Addition 10pm: Lesson of the day: consider who is a friend and who is just keeping you around for their own sake. Stay kind, but don’t you ever let your guard down again!

Enjoy… I know I do. 🙂
Thursday Song
Thirsty Seconds to Mars – echelon
This song was on the 2002 debut album of this American band. The album was self-titled. Great debut, I must say. By the way, the singer and main songwriter is actor Jared Leto.

Wednesday Song
Weikie – raise our sunken ship
From the album with the same name (2012).
Weikie is a multi-instrumentalist, a creative mind and an extraordinary person. He is very clever, funny and gives great hugs, and great advice too. A special one who makes a special kind of music.
💜❤️🖤💚💙🤍💛🧡🤎
Tuesday Song
Michael Patrick Kelly – blurry eyes
From the album B.O.A.T.S. (2021)
This song grabbed me right unexpectedly in the feels. Beautiful lyrics.
Michael Patrick Kelly is quite known in Europe as part of the Kelly Family; back when he made music with his siblings, he used to be known as Paddy. When I was a teenage girl, most girls where in love with him. The entire celebrity thing became too much for the young man and he joined a monastery. But he comes from a musical family, it runs in his blood.
After several years he came back using his full name and becoming a successful solo artist.
Anyway… Beautiful song.
💙🤍💛🧡🤎🖤💚❤️💜
Back to work today, after 11 days at home. I am torn about it. Worried, actually.
Monday Song
Sivert Høyem – at our evening table
From the album “Endless Love” (2014)
Endless Love was this Norwegian’s fourth solo studio album. And it is awesome. But, I am biased. I love his voice.
💜💙🤍💛🧡🤎🖤💚❤️
Song of the Day
Soen – River
Soen are a Swedish supergroup with member who played in notable metal and progressive bands.
The song “river” can be found on the band’s fourth album called “Lotus” (2019). An album that was well received by fans and critics alike.
I must say, when I heard Soen for the first time, I was immediately smitten. Their music is right up my alley. The above song is rather soft, almost like a ballad. But don’t be fooled, their genre is progressive metal for a reason.
Enjoy…
💚🖤🤎🧡💛🤍💙❤️💜
If you are using Spotify, here is a playlist for you, one I listen a lot.
Sunday Song
Fink – perfect darkness
From the album of the same name (2011). Fink is Fin Greennall. He is a British musician, one of the few that sound better live than on studio LPs.
💜❤️🧡🤍🖤🤎💙💚💛
Streaky day today. It was father’s day here. I worked a short afternoon shift with lots of work and I wrote a bit. No work tomorrow.
💛💚💙🤎🖤🧡❤️💜
Saturday Song
The million reasons – dizzy
The Chicago based band released this single in 2018. Truth be told, it’s the only song I know from this band, I did not do my usual research. One year ago, or more (?!) this song was a Spotify suggestion and ever since it sits in my playlist and I never once skipped it when it came on; and that’s a good sign.
💜❤️💛💚💙🤎🖤🤍🧡
Enjoy a quiet Saturday
Friday Song
White Lies – as I try not to fall apart
From the forthcoming album with the same title. (So far, the release date is February 18th 2022). The above title was dropped 4 days ago.
On first listen, it is a bit dull, i think. But maybe it is one of those that need to grow on you.
💜❤️💛💚💙🤎🖤🤍🧡
Lots of stuff today, but no work.
🧡🤍🖤🤎💙💚💛❤️💜

Wednesday Song
David Gilmour – wish you were here (live)
I think, this song does not need any words. Just enjoy.
🧡🤍🖤🤎💙💚💛💜❤️
Crying day today. I feel lost.
Tuesday Song
Depeche Mode – wrong
Sounds of the Universe was released in 2009. It was the twelfth studio album of this British Band (and the 46th single they released in the UK)
I have been a fan of Depeche Mode for a long long time. My first ever CD I bought from my own money was from Depeche Mode in 1993. Awesome band. As a teenager, my bedroom was covered in posters of River Phoenix and a particularly large one from Dave Gahan (singer of Depeche Mode). Though… Most of my favourite DM songs are sung by Martin L. Gore. (Like somebody)
Before i begin a lengthy discourse, I will leave you with the song.
❤️💜💛💚💙🤎🖤🤍🧡
Lots of love from me to you. And remember, there is nothing wrong about you or with you. Be yourself. Love yourself, just the way you are.
Monday Song
Death by Chocolate – give us a reason
The Swiss band Death by Chocolate released the above song on their second studio album called “crooked for you” (2017)
I like the energy of this song.

It was a long day with a ten-hour shift, but it was a good one.
Sunday Song
Our Ceasing Voice – until your chest explodes
Taken from the 2013 album “that day next November” by the Austrian band Our Ceasing Voice.
I love that song.
❤️💜💛💚💙🤎🖤🤍🧡
A little thing typically me: i was at work this afternoon. At 8, I took my stuff, said my goodbyes and walked to my car. I start the car and see the time. Couple minutes after 8. And then I realise. I was supposed to work until 9! So… I went back inside. I was asked if I forgot something and I replied: one hour of work. And how was your day. rofl I am home now (Rightfully) and poured myself a large beer. I deserve it.
Friday Song
Shawn Mendes – in my blood
From the 2018 album called Shawn Mendes.
Help me, it’s like the walls are caving in
Shawn Mendes – in my blood
Sometimes I feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I’m crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can’t
💜❤️🧡🤍🖤🤎💙💚💛
Another surprise song, I guess. 🙂 Enjoy.
