#348 OK Go - I Won't Let You Down

-Why?

It's all about the video (again)! I watched over and over again, cause I just couldn't believe what was happening (by the video goes on, the crazier it gets).

#347 Trio - Da Da Da

-Why?

We are getting cultivated here in German language lessons! :D

Our teacher showed us some examples of different decades of German music and the one here is hilarious, bloody "emotional" and with an extremely rich lyrics. Enjoy! I just can't stop laughing...

#346 Tim Bendzko - Es geht wieder vorbei

-Why?

I'm a little sad today. I knew, that Tim Bendzko was playing in a concert hall about 100 m away from my house here in Berlin tonight and the concert, with "fancy" prices for tickets, was sold out already for months. I went to my regular jogging to Tiergarten after work and I had to pass the concert hall to reach there. You can now just imagine, how "cool" it was to sweat around the house, where, I know, that he is standing on a stage and singing my favorite songs at this very moment. (And on the next moment, I pass the homeless people on street, grilling potatoes on one-time grill & freezing in sleeping bag, which makes me think, that we are all the damn same human beings, how did it come to this gap, that one of us is so glorified and the other next to, is literally just trying to stay alive at all...). Yeah...what was I actually about to say...? I missed the concert. Es is weider vorbei gegangen...

Can't wait to be rich and fast for next lives.

#345 Black Rivers - The Ship

-Why?

I got into this weird flow this evening - I just felt an urge to clean literally my whole flat. So, I turned on some music and...there it went! The instrumental from "The Ship" hypnotized me.

Exceptional post: Intelligence related to the type of music you listen to

I found this study circling around in social media. A bit unsophisticated and robust survey, but with interesting results. To pick up the artists, just Facebook preferences (liked in FB) were used and to compare the intelligence level, SAT results were considered (SAT test is standardized test widely used for college admissions in US).

#337 Beatsteaks - Everything Went Black

-Why?

Early morning today, when I was on my way to school, I stopped with couple of other people at the traffic lights. Next to me stood a man with a bunch of letters in his hand. He held them so, that I was able to read the addressee on the envelope. There stood: Sony Music Entertainment. At the moment, when I had a little "Oh, cool!" thought in my mind, the traffic lights turned green and we were allowed to cross the street. The man was faster than me and got some steps ahead, so I could read a logo on the back of his sweater: Beatsteaks. "Gentleman of the year," I thought.

Since I've shared that song here already, welcome "Everything went black" this time. :)

#336 Henning Wehland - Crazy About You

-Why?

Today's choice is easy: I share something from Henning Wehland just because I met him randomly at one beergarden here in Berlin. This lovely and warm person seen in TV just walked towards me, hehe :) If he wasn't leaving by bike and beer in his hand by the time I had just arrived, I would have definitely asked a photo with him. This was such a strange moment for me - I was so happy to finally see and recognize some German celebrity myself... I mean, my friends, who have been living in Germany longer than me, would probably recognize more people (that I do not know) and my friends back in Estonia know nothing about famous people in Germany. I really wanted to share my merriness and joy with somebody, but with whom? Nah...

Very homemade piece of recording, but the better it passes on my emotion. And I didn't know he is left-handed :)

Henning Wehland - Crazy About You

#335 Kadebostany - Castle in the Snow

-Why?

I heard this song from TV tonight, it was playing as a background music from some... commercial? show? Oh, I really don't know anymore what it actually was. The verse (or the beginning half) is very different from the chorus, that I just fell in love with and can't stop crooning now. So beautiful (and simple)! I can hear the birds, I can see them fly...

Captivating voice in the chorus, I respect each and every one who can "yodelin" like that. And I can't forget the piano, of course.

#331 Maarja-Liis Ilus & Rolf Roosalu - The Prayer

-Why?

Last days have been though for Estonians - we have lost many great people: a longtime TV-producer, a conductor-showman, a famous singer. Why is the grim reaper in hurry!? :'/

I share on a song, that a man-singer in this current video shared in social media today. In the memory of Tarmo Leinatamm - the conductor in this performance.

#330 Mine - Raus raus raus

-Why?

I was desperately seeking for some new music, that would touch or mean something to me. Something, that makes my ears "shimmer" and my mouth mumble: "Oh!". To be honest, I didn't meet "the one" tonight, but this short (2:39!) and concrete piece of music, telling mostly la-la-la, alleviates the emptiness.
