New Beginning

I'm writing from my friend Angelique's flat for the last time. Everything's packed and I'm more than READY to move to my new place. I can't believe that I am actually going to live in Paris...I mean in MY own place...with a roommate of course but still. I pay rent, I can invite friends over. It's going to be my home. My address will be there. It's too real now. Because it's REAL.

So here I am, an official Parisienne.

I'm so glad to say that I am really happy. Sometimes life can surprise you. You think you know the things that would make you happy but in the end it turns out to be something you could never even imagine. But it's cool cause it makes everyhing so much more exciting.

I'm off. Bye Angelique!

Long time no...


So it's been a while since I have written anything...I could say that nothing remarkable has happened but that would just be a big fat lie. Cause shit loads of things have happened during the past few months. Well I think I should announce that I am not a habitant of Finland anymore. On the day of my last final exam at school I booked my flights to Paris. Why? Because I happened to get cheap flights and I have always known that I would someday live in France so it made sense. I didn't plan it. It didn't even cross my mind ever before the day I booked my flights. So that's the story. Nothing mysterious behind it. It was time to say bye bye to Finland. As much as I love you, I hate you more. Finland is good but good is not enough. I need awesome, brilliant, disgusting, strange, astonishing, shocking, weird, outstanding, slimy, multicultural, rich, poor, extreme. And during my stay I have so far seen things and met people that can be labeled into more than one of those categories.

I found this open mic event here which is held on weekly basis at a Scottish pub called The Highlander. I went there on my first day here and I was welcomed there with such warmth that I decided to go there every week. So far I have been there three times. I missed it once but I guess they forgave me. The standards are very high there. It's not like one of those open mics where people clap their hands because they feel sympathetic. It's because most of the musicians there are amazingly gifted. It's very inspiring and motivating.

All the prejudices that were fed to me before coming to Paris have been forgotten. I haven't met any rude people here. Everybody's just very warm and welcoming. Maybe not as welcoming and warm like in Galway (Ireland) but I can't say anything bad about the French. There's plenty of things going on everywhere. I even got to meet my favorite band from the UK called Athlete and saw their gig at Le Nouveau Casino in Paris. It was amazing. They really knew how to make their audience happy. I have never had such great time at a gig. They were so humorous and fun on the stage! I still remember the moment when I discovered Athlete. Saw their music video for '24 hours' on TV while babysitting Sean in the country side of Western Ireland and as soon as we got back to the city I went and bought all their albums. I only knew one song by them but I knew that it was gonna be worth buying the CD's. And I wasn't wrong. Since then I followed Athlete and now two albums later I got to meet them. It felt so unreal!

Paris is so inspiring. I haven't written anything really. But the atmosphere is so different. On the other hand it's like anywhere else but then again it's so new and exciting. I just love being in a place where you can meet anyone anytime. Anyone can be anyone. A handsome guy who just passed you by might be a great movie star on vacation. Or the strange looking old woman might be the head editor of Vogue. God knows you can bump into Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt. By the way someone told me they live here! I don't run after celebrities but the point is that here all that is normal. Is normal to be anyone. If you are someone you are still just anyone. Does it make any sense?

I have decided to record my EP during the following year. I wanna have it done by the end of 2010. I got so inspired by the idea that I made a brand new song a few nights ago. It's very different from my previous ones. And I like it. I think it has some future potential. It has more meaning to me right now than any of my other songs. This song is called 'The Countdown'. The lyrics are written in the earlier post. For the first time I feel like I don't wanna record a shit demo. I wanna make something proper. This song is something that I might not publish before it's perfect. For some reason I wanna make it perfect. All the songs before this one have been more like experimenting. I strongly sense that I'm finally heading to the right direction with my music. I'm starting to find myself. And I'm so glad cause I've been prepared to wait for it to happen much much longer. I knew it would happen someday. If I had a schedule I would say that this one is right on time.

What else. I guess nothing else.

Here's some random photographs. Enjoy your lives!

The Countdown

Sometimes I know that I should calm down
Strip off the crazy trips and stick around
Like my mother used to do
Like the others do
Like my brother does today
And his girlfriend too

My heart is itching for a countdown
I cannot rest before it comes around
While I wait
I'm racing
My heart rate keeps upgrading
And my feelings change so fast

Sometimes I break down
Sometimes I spin high
I'm just a girl
Who either flies
Or dies

When I was child I never slept tight
Endless distraction was to keep me up
My mother used to tell
What the others do
And my brother was so bright
And I should be too

So I found out about the countdown
Started getting ready
And never calmed down

Airplane



High high high...

I know it's mad
It might not make no sense at all
But when I think about your airplane
I fall
Into a place where clouds seem reachable
I need no ladders I can reach them all

Fly fly fly me away
Captain of airplane
My sweet sweet plans are not to wait
Fly fly fly me away
Wings of an airplane
They lift me up so high

I don't know what you do
Why I behave this way
I don't know what to say
I'd better smile away

When you act sick
For just to hear my song
So freaking evil but I play along
You got me dreaming
You got me dreaming so bad

Fly fly fly me away...

If There Would Be No You

If there would be no you
I would be alright
If there would be no you
I would smile right now
I could lose or win
I could quit or begin

You were a lover
I was a friend...
You were a lover to me
I was just a friend to you

To be loved by you
What's a dream to do
You have no clue
What my heart could do
I am good without you
I can be without you

You were a lover
I was a friend...

Du du du du du du dum...

I could lose or win
I could quit or begin

You were lover
I was friend...

You were lover to me
I was just a friend for you
What to do
You were my lover

Marie Digby


It's been about a year since I discovered American singer-songwriter Marie Digby for the first time. At the time of discovery she had just released her debut album 'Unfold'. In 2004 she had won Pantene's Pro-Voice competition with her autobiographical original song 'Miss Invisible'. She got to work with a professional producer and eventually was signed to Hollywood records in California which led to recording her first studio album. By then she had already managed to gather a massive audience around her network and folks in the USA had already come familiar with her acoustic cover of Rihanna's number one hit 'Umbrella' which was featured on an episode of the super popular MTV reality series 'The Hills'. From then on Digby's songs have appeared on several TV shows. Marie Digby is one of the most subscribed musicians on YouTube. Despite the fact she's become successful with her career she hasn't quit posting covers of other artists songs on YouTube and naturally her new original songs.

Marie exotic looks can be explained by her multinational roots as her mother is Japanese and her father is Irish-American. Due to her success in Japan an album called 'Second Home' containing several songs in Japanese was released in Japan.

Marie Digby's new album 'Breathing Underwater' was released in Japan last June and is coming out in the US on the 15th September. Luckily I've gotten my hands on the album and can recommend you to pre-listen the new songs on YouTube or MySpace. I'm absolutely in love with the new songs and in my mind it's a thousand times better than the first album. Working with the top producers and being on the road for a few years have really made Marie even better pop composer and lyricist than she used to be. Marie's style of singing is unique and I believe that her undeniable talent will just keep on growing and someday she will be writing songs for the world's top performers.


These songs from the new album 'Breathing Underwater' are my favorites and have been playing them nonstop since the first listen.
The only question is that When will we get to see Marie's cd's in the record stores in Europe?

Summer came back in a tiny plastic box.

Even though we hate to admit it, winter is making it's comeback once again. Every night it gets dimmer just a little bit earlier than the night before. I'm having a hard time putting my full length jeans on when I just got used to wearing my denim shorts. What about Christmas decorations that are going to surround us in a few months? I don't know about the others but I'm not ready to set my mind up for that just yet.

Not only winter is making comeback. Luckily for all of us who happen to enjoy danceable harmonies combined with pure acoustic sounds, I now proudly announce that Colbie Caillat's second studio album 'Breakthrough' has been released all over Europe on the 24th August. In fact we should be very excited about it since we got have fun with this sweet sugar one day more than her home natives in USA where the same album got it's release a day after!

Someone who already is familiar with Colbie's music should not feel afraid nor prejudiced, this one is not going to let you down. 'Breakthrough' is one of those pop albums that takes you right there instantly. 'I won't' and 'Begin Again' are the perfect song choices as album starters. What makes this album interesting is that out of around 50 songs written by Colbie with her trusted co-producers Mikal Blue and Jason Reeves, American Idol judge KaraDioGuardi, Rick Nowels and a few others, the chosen dozen of songs that made it to the actual album were picked by Colbie Caillat's very own fans.

It could be seen as unfortunate that 'Breakthrough's is not very successful at surprising. Once you're finished with a song and moving to to the next you have already forgotten the song you just heard. Positively you are already so into that new song that you just don't care! This music is not to shock you but more than likely to please you. Colbie's soft voice is a real soul repairer. It's not hard to figure out that everything on the album is been written nowhere else than in Hawaii.

I advice you not to stress about the fact that this 'Breakthrough' is not necessarily going to break through your inner critic fence. Chill out. Jump into your pathetic wool socks and wrap yourself into something warm, close your eyes and let yourself to be flown away to a warm paradise island with Colbie Caillat.

Listen to:

I Won't
Droplets (feat. Jason Reeves)
Fearless
I Never Told You
Fallin' For You

...and the rest of the songs!

When I seek to hide

You know how easily I'm set free
You know how much I want to fly
I've lived a lifetime in a while
Be my guide
When I seek to hide

Tell me your secret
I will keep it
If you're sure where your heart is
You might as well share it
With mine
Cause I can't excuse myself
Anymore

If one more lonesome year goes by
I cannot help but break and cry
Will I ever
What if I will never
Feel my heart

Tell me your secret
Swear I'll keep it
If you're sure where your heart is
You might as well share it
With mine
Cause I can't excuse myself
Anymore

You touched my heart

Tell me your secret
I will keep it
If you're sure where your heart is
You might as well share it
With mine
Cause I can't excuse myself
Anymore

Be my guide
When I seek to hide

Damien Rice

He is one of my biggest inspirations.




And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new



What I want from you
Is empty your head
They say be true
Don't stain your bed
We do what we need to be free
And it leans on me
Like a rootless tree

What I want from us
Is empty our minds
We fake a fuss
And fracture the times
We go blind
When we've needed to see
And it leans on me
Like a rootless...

So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
It's nothing to you
And if you hate me, hate me, hate me
Then hate me so good that you can let me out
Let me out of this hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out,
Let me out of this hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out

What I want from this
Is learn to let go
No not of you
Of all that's been told
Killers reinvent and believe
And this leans on me
Like a rootless...




There’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
There’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
It’s still a little hard to say what's going on

There’s still a little bit of your ghost your witness
There’s still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That I can´t say what´s going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to lie
Life, it taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

There’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
There’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can´t see what´s going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So its not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon.

Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to cry
So come on courage, teach me to be shy
'Cause its not hard to fall,
And I don't want to scare her
Its not hard to fall
And i don't want to lose
Its not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know



Don't hold yourself like that
cause You'll hurt your knees
well I kissed your mouth, and back
But that's all I need
Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down

And What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea

Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth, your back
Is that all you need?
Don't drag my love around
Volcanoes melt me down

What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask
What I give to you is just what I'm going through
This is nothing new, no, no just another phase of finding
what I really need is what makes me bleed
But like a new disease, Lord, she's still too young to treat
Volcanoes melt you down
She's still too young +what iam to you+you do not need+is not real
I kissed your mouth
You do not need me



We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've know
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

The World is on Fire


Hello friends and strangers! It's been a long time since I posted something proper. I lost my camera just before summer and then I moved to Helsinki for a few months to work as an intern in a really cool company that develops virtual communication tools in the virtual media field. Sounds very strange but it was one of the coolest experiences I've had. I enjoyed my time there so much and I learned so much about running a business and working with different kinda people.

Now back in Turku. Back to school. It's boring. I hate it. Don't know why I'm doing it. At least I'm having a good time reading my psychology books! ANYWAY...


I'm in love with a new band! It's based in Turku and it's called...The Streams! I went to see their gig last Friday and I was so blown away by the amount of energy they produced on the stage. Their music is very danceable, upbeat and positive (which is so rare in Finland!). Band's singer-guitarist Mitja Kiviluoto is amazing at what he does. Eventhough the music is mostly pop(ish) he carried out some damn nice guitar solos. Drummer is my favourite of all time Mikko Siusluoto who also plays drums in Traffic Island and bassist Timo Saari really knows good falsetto!


Check out their music on The Streams MySpace and buy their EP if you like what you hear!
P.S. Join The Streams group on Facebook!

It's really worth checking out, I'm sure you will love them as all my friends do!

Itkee nauraa rakastaa

Download here

Astui asfalttiin paidassa punaisessa
Näki maailmaa menneisyyden kuvilla

Siellä hän seisoo pitkästä aikaa
Tuoksunsa sateisen metsän ja mustikoiden säilynyt on
Voi kun sais hetken sitä lapsuuden taikaa
Aikuisena lapsuuden elänyt se onneton

Joskus se itkee
Joskus se nauraa
Harvoin se rakastaa

Jälkiään katsonut ei
Tapahtumat tajunnan vei
Onnensa löysi kerran toisenkin
Tilapäinen kuitenkin

Joskus se itkee
Joskus se nauraa
Harvoin se rakastaa

Siellä hän seisoo pitkästä aikaa
Tuoksunsa sateisen metsän ja mustikoiden säilynyt on
Voi kun sais hetken sitä lapsuuden taikaa
Aikuisena lapsuuden elänyt se onneton

Joskus se itkee
Joskus se nauraa
Harvoin se rakastaa

Joskus se itkee
Joskus se nauraa
Harvoin se rakastaa

Joskus se itkee
Joskus se nauraa
Harvoin se rakastaaa

Rakkaus ei hallitse mua

Dowload it here

Suljen sydämen kii
Menikö se taas niin
Hetki sitten oltiin vielä
Erottomasti

Sielun hauraan mä sain
Suruja vain, iloja ei lain
Kovasti villiintyy
Mut heikosti laantuu
Tunteeni sinua kohtaan
Taantuu

Kun rakkaus ei hallitse mua
Näen selvästi etten tarvii sua
Ollaan maista vieraista
Älä sano toisenlaista

Ja sä huomaat
Ettei saakaan
Tyttö tää luokses tulemaan
Mä vain huokaan
Etten pysty
Vartaloas enää koskettaa

Avaan portin uuden
Oven maailmaan toisenlaisen
Vaikka kuinka mietin
Järkeä ei tee
Ja mä meen

Kaipauksesta
Pitkä onni
Riippuvaisuus hellittää
Mut heikosti laantuu
Tunteeni
Taantuu

Kun rakkaus ei hallitse mua
Näen selvästi etten tarvii sua
Ollaan maista vieraista
Älä sano toisenlaista

Ja sä huomaat
Ettei saakaan
Tyttö tää luokses tulemaan
Mä vain huokaan
Etten pysty
Vartaloas enää koskettaa

Yellow House

If I looked for a home tonight
Could I come to your house
Would it be alright

I'm young
But I do understand
What's built in my dreams
Is not in your plan
Not in your yellow house

If I was a big bad mess tonight
Would you still see me,
As the girl you used to like?

You could go all over the world
Raise every single skirt
In the morning
No one whispers in your ear like me

I'm young
But I do understand
What's built in my dreams
Is not in your plan
Not in the yellow house


I'm a hurricane
At least just as strong
Today
I got worn away

If I looked for a home tonight
Could I sleep in your house
Would it be alright?

Eppu Normaali

Woohoo. Olin keskiviikosta lauantaihin Kiuruvedellä IskelmäNiityillä(jee). Tein pari amatöörihaastattelua ja perjantaina pääsin katsomaan EPPU NORMAALIA. Jee! Myös Jyrki Katainen oli paikalla, juteltiin sen pinkistä kaudesta ja sain siltä nimmarin moottoripyöräraamattuun. IHQ.


Mara eli Martti Syrjä oli siis niiiin ihana! Kävin etukäteen kyselemässä siltä, että sopisko yhteiskuvan ottaminen jossain vaiheessa, se sanoi "Tule sitten hakemaan keikkabussista!"...no sitten kun mun personal photographer ilmestyi paikalle menin hakee Martzaa bussista. Koputtelin ikkunaan ja huutelin "Maraa?? Mis Mara on" Tyypit siinä ovella piti mua ihan hulluna ja sanoi "Martti on nyt pois" Mutta ei aikaakaan ja Mara kiitää bussin perältä ja huutaa "Joo mä tuun!"


Kaiken kruunasi ihan mahtava keikka. Pitää myöntää, että suurin osa keikasta meni asuntovaunussa hengaillessa, oli nimittäin aika väsy siinä vaiheessa iltaa, mutta siis kyllä jätkät veti aivan mielettömän hyvin. En koskaan olisi kuvitellut, että Martti Syrjä vetäis niin tiukasti! Mahtava meno!

WOW WOW WOW WOW!

FEELING GOOD TODAY!?

Is enough to love you baby
Is enough to send me crazy
Such angelic motion
You know you're made in heaven



The way you walk
The rhythm when you're dancing
Every inch of you spells out desire
You're such a rush
The rush is never ending

Cynical,desperate, lost, young, in a way naive

Got flashbacks from past when I read through all my diaries
Pages filled up with glued pictures and memories
Now I don't write a thing cos I've become a brand new me
Cynical, desperate, lost, young, still in a way naive

Cynical, desperate, lost, young, still in a way naive
I want back the burn in me heart so I can sing again
Dreams I won't fail, I will give more than all of me
Cynical, desperate, lost young, get away from me

You think you did know me but you didn't actually know a thing
Cynical, desperate, lost, young, still in a way naive
I'm able to grow but you'll be stuck in your old habit

Cynical, desperate, lost, young, be no longer me

I remember when we were together.



Does anyone know anything about this singer-songwriter? I assume she's Finnish, I wanna know more. She's amazing. Probably the best Finnish song and performer I have ever heard!

Praise the Lord

Listen here and download mp3 here.

I praise the lord that we got separated in the past
I don't believe in him
But if there's something
I thank for that
I wonder how I could see you the way I did
Cos now you're ugly
So freaking ugly to me

Senseless theories
Cannot be explained
Even by you
Or the ones you learned from
You call them opinions
You've read some books
No heart to use
It's the easy way that you choose

Your thoughts are ugly
It makes you ugly to me
Simple human being
Too simple to hate it
Your face is ugly
Words from your mouth are stupid
You look so ugly
So fucking ugly to me

Don't wanna change myself
Even though I know I could
Especially always when I think of you

Cause you are ugly
From inside out
Simply disgusting
You can't change it
Your thoughts are ugly
It makes you ugly to me
Simple human being
Too simple to hate it

Saved

I feel like we're moving too fast
Too many years have gone past
I wanna freeze this moment and just sit down
Tired to keep going on

I've dropped a few tears since I've been home
Wiped them quickly away
And I'm not saying that I have been alone
But it's been a quiet road to walk on

When I look back I wanna cherish the day
When I got out of the place that I hated
And when I lay down I wanna fly away
Into the arms of the country that saved me

Have to confess that I hide
Behind these faithful eyes
I wonder, is it just a some state that I'm in
Or will I never be satisfied

But when I smile
I do it cause I'm glad that I'm here
And that's what makes my life worthwhile
I know I've left some people back behind
But that's the way that I live my life

And when I look back I wanna cherish the day
When I got out of the place that I hated
And when I lay down I wanna fly away
Into the arms of the country that saved me

Stanley



Törmäsin tälläiseen bändiin ihan sattumalta MySpacessa. Kyseessä on turkulainen kokoonpano, jonka tyyli on maispeississä määritelty 'alternative indie rock'. Mielestäni tällä ryhmällä on kuitenkin aika mainstreamiin kallistuva suuntaus, voisin kuvitella kuulevani tätä settiä radiossa.

Ihmettelen tässä nyt vain sitä miksi en ole koskaan aiemmin bändistä mitään kuullut. Olen pyörinyt Turussa vasta viime marraskuusta lähtien, mutta kuitenkin aika lailla ollut kaupungin musamenoissa mukana. Sivuilla lukee, että bändi työstää tällä hetkellä uusia biisejä, joten ehkä he ovat olleet tarkoituksellisesti piilossa kuluneena vuonna.

Visiteeratkaa ihmeessä bändin MySpacessa ja kertokaa mulle mitä mieltä olette! Omaksi suosikikseni kehkeyty heti biisi nimeltä 'Zenith'. Kuvan poimin täältä.

Recording session

Hilipatihei!

Olin tänään ystäväni Vanessan luona luomassa musiikkia. Meidän on tarkoitus nauhottaa urheiluhenkinen biisi, Vanessa on nimittäin seiväshyppääjä myös sen lisäksi että sattuu olemaan aivan jumalallinen laulaja ja säveltäjä.

Tsekatkaa Vanessan MySpace klikkaamalla tätä. Uuden biisin 'Shoot us' demoversio ladattavissa tästä.

Shoot us


We've been through
Some bad times
But this time
I'm terrified

Is this really happening
My freedom
Is being taken away


You don't give a damn about us people
Just drag our lives away
You are needles in the hay
When the fire starts

Is it true that
You would shoot us
When the rope loosens up a bit
You can't control this shit
And we could have it all

Last chance
Is final
Don't force us to blow it up

There's no one else to fight this fight
Im gonna be sure
I'll make us survive

In my opinion one of the greatest songs ever



A Case of You

Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as the northern star
And I said, constantly in the darkness
Where's that at
If you want me I'll be in the bar

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
With your face sketched on it twice

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And still be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

Oh, I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't
I remember that time you told me
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
Part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

I met a woman she had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, go to him
Stay with him if you care
But be prepared to bleed

Nevermind Robert Pattison

But this song is amazing.



Never Think

I should never think
What's in your heart
What's in our home
So I won't

You'll learn to hate me
But still call me baby
Oh love
So call me by my name

And save your soul
Save your soul
Before your to far gone
Before nothing can be done

I'll try to decide when
She'll lie in the end
I ain't got no fight in me
In this whole damn world
So hold off
She should hold off
It's the one thing that I've known

Once I put my coat on
I coming out in this all wrong
She standing outside holding me
Saying oh please
I'm in love
I'm in love

Girl save your soul
Go on save your soul
Before it's to far gone
And before nothing can be done

Cause without me
You got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
Without me you got it all
So hold on

Could this man be the next Jack Johnson?


Artistinimeä 'Milow' käyttävä Jonathan Vandenbroeck on Belgialainen laulaja ja säveltäjä. Hän ponnahti esiin Belgialaisen rocklehden bändikisassa, jonka jälkeen häneltä on ilmestynyt kaksi pitkäsoittoa 'The bigger picture'(2006) ja 'Coming of age'(2008). Hiljattain kansainvälisesti julkaistu albumi, laulajan omaa stagenimeä kantava 'Milow' sisältää kappaleita sekä ensimmäiseltä että viimeisimmältä levyltä.



Lupaavin hitti on musakanavilla tällä hetkellä ahkerasti pyörivä 'Ayo Technology' joka on alunperin kuultu 50 Centin, Timbalandin ja Justin Timberlaken esittämänä. Ei kannata antaa biisin alkuperän hämätä - Milown versio on aivan erilainen ja kaiken lisäksi todella hyvä. Ainoa ongelma on, että biisi on siitä huolimatta aika yksinkertainen, siihen kyllästyy nopeasti.

Kuunneltuani miehen koko tuotannon voisin sanoa, että hänen tyylinsä muistuttaa aika ajoin vähän usalaista country-poppia, mutta minun ärsytysrajaani se ei ole kuitenkaan onnistunut ainakaan vielä ylittämään. Erittäin rentoa ja mukavan fiiliksen tuovaa musiikkia. Suosittelen!

Tässä minun tämänhetkinen suosikkini, 'You don't know'

Am I CRAZY?

Replace me


If you had known me a little bit better
Baby you would cry
So I see one of the reasons
This shit ain't worth a try

Why bother and keep talking to you
Your mind is too blind to see

I was the one who bought the flowers
Who the hell was I
Supposing you to be the man
But you were just a marshmallow dipped in First Price wine

It's been three days and I'm already over you
If you'd read my mind you would see

This doesn't hurt so much
I didn't even want your touch
And now you've burned your mark on me
You don't understand the way I feel
You shall go and replace me
With someone new

It's all incredibly sad
Save your nagging
Save it for someone who is willing to listen
The fun side of this is that you'll never realize
How senseless you are

It hasn't been that long and I am so over you
If you'd read my mind you would see
