A little music

This morning, my mind needed probably something simple and light to listen. An easy song that i can sing in yogurt (it means that you produce nonsense sounds and onomatopoeia to imitate a foreign language, or lyrics that you have forgotten). I had an ex boyfriend who used to talk to Americans with a perfect American accent with nonsense words for a great and long conversation. Americans were amazed by his accent but they were stunned not to understand and to make him repeat a couple of times. I was besides him, having the giggles. :-)
You have to know that Parisians laugh at people a lot. Some could be very mean, but i am not, i just joke. And i am nice with tourists, i like them and share my secret spots in the capital.
It's one of the reasons we enjoy spending time on a terrace to look at people, and to have conversations about anything.

So, music. This is the song:

Too many synths with this sound of the 80s, like a fake rave party. I dislike the musical production of this kind of music.
This morning, i listened to it 5 or 6 times, don't ask me why.
The Israeli young musical bands sounds like the same.
If you cook and play acoustic guitar, you will be my man. If you play violin too, you will be my Yiddish Kosher man.
One of my Israeli client is a musician, he plays what we call strappy piano, accordion.

One of his songs sounds like the music of Federico Fellini movies. Apparently the graphic designer who made the video felt the same. She used iconography of the bellissima Giulietta Masina in one of my favorite movie Nights of Cabiria, 1957. The story of a poor woman, a prostitute, who is abused by everyone, especially men. She is candid and optimistic despite all her woes. You will never forget her tears, and also her smile in any circumstances.

And if you like it, watch the other movies by Fellini. He used to ask non professional actors, coming from villages around where he shot to play in his movies. Amazing faces from outer space.
And after that, one philosophical question: do you think that we can be happy when we feel in pain? It might be a question when you take a French high school diploma. I don't want a yes, a no or comme si comme ça* (*so so), but elaboration with references to philosophers, religious philosophers… Don't you like homework? :-)
