Musical Companions

I found this chilling piano piece by Greg Maroney on youtube a while ago and thought I'd share it here. This is entitled Breathe.

Such soothing music is really wonderful to listen to when you're trying to study. There's another song that I particularly like to listen to and for the Canadians out there, I think you might recognize this song as part of the Air Canada commercial. It's El Vuelo by Hughes De Courson.

Interestingly while the title means 'the flight' in Spanish, I don't think the song is. But I usually just make up the lyrics when I listen to it. Hehe. 

Anyway, these songs make me wanna dance; sway and move together with the music... kinda like water. 

Not sure how many of you were schlepped into ballet lessons when you were young but me and my sister were. Actually I tried to rebel out of the tutus (which I did at the age of 10) but surprisingly, I took up dancing again when I went to junior college (senior high is it?). I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with jazz-lyrical but that's what I can do. Seph calls it rubbish dancing but its alot harder than it looks. Alot of the basics are grounded in ballet but it's much much more energetic. Plus you can dance it to modern songs. Like the video below. It's a great example. Can't tell you how I wish I could do a choreography like that!

Aren't they just amazing? Okay now I can't study after watching that.

An image of Erika [as how I imagine her to be]

I know I don't explicitly say she's half Asian except that she has an Irish tilt to her voice right? But she is.

That's probably because I've been listening too much to Marie Digby these few days.

She has this very simple and clean voice that I find very captivating.
Although she doesn't have that prominent Irish accent [she lives in LA], I still like the way she speaks. Kinda sounds like me though. *laughs*

Anyway, here's a video of Marie singing and I thought I'd just share it here because listening to her gives me some inspiration for Erika's character and I know I haven't developed her relationship with Alaron yet partly because I'm tentative about it.

Her purpose in this story is to provide a tension for the Culzean siblings and to give them to bond over a real problem in which Fiona is not the main cause.

Okay so here's the song I'm listening to at the moment.

Marie is really so cute. I just saw a video of her speaking Japanese and while she's confident, she has that hesitant way of speaking going Anu, Anu... That's like 'errr' or 'like'. And I love how the Japanese speak English with their Japanese accent as well. Really cool.

Anyway on the topic of half-Japanese singers, here is Justin Nozuka. This song is just amazing. I mean he's singing live and it's so clear and soulful! And then Marie comes in and harmonizes so sweetly =)
