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 […]

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 today’s post I wrote an article about a song I wanted to analyse for a long time and now I’m sharing my thoughts about it with you. The song is entitled The Mystic’s Dream by Canadian singer, harpist and composer Loreena McKennitt and it appeared on her 1994 album The Mask and Mirror. What […]

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 […]

Ye banks and braes o’ bonnie Doon, How can ye bloom sae fair! How can ye chant, ye little birds, And I sae fu’ o’ care! Thou’ll break my heart, thou bonnie bird That sings upon the bough; Thou minds me o’ the happy days When my fause Luve was true. Thou’ll break my heart, […]

I have always been a dreamer. I set goals for myself. I look at things and try to imagine what is possible and then hope to surpass those boundaries. Instead of going for a song, I decided to bring Michael Jackson on eLitere through his 1988 book, Moonwalk. Usually, I’m not exactly interested in autobiographies, […]

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 […]

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, […]

Though Valentine’s Day is over, I thought that I should still write a short article about a love song I like very much. I want to share it with you and you might fall in love with it too, in case you haven’t heard it before. The song is entitled Angelina, it is sung by […]
