summer.
I found it in a charity shop for four euros.
How perfectly can a song fit to this ambiance? This perfectly.
I´m sorry but the Spring has hit me. The songs I´m going to put here are nothing of the sort of a ballad. I still wouldn´t call them merry; they actually make me little dizzy.
I´d like to draw your attention to the brilliant lyrics of the song by Kate Bush. "Suddenly my feet are feet of mud. It all goes slo-mo. I don´t know why I´m crying. Am I suspended in Gaffa?"
How ingenious is that!?
Of course the lyrics seem partly jibberish, and I don´t know what they mean. I still relate to them.
I admit the video is a choreographic experiment and may seem weird to people who don´t dance. I kind of like it.
It´s advisable to listen to the song below ...let me say... 20 times.
I have to be turning a complete lunatic. Since when I´ve liked Blur? Maybe it is the unvincible combination of nerditude and attitude. But Sophie Ellis Bextor? This I cannot solve.
Oh, and as I said, I doubt anyone could feel merry after listening to these. Just dizzy. Very very dizzy...
One of my earliest loves is the mesmerizing, strangely beautiful voice of iconic Kate Bush. She is only singer in the world I´ve ever really considered my idol. Wish I could both sing and look like she did in the age of 17! Actually I have my mother to thank to get to listen to her even before I could talk. I probably wouldn´t like her music this much without the early exposure to it ;)
Oh, and I have to emphasize her huge influence on the pop music - I mean, who wouldn´t remember her adorably weird dance with the cello in Babooshka, back in the 80s? She was, and still is, the underground Madonna, with million times more talent. And I think she still beats Lady Gaga in peculiarity - watch the Wuthering Heights video!
I guess only imperfection in her music is that it has a certain component of some kind of shamanism, which I´m not so keen on. Well, nobody is perfect.
