The Lake

Beautiful I have this fascination with lakes…..

They remind of  life that is  pure, dreamy and whimsical……….

The Swan Lake ~ Tchaikovsky

My personal favorite….

A Masterpiece in my books……

This piece is so beautiful that it brings out the child in me… Powerful music nonetheless……and I never get tired of it…

As a child I remember having a key ring which had a tiny music box attached to it…I don’t remember the tune on it….but I know I loved it……it belonged to my Aunt……I bet she doesn’t remember ever having one…

You could turn the little copper key and it made a beautiful sound that would fascinate this child for hours….How I wish I could remember the tune …..I hate and regret the  fact I lost something, that I know now I would have cherished……A piece of my childhood ……. fragment of  my memory…….

I  still collect music boxes…..as an act of repentance……I have a couple…. and I know I could never trade them for anything in this world….

My friend sent her mum something like a music box….. I remember the tune distinctly it had the swan lake on it……. it was beautiful…………how badly I wished I had it…..

I have searched in vain for that swan lake music box……..yet to find one….

I still walk around market places searching quaint little second-hand shops in the hope that one day I will find a swan lake music box ….

One day……..

Little Things…

Ever believe in Magic?

For me everything is magical…….

Cherry Blossoms……Spring…….

Fog……

Young Couples in Love….Snow Globes…….

Holding Hands…..

Music on the radio………..Pictures…….

My favorite are the little musical moments in movies where people just walking by stop and break into a song……

Little Things ~ Colbie Caillat

Little Things...
The Little Things...

“The little things, you do to me are
taking me over, I wanna show ya
everything inside of me
like a nervous heart that, is crazy beating”

Of late, while walking home from work……the pavements are littered with white cherry blossoms…..

I love walking by them…….I imagine them being laid out just for me……….

Makes me want to start singing “Would’nt it be Loverly” just like Audrey in My fair Lady (Seems a bit far-fetched doesn’t it?……A dream sequence maybe?)……..

Any moment now I expect people around me to start singing just like that movie……

Got to be my favorite musical movie moment of all times……

I know it is crazy……and I know it doesn’t make any sense……

But it doesn’t take a lot to make me happy…….

I wish to witness a real life musical moment,,,,,,watch a flash mob of some sort……

Where crowds of people on a busy street break in to a random song (the one I recognise I hope)…..

Just stand there in awe and surprise…..

Feeling the magic……

A real life musical moment………

“My feet are stuck here, against the pavement
I wanna break free, I wanna make it
Closer to your eyes, Get your attention
before you pass me by”

Fools & Kings…

Perfection…..and too much of it……

Nature Boy ~ Nat ‘King’ Cole

In return
In return.....

I watched the Untamed Heart last night…….where has this movie been all my life?

The soundtrack is beautiful…….

Cole’s voice here is exquisite…..

“There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea”

And I am enchanted…….

And transported to the other world……

Acute emotions…………

“A little shy
And sad of eye
But very wise
Was he”

What did snow white and the sleeping beauty have in common?

“And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings”

I don”t know why I can’t help but think of mowgli……..and the jungle book…..when I hear this song…

“This he said to me
-The greatest thing
You’ll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
In return”
