I put a spell on you

Screamin Jay Hawkins was such a performer! This song is so hilarious yet so forward for the times in which it was made! The video was performed with taboo themes for the time.

Many other singers have tried to make it their own. I like Nina Simone's version of the song too. So beautiful. Love this song.

Golden music

I love some of the "classic" music. And I was in the mood to re-listen to a few of the olden goldies, my all time favorites!

This is probably one of my favorite songs of all times. So soothing and relaxing. Something, I would probably listen to before going to bed.

I love these fun numbers by Connie Francis. I feel "Lipstick on your collar" is one of the evergreen songs that won't go out of fashion. My grand children will probably enjoy this song in their time (I hope!).

"Itsy bitsy teeny weeny" is like a cute childhood kind of song!

Michael Buble has sung "Dream a little dream of me". I love the song. It reminds me of the war time, sort of. These songs have beautiful words. I love them!

The English Patient

I watched The English Patient (1996). It is such a beautifully made movie by director Anthony Minghella. It is a story made from the novel of the same name by Michael Ondaatje.

The movie is the story of a Hungarian Count, Almasy (Ralph Fiennes, wonderful Voldemort!), who is cared for by American allies during the World War II. I can't actually remember too much of who and what happened in the real war. In this movie, Almasy is an archaeologist and is on an expedition in Egypt and Libya. He has an affair with a married English woman. The story reveals his anguish, hurt and pain due to the course of events that unfold in his life as a result of it. Juliette Binnoche, Kristin Scott Thomas, Colin Firth and William Dafoe are the other actors.

Well, I am a sucker for romantic dramas. But, this post is mainly for my love of music. I especially liked this Hungarian folk song, which is played so many times in the movie. It is hauntingly beautiful!



Sometimes, music seems so meaningful without even understanding the words. As someone said "you don't need words for the music; you just need a soul". Sometimes it appeals to us because of our pathos when we listened to the song for the first time. But, somehow, I have a feeling that regardless of the movie, I would have still loved this song, if I ever came across it. I can find the words and meaning of the song. But, I do not want to. I would leave it as it is. So beautiful!

Run the world (Girls)- Beyonce

I was listening to Beyonce. I had not heard this song before. Is she unique! All that funny dancing and music is quite looney. What do you think?
