Life in Music, Part I

Two points before editing the first part of my musical life :

- Never concentrate yourself on the bass / guitar or drums line when you're riding. Because if you do, you won't see the other riders, the running ones, or the pavement, or the gap. Thank God, I had a narrow escape... And thank God, there were nobody around the Grand Canal tonight !
Next time I won't listen to A Joker's Rage when I'm riding (especially when they're supposed to send me important news ... And they haven't sent it yet ... Grrr)

- I think a ghost is living in Versailles. My Ghost is the one you will meet on Day 13 ... He's one of my ex. I know that few years ago he worked in Versailles ... Because I don't have news since so loong I have no idea of what he became ... Is he still around ? Anyway. That cute rider that I cross twice looked exactly like him ... Is it him ? Or not ?

And now, the first part.



The other day I wrote :

" 5704 songs, 15,6 days of music, 28,36 Go. 25 files of 25 different styles of music.

6 sheets, 190 songs !"

At this moment, the playlist wasn't over. I choose a lot of songs, but needed to read it a second time before making my final choices...

I'm proud to say that the last version counts 183 tracks, 13,3 hours of music, 1 Go !

Acoustic / B.O (soundtrack) / Blues / Celtic / Chanson (french variety) / Country / Electro / Folk / Français (french rock) / Jazz / Neo / Pop / Pop Rock / Rap US / Rock / Soul / Versailles' Touch (Electronic Music from Versailles)
17 styles of music.

Tonight, I'm gonna list the songs from : Acoustic, Country, Blues, Jazz, Soul, Chanson and Français, Celtic, Folk.
Part II will be B.O, Pop, Pop Rock.
Part III will be Electro, Versailles' Touch, Rap US and Rock.

Enjoy !!

Bold means : biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig love for that song, give me a mic and a recording studio, I record my own cover !!
Opinions are mine, there are not truth of lie, just my opinion !

I didn't put my protégés, A Joker's Rage, Three Card Trick, Gloria Cycles, Talk to Angels or The Dunwell Brothers Band because for the moment my love for them is not just a love for their music ...

Le Baiser - by Alain Souchon

L'Itinéraire - by Bénabar

"Va tout droit, on verra bien" " Go straight ahead, we will see where we arrive !!"

I lived that situation with some friends. My first summer camp as girl scout leader; our last night between adults before going back to Versailles to travel with the kids (every year - if we could do it - we were spending two or three days to the scene for the last preparations ... Always good moments !! ). We went to a city, maybe 10 kilometres or 20 from where we were camping. To go it was easy. We left our unknown place, and followed the signs. Easy. To go back, after our dinner and all our jokes, well ... it was hard !!! Our unknown place ... no signs with it ... I think we needed something like 2 hours to find our way back ! And we were listening to that song ! Magical !
