#43 Kõrsikud - Viimases jaamas


I lost my way into their concert tonight. Suddenly in a first row. For free.
It was their last album's presentation tour and the very last concert of it. Unfortunately were there very many uncertainties for me - they must have been tired or something else had happened - I didn't see this usual spark in their eyes and and excitement about giving a gig. But anyway, here is a song that I was able to remember due to its nice melody. Originally polish song, lyrics by Jaan Pehk.

#42 Taavi Otsus - Unistaja



Music helps me to fall asleep sometimes. I was listening to some random playlist in soundcloud last night and this song popped up: such a beautiful melody and familiar voice.

#40 Sting - I Saw Three Ships


My good old favorite reminded itself in a mall today. The music that plays is some certain shopping malls during Xmas time, is chosen by Estonian celebrities. This week was Kaire Vilgats's choice and I'm glad she picked this song in her list :) People around me already rolled their eyes and I see them not liking this song, but I do! Traditional Christmas carol from England actually.

#37 Lawson - Juliet


This must probably be the right Juliet song I was looking for couple of days ago. Not sure 100% anymore, how did it sound from radio that day, but this okay to listen, too :)
PS. I didn't add original video here on purpose, cause the scene that appears as a still picture, is a close-up of boobs. Well, no thank you.

#36 Jadis - Take these words


Since I was driving home for Xmas by car from Berlin to Estonia, we were forced to listen very different radio stations during our ride. I made many notes in my smartphone (as long as it was alive) to find some songs later and share them here. It's funny to see notes f.e. from 3.24 am and 5.55 am :) To be honest - my searches haven't been as successful as I imagined to, so here's probably a song that I wasn't actually looking for, but what I reached to during the searches. Progressive rock, that sounds a bit old-school (in the best sense!).

#35 Neil Halstead - Digging Shelters


When all the rest of Berlin is going to see new Hobbit movie in cinemas these days, I went to see "Enough said" yesterday. Easy plot, but I liked it though. One restful song from this film (plus I like the video :).

#34 London Grammar - Wasting My Young Years


I was so sure I'm not going to post any London Grammar songs here, but this one has been playing in different radio stations so much lately, that it's becoming sound good already. Otherwise I didn't see anything special in this band and did not understand the flow and commotion around them. Sounded like any other indie/alternative band that I do not distinguish from the rest.

#31 Royal Wood - Juliet


I heard a good song from random radio station and the only thing I was able to remember of it, unfortunately, was a name: Juliet /Juliette (the rest was typical: come on, I love you -bla, so basically useless in searches). My investigations didn't bring be song I was looking for, but I met this tune instead.

#30 Nina Simone - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free


I could swear the beginning of this songs sounds exactly like Liisi Koikson's "Sel ööl":

(Click on the play button in front of third song: Sel ööl)
Every single time when Nina Simone's song starts playing in radio, I sing "Sel ööl" along with it.
Matches so bad and I wonder how does the composer of Sel ööl melody feel if he knew it :)

#25 Me And My Drummer - Phobia


Every song from this artist makes me want to turn melancholic, but on the other hand I like the timbre of the singer's voice so bad, that I just keep and keep listening their songs. I was actually about to post another song from them, yet changed my mind. Now "Rain Kids" started to play and it's also damn good.

#23 Bosse - 3 Millionen


Random video that showed itself up in Youtube suggestions. Oh that video is exactly with this vibe that Berlin has given me now (filmed on a cold November day, which doesn't differ from the weather these days). Sometimes I really wish I had a bundle of colorful balloons to bring some color to current surrounding. This is a cliche, but Bosse is also one of those German artists, that I started to listen in Hamburg as one of the first German ones at all. So whenever he starts to sing in his beautiful language, I feel a bittersweet *flick* ...

#17 Dobré - Going Under


This one sounds like the average good radio- and background song (in its most positive term). Always when I hear it, it brings me good mood and the joy of recognition. That's why I'm surprised again - only a bit over 4000 listens in Spotify. People who follow my tumblr, know I have an issue with clapping in songs. I adore clapping and even though this song consist only few of them, they attracted my attention.

#11 Die Happy & Johannes Strate - Whatever


I'm sharing some-german-thing today. First of all, the name of the band seemed too funny, not to take a look at their music. Quick search says they are German alternative metal band, lol. "Whatever" is whatever else, but metal :) Well, this particular song actually consist two nice tunes: "Whatever" and "Halt dich an mir fest" (original: Revolverheld). It's live and audience sings along. Good!

#9 Bell X1 - The Great Defector


No problem finding a song to share today :)
Piece of this tune was used in a commercial that randomly played in radio. Catched only one line from lyrics, all-mighty-google gave me the song and artist as an answer. Melody is just so happy and brings me good mood. And repeat button it is! :-)

#7 Adele - Set Fire To The Rain


Nothing new today. Just a song, that is "so yesterday" for most of  the people, probably.
Just my 8-years-old ward put on Adele's CD on during a dinner a while ago. Of course I had heard those songs before, but this time they somehow impressed me more; good speakers had their role in it, I guess. Or who am I fooling - I just got stuck into lyrics and focused what Adele is saying there. They just damn match with my life at the moment too much...

#3 Arthur Beatrice - Grand Union


A song "found" from my ex-housemate's playlist. From the first time on, I wanted to sing along to this nice melody, but didn't know the lyrics. Checked them today from Google, but couldn't remember properly. Even though I didn't listen to this song for a while, it still kept haunting me. Good thing is that I was never annoyed by this tune playing in my mind. It's just that awesome.

#1 KT Tunstall - Heal Over



Since cleaning service lady wanted to clean my flat on Saturday and my presence was so inappropriate in whatever room there, I escaped to Estonian cafe Jää-äär in Berlin. Good coffees and the most important- wifi that works perfectly!

Besides that, the music they play here is so pleasant. Some familiar artists and some new tunes (at least for me). This is how I find MY new favorites :)
