Sometimes it is so nice to discover something quite new for oneself. Like today, when I explored the world of beautiful old Russian romances. They all share the wistful, melancholic feeling that is so appealing. And the beauty of the Russian language - although I do not speak Russian - makes the songs even more enjoyable. Fortunately there is YouTube, a wonderful resource for locatíng many old "friends", but particularly if you want to explore something you have never heard before. I hope you will also enjoy my small selection of songs:
Catastrophes, wars, terrorism, ecological disasters, deadly diseases, poverty .... The list of tragedies - both personal and public - is endless. Every day and hour media, politicians, experts - and charlatans - bring us a never ending barrage of bad things. No wonder that many people feel depressed and weary. This blog tries - in a modest and personal way - to contribute to a more balanced view. After all, there is so much to appreciate and enjoy in life ...
