Elijah - Lunik

This is probably gonna be the last Lunik post for a while, as I exhausted my get-to-know listening of their 2012 album 'What is next'. The atmosphere of some of the songs on it is quite 'wintery', in contrast with the 'spring-like' tone of most of my favourite of theirs, the collection 'Lonely letters'. I dare say that this sad and calm mood is quite matching with my own... I am back with cold and coming flu, as usual in winter, and I am not happy at all about it... I just wanna feel good, it sucks that me and the poor people like me are feeling like shit for about half year every time... please senf us to the tropics! Please!!

I have just picked this song quite randomly out of my current playlist, the first one that struck me because I like it already quite a bit, and now writing the title of the post I have been striken once more because it really is the perfect song to post today...! Something clicked inside of me lately, something that pushed me stronger to release the things that are not making me happy and that are not making me feel good and to focus more on what is important in my life now. I don't know if I feel like I've become a different me and I need to go back to my "true" me, or if this one is "my myself" and I need to become a different me. Anyway, it's time for change, and I think the time has come to start making the wheels turn, as the end of this very intense year comes closer. I need some fresh air in 2016: 2015 has been the year when I become an adult, now I need to figure out how to manage all the things I've learned and the experiences I've done!

I kind of lost track of Lunik lately, after I completely fell in love with them when they first were broadcasted in Italy, it was like 2008 I guess, they got good radio-play and their 'Lonely letters' album, the first released outside Switzerland, made up mostly of songs featured on their previous, locally-released albums, has quickly gone up to become a personal favourite of mine. I remember buying their next album, 'Small lights in the dark' in Zurich in 2010, but it didn't have the edge their previous work had. And then I lost them, as they didn't get anymore air play in Italy. I just recently found out they had released another album in 2012 and then a final collection the year after just before disbanding, a news that made me a bit sad, as I wished I could see them live. Anyway I have now approached their 2012 work and I have already found some worthy material on it, this being a good example thereof!

#sundayrevival Last night - Lunik

Last night - Lunik

I don't have a seasonal bond with many albums, the ones I love the most, I usually listen to them any time of year. Ok, some moments may fit better than others, but feeling a push to listen to a certain album when a time of years comes happens to me... well, with only two albums. The first one is Dido's debut 'No angel', which usually calls me when winter is coming, and the other one, the one whose seasonal power is the strongest, is Lunik's best-of 'Lonely letters', which marks for me the beginning of spring! And while spending a nice day around the parks, woods and city center of Treviso under a not-too-hot, rather just-warm-enough, end-of-March sun and blue sky, Lunik were the perfect soundtrack for my wandering!! Spring has finally come for real (it appears, I'll keep my fingers crossed!), so it's time to listen to Lunik, who have been accompanying the coming of my springtimes since 2009 (that's why this post is a sundayrevival, as, even if theoretically this post is for saturday, technically it's sunday already)!

"Many things I'd like to know, how to choose which way to go.

Many things I'd like to see, what you do for getting free.

If I could fly away alone, like a bird out on my own

Would I stop feeling so lost? I will never know..."

Do you love me? - Lunik

Do you love me? - Lunik

You're my darling and I love you so

Those feelings ain't changing

But your longing for me has become so unreliable

I think we all have some albums that we associate to a particular time of year. Well, when spring starts to be on its way to summer and the days get pleasantly warm, I have a favourite album to listen to. Given that this (awesome) time of year has come for me again now that I'm back in Italy, the urge to listen to my springy album is irresistible! The album I'm talking about is Lonely Letters by the swiss band Lunik, a CD that I utterly love and that always reminds me of my favourite time of year (this one, indeed). Do you love me? has been the first song I got to know by Lunik, I remember it was playing on the radio in the time just before my high school graduation and I've been listening to it ever since! The lyrics feel particularly accurate today as I found myself lingering in some thoughts about past times... I know you will love it too!!
