The song I chose for today is not exactly a new one. Yuki no Hana was released in 2003 and it belongs to Mika Nakashima, although there have been quite a few other musicians who covered it in different languages. For example, I remember first listening to Hayley Westenra singing Snow Flower and only afterwards […]

Deși am mai scris un articol despre spectacolul Degeaba…?! al maestrului Tudor Gheorghe, nu mă pot abține din a mai adăuga câteva paragrafe ca o continuare firească. În principiu, Tot degeaba! este în mare parte asemănător cu spectacolul manifest anterior lui, închinat eroilor Revoluției din Decembrie 1989 și ironic față de clasa politică autohtonă. Din […]

O light the candle, John The daylight has almost gone The birds have sung their last The bells call all to mass Another song from Loreena McKennitt I enjoy listening lately, probably because of the gloomy weather, is Skelling, a track included on the 1997 album The Book of Secrets. In Skelling, a dying Irish […]

For a while For a while Can’t you be mine Can I hold you again Like that time? I don’t know much about Korean actors, but I am familiar with Lee Joon-Gi‘s (이준기) work. Later on, you will see on eLitere reviews for certain films and drama series, but today I chose to speak about […]

Sometimes words are futile and the only thing that can make you relax is an instrumental song. Besides Loreena McKennitt‘s The Mystic’s Dream, which will be the subject of another article, I also love listening to La Serenissima, which appeared on the harpist’s 1997 album entitled The Book of Secrets. Though La Serenissima was another name […]

My lovelies, today I felt like writing about a song I discovered years ago, thanks to one of my professors from high school. I was just learning Italian and music helped me understand the language better. I’m curious to see if we have any Laura Pausini fans reading our articles. For you and for my […]

In the darkest nights feel the power in you Take a moment of silence and fight for the truth Watching the days go by nothing changed, nothing new Take a moment of silence and fight for the truth. Almost every year, the National Final for the Eurovision Song Contest ends up or it is linked […]

Walking around aimlessly by myself Breathing a faint sigh, my breath turns white Seasons change, and in this fleeting season.. My tears fall for no reason “Even now, I still love you” (source) The lyrics are from the beginning of Gackt’s 2003 song, Last Song. When I discovered his music, this one was among the […]

When I grow older/ I will be there at your side/ To remind you how I still love you Out of all the books I wanted to review this month, I chose to begin with… a song. Why? Because I can’t get it out of my mind. Not that I actually want to do that, […]
