My goodness, I haven't been posting for 5 days straight and I didn't even realise it! I just thought I missed a couple of days... anyway, quite a few things have happened in these past few days. First of all I have to mention the most recent, i.e. Island victory over England in Euro 2016, a great and unforgettable sports moment! Then again, do I need to speak about the Game of Thrones season final? I stayed up until 6 in the morning to wait for it to be available and watch it and it's been worth every second of my time! Put in a few days enjoying the summer sun at my grandma's pool, some sightly disappointing news about my future that will require me to make an extra effort, nothing exceptionally relevant anyways. And of course summer music, which is what I'm leaving you with tonight, fresh off the boat!
I won't talk about my opinion on Nelly Furtado's latest releases as the few things I got on my hands (or better in my ears) made me believe that we totally lost her. I loved her debut singles, songs that are part of my early teenage, then lost her a little bit and starting loving her again with 'Loose' and her new mainstream success. Ok, that album was already quite "poppish", but still greatly likeable in my taste. So instead of going forth, I decided to go back and explore her earlier releases, of which I only knew a handful of the more famous songs. The first one is her 2003 sophomore 'Folklore', and this is one of my favourite songs on it!
I am at Amsterdam Schipol, ready to travel back home, another nice trip has come to an end and I probably won't even have the time to relax (graduations, friends to meet, ...) before leaving again (in 5 days)! This summer is super weird, going from absolute nothingness and boredom to craziness and back again and again! Oh, I'm not complaining, but I kinda miss the old summers, when I got isolated from the whole world, staying at my grandma's with my cousins, playing games in the countryside, bathing, being young and free and careless! The summers like the one when this song was released, actually 2006 was one of the last ones of these... Anyway all this post just because I finally, finally found this album, Loose, at an affordable price here in Amsterdam and I bought it, together with a few others!! Can't stop buying CDs, can I? And people keep looking at me in a weird way when they learn I still buy CDs...!
