Dreaming my dreams

It's 3 a.m. and I can't seem to be able to sleep. Grey's Anatomy season 7 just started and whenever I watch that show it gets me thinking. Thinking about a million things. Thinking until my head hurts and the sheets on my bed are on the floor. And tonight the recurring thought is 'loneliness'. Eventually, I'll fall asleep all those thoughts will make their way into my dreams.

There's no particular reason for choosing this song, it just popped into my head. Kinda fits I guess. Good night and may you have the sweetest dreams of all!

Whole Lot Of Leavin'

The warm summer nights are gone and the autumn wind is creepin' in. For the past three years it's been my cue to leave. And sure enough it's time to go. The past couple of days I've been thinking a lot about leaving. Thing is, I never seem to be going anywhere; I always leave from somewhere. The second I start loving a particular place and start feeling like myself, I have to leave. And that one thought keeps following me: "Oh how I wish I could stay a bit more...". Sure enough, the same applies to the people in my life. As soon as I meet someone amazing, they leave. Everyone keeps leaving. Does anyone get to stay behind?
Yesterday evening, I was in a hurry and I picked up the first album I found: Lost Highway by Bon Jovi. I get into my car, push play and leave. Track 4 starts playing as I'm stuck in traffic - Whole Lot Of Leavin'. I'd forgotten how much I love that tune and as soon as I hear the first chords everything else disappears. So I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine. I picture the whole summer. Everyone I met, and everyone who left. I picture the past year. And it's been a long year. I picture everything and smile. I'm leaving with a smile on my face because somehow this day, this summer, this year, has a nice ending.

"Whole Lot Of Leavin'" is off Bon Jovi's album Lost Highway, released in 2007. It's their tenth studio album, mixing the band's rock sound with that of country music. The result? It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

So...

So I finally made up my mind. The result being this blog, as you can see. Took a while, even though I've been meaning to do it for about a year now. Anyway, enough about that.
The idea is to share my music, my thoughts, with you. Music is an essential part of my life and in some ways, of me. I can't really go through a day without it. It brings me joy and smiles, it makes me cry, it makes me lonely and it keeps me company. It gets me through the rough times and makes me love the good ones even more. It's the sole thing in my life that I can be sure of. There's always a particular song that will suit my state of mind. And it never fails.
I want to share that with you, if you're willing. I'll play my music and you can sit back and enjoy. I might write something about each song and about how it makes me feel. And maybe you feel the same way. Or you don't. Either way, I hope that each and everyone of you can find what you're looking for. Whether it be in music, or not...

I leave for the moment with one of my favourite songs and hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
