The Flossy Flossy
Keeping it “on the real” the best I can.Archive for April 15, 2009
我为什么不是 Джок?
我刚浏览完 бельгийский Томас 的春假照片。不知道他在 Пасха 居然也去了 Берген 和西挪威。但虽然我们俩去一样的地方，我们有不同的 опыт。你可能在那儿想，”废话！” 对，你是在根本不能比较我和他。我们俩是不一样的人，有不一样的爱好，юмор，和性格。这个我早就明白了，但是–为什么呀？
我已经对自己承认我不是一个 джок，也永远不会变成一个。不管我活多少年，我也不会对 девушек，球儿，和车有兴趣。不管我跟 Иоаким 住多久，我也不会喜欢 хип-хоп 和 рэп。但是我总是问自己：为什么不可以呢？每个人的爱好都是”学”出来的。我本来生下来的时候没有喜欢唱歌，我是”学”会爱唱的，对不对？所以我为什么不能学会去爱篮球，啤酒，《Сплетница》？为什么不能学会享受跟 Иоаким，Томас，甚至其他的 мальчики 在一起，跟他们配合？
我知道我是我，和他们是他们。我知道对自己诚实是最重要的。我知道人就是这样的复杂和不同。但我还有时候感觉这个 жизнь 太孤独了。我有时候真不喜欢走这到路。没有人可以陪我走吗？
More Music
Here are some of my recent favorites: there are a lot!
Marit Larsen If a Song Could Get Me You
It doesn’t matter how crappy or low I’m feeling: this song never fails at cheering me up. Larsen’s voice is young and breezy and the music accompanies her sound perfectly. The best Norwegian pop I’ve heard so far, despite it being in English.
Tori Amos A Case of You
I first came upon this song years ago, around junior high, but I guess I wasn’t old enough to truly appreciate its lyrical genius, which I’ll let speak for itself:
I remember that time you told me
“Love is touching souls”
Surely you touched mine
‘Cause part of you pours out of me
in these lines from time to time…
Well I could drink a case of you, darlin’,
and I would still be on my feet
Hyori Lee/이효리 Toc Toc Toc/톡톡톡
First heard it on a YouTube video of Honey Lee, Miss Korea Universe 2007. (She was my favorite that year, and in my opinion, the best. Anyway, that’s beside the point.) But I managed to find a video with the English translations, and the lyrics are actually quite clever. It’s fun, it’s sexy, and it’s Korean. ‘Nuff said.
Katie Melua Nine Million Bicycles
“It is a simple juxtaposition of a trivial idea–nine million bicycles–against an important idea–I will love you ’till I die.” Her voice is honey to my ears, and to put it simply: she had me at Beijing. In fact, there is a bamboo flute solo in there that actually stirs up some nostalgia within me. It’s the perfect song to drift off to.
