I wanna be where you are

On such a cold & snowy day only one thing can warm me, and that’s being in touch with myself and not being lost in the world, in thoughts, ideas and other not-real imaginative things.

Here is the situation – accept it or deal with it! But be present and pay attention.

And that’s pretty much how i always understood this song: I wanna be where you are. You meaning me. Not my idea of who i am and always looking for something. There is nothing to look for everything is right here, right now!

Killing in the name of… RATM covers

I. the first version was sent to me by one of our readers, and its quite a great one submitted by Alexis Maizel and heres what he wrote: “I enclose you a recent cover by a French folk band called ‘La maison Tellier’ of the classical ‘Killing in the Name Of” by RATM. I have no affiliation whatsoever with  this band (but for the citizenship), but really dig the track. It would blend quite nicely in one of your next “Sweet Serenade” mixtape. Listen and enjoy.”

II. The 2nd version almost made it onto my Sweet Serenade Mixtape Vol.3. Maybe next time, great nonetheless and the smoothest of the three.
