Very cool song!

Hi everyone!
Got a new song for you that's quite nice. Well actually it is not that new but still worth sharing with you for the ones that don't know it. It's called 'Empire State of Mind' by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. It has a really nice piano and it is a great combination between rap and singing. I will try to learn the piano part over the coming week to improve my music skills.
Later!

Belgium for the weekend!

Hey everyone,
I've been to Belgium for the weekend, to Knokke. Don't know if you know the city but it's a nice place. I've seen a lot of street musicians and I really enjoyed it. I have explored some of the urban street music and I have enriched my brain database of arts. It's a really nice place and I would definitly advice you to go there. Not only to do some shopping, but also to enjoy the music played on the street. Oh and by the way, don't forget the nice beach borders to!

Music Test

Hi everyone,
I had a music test last week and I just wanted to reflect on it for a minute. I am of the opinion that I really made this test bad. However I am still positive about the test because I see a lot of progress in myself since my first music classes. I have noticed that I was able to do some things that I wouldn't be able to dream of earlier this year. I start to see patterns in notes and I hear them better. It is very basic, however for me it is a big step.I only started music lessons like two months ago and I think it is going quite well for a real music novice like me.
Anyways, I just wanted to update you on my music skills,
Later

Freeski song

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to update you with another interest I have, and that's skiing. I found I very cool skiing movie with a special skiing rap! It is a song made by the salomon freeski team, which in my opinion is the best skiing freestyle team in the world.
Enjoy!

Someone else's favorite song: Snow

Hi again,
I have looked at another favorite song of someone. This time it is Snow by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I found this song on the blog about music by Nold, who is also a classmate of mine. I found this song very interesting because I already knew it but only from a long time ago. I listened to the Red Hot Chili Peppers when I was about ten years old. After this age I just never bought any song from them anymore. Listening to this song, which is quite a bit newer, made me look back to all the good times I had when I still listened to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In his blog he says that the drums, guitar etcetera are fantatstic and I totally agree with him. Reading his blog made me buy all the new songs of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, as a matter of fact I am listening to the very song right now. I also found some other interesting songs on his blog that I quite like myself too. Such as ''Het regent Zonnestralen'' by Acda en de Munnik, he told me something about the song and he definity confinced me that this song is of great value.

So this was it for looking at favorite songs of others, I will post some more things on my blog today and tomorow to get it up to date again.
Bye

Someone else's favorite song: Nacicillia

Hi everyone,
It's me again with a favorite song of someone else. This time it it Nacicillia by Dark providers. The song came from the blog of Matthias, who is a classmate of mine. I think this song was very interesting to hear. This is because it is a progressive house song and I normally don't listen to house. I do like this song a lot though because it has a very nice beat to it. I found it pleasant to listen to this song. Also my body totally relaxed when listening to this song. I think it was a very good experience that introduced me to the type of songs that I normally don't listen to. I will definitly listen more to house songs! When I looked a bit further on Mathhias his blog, I found a lot more songs I really liked such as: Autumn by John Dahlback. I will buy these songs the very next time I am in a music store again.

Someone else's favorite song: Fix You

The first song that I will be looking at is Fix You by Coldplay. It was the favorite song of Jochem, a classmate of mine who also has a blog. I knew this song already as I am quite like Coldplay. I always thought it was a nice song but Jochem made me look differently to this song because of his explenation. He made me realise not only to listen to the tune but also to the text. If listen to both the tune and the text, there is actually a lot of emotion in the song. I listened to the song again after reading his blog and I liked the song a lot more than I did last time. I have read all the emotions he felt while listening to the song and I actually felt quite a bit the same, only without the watery eye part...

I'm not dead

Hey everyone,
I am very sorry that I haven't posted anything over the last 2 weeks or so. I haven't shown up since such a long time because I was very busy. I had a testweek last week and my whole atumn break was just all about studying. I didn't have a lot of time for myself last weeks but finally I am back again. I will be posting something for the weekend, just to get my blog up and running again. What I will be doing is, I will look at three other people that I know with a blog and I will look at their favorite songs.
Ciao
