I'll write this text in English because I won't have much time to translate it. If anyone wants it translated, he/she can ask.
Over the past years of my life, as any human being, I've undergone some well established processes of maturing, well defined from the temporal point of view and with results along the years that helped me evolve to this very day. However I always felt that I can't find the perfect words to describe the colors of my years so that anyone could understand them and see them as I did. So I've put together a list of songs that may help me in that matter.
Chapter 1: The Early Years.
I grew up on old music, since I always saw my mother as an icon during preadolescence, so names such as Modern Talking, A-Ha, Abba, DJ Bobo, Bennasi Bros, Cher, Celine Dion, John Lennon, Phil Collins, Chris Rea, bear no secret in front of me. I also used to listen to Enya allot, Sarah Brightman, and at some point the genre called manele that remind me of some parties we threw back in the old days at home.
Then there was the stay with my cousin... Blero - Sexy Moves, manele again, house music, DJ Project, Thalia - No me ensenaste, Veritasaga, B.U.G. Mafia, particularly remind me of that time.
And then... after my cousin left there was him, I'll call him V.
Tony Carey - Room With a View
Chris Isaac - Life Will Go On. And so it was.
The there was O, and I remember four particular songs from him,
1st Ladi - Missing You
Bliss - Wish You Where Here
Armstrong & Fitzgerald - Stars Fell On Alabama
Goran Bregovic - Lullaby
That's when I discovered Buddha Bar and jazz.
Chapter 2: The Big Struggle.
Shortly after I graduated 10th grade, I left the country. I'll always remember the song that I listened to for 3 long weeks before the departure itself
Elcho - Lazy Summer Days. And then I left the country.
Once arrived, I was seeking salvation from myself. I finally found it in some songs from ATB. I loved ATB ever since and will never give it up. Songs such as Pride Collides With Beauty and Some Things Just Are The Way They Are are worth mentioning.
I even met an interesting guy online, the songs that always reminds me of him is
The Proclaimers - 500 Miles (love that song)
Smiley feat. Alex & Don Baxter & Marius Moga - Am Bani De Dat
Other songs of the period:
Gary Jules - Mad World
Goran Bregovic - Lullaby
OceanLab - Ashes, Miracle, Secret etc.
GooGoo Dolls - Iris
Chapter 3: After The Storm Is Gone.
I came home after one year, so to speak. Summer was filled with
Zero Assoluto - Per Dimenticare
The Gossip - Heavy Cross
Gianna Nannini - Maledetto Ciao.
Then autumn came and I had left for Paris for a short trip.
Zaho - Je Te Promets
B.E.P. - I've Got A Feeling
these are the songs that remind me of that beautiful time.
Chapter 4: The Unexpected.
I started listening to indie a lot, and a bit of rock sprinkled on top, and I sort of met L. That was the coolest Christmas I can remember, and the songs that fill that period still sing by themselves in my head sometimes.
Greg Laswell - Comes and Goes (In Waves)
Colbie Caillat & Jason Mraz - Lucky
Kate Nash - the album Made Of Bricks
Lilly Allen - The Fear
Justin Nozuka - After Tonight
Erica Jennings - Pleasure.
Songs that remind me of L:
Michael Bubble - Still Haven't Met You Yet
Ian Brown - Stellify
Oasis - All Around the World, Slide Away, Champagne Supernova (particularly).
Chapter 5: Back to The Chaos.
And things started falling apart at some point because I had reached a point from which I couldn't move anymore. And there was no one to tell me at least what was going on. So I had to figure it out myself, and L was helping me so much with getting me deeper in quick sand more quickly, so to say, so by summer a lot of things that I once thought I had were there no more.
Anyway, here are the songs that remind me of particular events.
My BF broke up with her boy-friend -> Claudia Cream - Don't Miss Missing You
My BF got together with my brother -> Cheryl Cole - Parachute
Me getting dizzier by the day -> Morcheeba, Linking Park, Hooverphonic, Buddha Bar, ATB.
Me feeling sorry as I felt that everything was starting to crumble -> Morcheeba - Otherwise
Me going to Ploiesti -> Parazitii - Arde
Me going to my aunt and uncle -> Travie McCoy - Billionaire
Me going to the Black Sea -> Coldplay - The Scientist
Me back home from all of this -> Coldplay - See You Soon
Me away from my hometown again -> Dub FX - Love Me Or Not.
Well... that's about it... to be continued I guess :).
