Perfume – Polyrhythm (ポリリズム)
Happy Friday! Here’s some Perfume to celebrate the arrival of the weekend! 🎵 🌈
Summer Lies
I’ve been listening to a lot of Late Night Alumni lately (especially at the office), and most of the songs (like this link) are perfect for getting work done, but the song above in the Youtube video totally takes me far away to a tropical island. I imagine myself listening to the song while sitting on a beach in Okinawa, watching the sunrise. Wouldn’t that be cool? Someday I’ll make it happen!
What the World Needs Now
This Is Your Song – Take a line from a song that you love or connect with. Turn that line into the title of your post.
My favorite song “What the World Needs Now” written by Burt Bacharach, with lyrics by Hal David.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.Lord, we don’t need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last till the end of time.What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone.What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some, oh, but just for
Every, every, everyone.
I often think these days that we have an overabundance of everything… so much clutter and everything tries to demand our attention. It would be nice if we could all focus on the simple things that matter and shut out the rest.
Give a listen to this version with Burt Bacharach and The Posies from the movie Austin Powers. It’s wonderful:

Bowie
I posted this last October, but thought I would post it again. RIP David Bowie 
I’ve nothing much to offer
There’s nothing much to take
I’m an absolute beginner
But I’m absolutely sane
As long as we’re together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we’re absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same
If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean
Just like the films
There’s no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It’s absolutely true
Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can’t shake
Oh, we’re absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as you’re still smiling
There’s nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But we’re absolute beginners
But if my love is your love
We’re certain to succeed
If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Sail over heartaches
Just like the films
If there’s reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It’s absolutely true
