Just.. 'disarming..'

One of the most amazing and disarming melodies I've heard..,

capable of exalt my very deep and pure emotions..

Rediscovering 'Billie Jean'

Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' was great without a doubt..

Always liked the lyrics and the story behind.., 'real life' for Michael Jackson when a fan claimed he was the father of her son.. 

In some way, for me, the lyrics just didn't match the rhythm.., but in 2008, Chris Cornell, ex-Soundgarden and ex-Audioslave made a great cover. 

And later, David Cook rocked on stage during American Idol 2008 competition, becoming the favorite to win that year competition..

Before listening these 2008 new versions, I never really felt how amazing Billie Jean was.., but it has become my favorite 2008 song, I just can't get enough of the sweet pain in my stomach and high emotions that take my breath away during his high vocals and amazing arregements..

Can't decide which version is the best, or which singer is the best..

Chris Cornell vs David Cook.. impossible to decide for me..

A night with Marc Anthony..

From Puerto Rico, with an impressive talent in one of my favorite genders of music, Marc Anthony was here in Lima tonight, with his perfect voice that creates amazingly melodious arrangements..

Me quedó cortísimo su concierto y sentí hervir mi sangre por más.., definitely I can not just listen to his musci, dancing is a MUST!

A pesar de que se esperaba mucho más de este concierto por la presencia de Willie Colón, quien no pudo estar por razones de salud, Marc Anthony, con su sencillez de siempre se ganó al público al decir que trataría de compensar la ausencia de Willie lo mejor que pudiera..

Sí, quizá yo esperaba un concierto de 3 horas donde estos 2 astros cantaran a dúo muchos clásicos y apasionaran a la gente con sus voces..., sin embargo, cuando escuché: 'Valió la pena' se me olvidó todo y lo único que quería era crear una super coreografía para bailar esa canción..

Volví a constatar que 'Te conozco bien' es una de mis favoritas y casi me muero cuando la escuché hacia el final del concierto.., me fascinó el arreglo de piano que escuché en 'Hasta ayer' (que me fascina también) y los timbales de 'Contra la corriente'.., realmente impresionante..; pero extrañé muchísimo la versión salsa de 'Ahora quién'..

Dejo aquí una de mis canciones favoritas y un clásico con la India :)

Tra te e il mare a Venezia

Almost without sleeping since monday 26 because of all the travel arrangements I wrote in the last post, I finally arrived to Venice..
Got the visas!!!!!!! and even if I almost die pulling around Paris all my 'one year' luggage, everything is on track..
Cheap flights not always land in the 'popular city', so I arrived to Venice at 10pm and it was very difficult to find a cheap hostal or B&B.., I had to keep carrying my bags around for 2 hours until I found something I could afford (35 euros), it was midnight!..

I was death.. but I couldn't waste this night!, my father told me Piazza San Marcos is beautiful at night and I wanted to take some pictures for him.. cause tomorrow night I will be in a train already.., so, I took my Ipod and I start walking.., suddenly, a song trapped me and you got into my mind..
After an hour walking I found a bote still working and I jumped in.., it was so strange and so beautiful, everything was dark, no people around, no movement.., Oh my God!, it seems like a ghost town, I loved it!, 2am.., totally alone in Piazza San Marcos, it was totally worthed and I thought a lot about my family..

I took some pictures for my father.. and I started my walk back..

This song doesn't want to let me go, and I know it has a reason..
It's just the moment for this song.., and as much as I love Laura Pausini, tonight, this song has been my travel partner and my closure, in some way..
It's 3:29am, and with 2005 almost ending, I think I will finally let this history to end..
"Con l'istinto di chi sa' amare.., 'preferisco dirti addio"

Tra te e il mare
