Music Musings











This time I've chosen for a new song of One Republic 'Counting Stars'. Two songs they already brought a couple of years ago and are one of my favorites are 'Secrets' and 'Stop and Stare'. Love their lyrics and their last one, which you can listen below, is a fun and funky song to sing along in the car. And oh boy I do love Ryan Tedders voice! Enjoy the song and have a great week!

Music Musings

Music has always been an important thing in my life, I'll probably go crazy without it. This comes with another big passion of mine: dance. From the time I learned to take my first steps as a little child my feet started to move by the sound of any kind of beat. So from the year I turned 4 until I was 21 my fulltime hobby was dancing. I started with ballet, then I got the taste of it and wanted more so jazz and hiphop came along as well and finally modern ballet and modern jazz became also very interesting for me. While other high school kids enjoyed hanging around after school I was spending my after school hours at the dance school.

When I started studying at uni it became really hard for me to combine school and dancing because I had +/- 8 hours of dancing and going back and forth was getting really exhausting. And with a big knee injury on the side I had to slow down the dancing mojo. It was really difficult for me to let go and nowadays it still can be frustrating. Sometimes I give private lessons to little ones and if no one is home I start moving the furniture around in the living rooms so I can do my thing. You can hear it already, yes I watch #SYTYCD and one of my big favorites is Tamara. She dances with full energy and lots of emotion and that's just truely amazing. Yesterday she performed a short solo on Anthony and the Johnsons with their song 'Hope there's someone'. It was pure, beautiful and it gave me an immediate feeling to stand up and start dancing.

Enjoy your week and have a non-blue monday.

My visit to the Marnix & Ally showroom last week sparked a wish list. They represent a couple of eco-friendly brands which I can only applaud.

Music Musings











Bonjour lundi et bonjour le jour de congé! Hope you'll be planning a lovely day and shake that bad weather frustration off with some good music. Hardrock, Pop, Hiphop or Techno, whatever suits you. This will be my song of the day: 'Tous les mêmes' by Stromae. The belgian singer-songwriter strikes one hit after the other. To be quite honest I like his recent songs more than his older ones like the famous 'alors on danse', that wasn't really my cup of tea but this one I DO like. It has a kind of latin slash french romantic beat to it that makes my hips move unconsciously. 

Enjoy your day!

Music Musings



I started this Monday waking up relaxed because I'm still not in that fase 'Damn, it's Monday. 5 more days and it's weekend again' but I secretly hope I can say this sentence quicker than I could imagine. Paradoxal if you ask me because at the same time I want to enjoy this peaceful time I'm having. #GrownupProblems. 

Not a lot of songs give me goosebumps but 'If you go away' by Tout va bien manages to give me goosebumps from start to finish. This artist, Jan-Wouter, was one of the winners of 'De nieuwe lichting 2013'-contest. It was held by one of the biggest radio stations of Belgium: Studio Brussel. A new, fresh twenty something in the music scene that will amaze us with more greatness, I'll tell you that. Nothing more to say except for: close your eyes, listen and enjoy.

Positive vibes and have a good week!
