I just felt this sudden need to talk about my most influentional music.
As every kid/teenager i've spent a lot of time listening to music and finding new bands. And i was so happy when i stumbled uppon bands with lyrics that were expressing exactly the way i feel, the same pain, the same joy. I looked through lyrics, through sonic landscapes, something with which i could connect with. And i've stumbled over these bands/projects. And i slowly realize how much their music and songs, and the way they see and express life has helped me.
Some of them have been with me since kindergarden, some only for a couple of years, but they all contributed in a way or another to the person i am now.
I guess, all i'm trying to say is... let creativity invade you're life and you'll be free.
So here they are:
Enigma , my first musical love and the longest one. The starting point was watching their video of Return to Innocence. And i've come to realize that i do find innocence divine and that i do believe in destiny and all the thingsone can create.
Another artist that is very close to my soul is Marie' Digby. I can't even start describing how much she healed my soul, after 2 years that represented a down-fall for me. In a way we're pretty similar as persons. I'm gld i've stumbled over her songs and that i've got to know her quite a bit. And the most important lesson i've learnt from her is this: listen to your heart, because dreams do come true! Because of this lady i have now a lot of good friends from all over the world. And to those friends i'd like to say a big and warm Thank You!
Kerli, the fairy! Because of her, i remembered all the things i used to believe and love as a child. Fairies, castles, numbers, angels, forests, everything is enchanting about this wonderful creature. And i hope one day i'll be able to give her something back.Thank you for empowering me!
A Fine Frenzy aka Alison Sudol!This is for the most calm side of me, the side that loves to drink tea, read lovely books, stay in the woods, drewam od victorian houses, play with bunnies and suround myself with music and good stories.
Nelly Furtado! She went a long way from her Turn Off The Light days to Promiscuous, but i'm so glad the she had this opportunity and that people all around the world know her name. I think i can describe her earlier work as returning to the roots. Which i keep doing every now and then. Don't ever give up on your roots!
And, of course, Lenka, for showing us all there's no shame in being a kid and that it's actually necessary to do so, because that was the period when we listened to our hearts more, and not our heads.
Be the best that you can be, never forget what actually counts, and have yourselves a very Happy New Year!
