HALKA - Little Truth リトルトゥルース

I couldn't recall how I found this song, or this singer, although I've been listening to this amazing, soothing voice for quite some time already. There is no further info about HALKA, the singer/vocalist except for the short introduction about her on this page.

If you understand Japanese, please help to translate this song or at least provide the Japanese lyrics, thanks & enjoy!

Is Stevie Ray Vaughan famous among young generations or non-blues music lovers? To me, he's a legend, a great musician, guitarist.


Here's one of the very first few SRV songs I listened to, it's a nice, soothing, bluesy / jazzy instrumental "night tune" - Riviera Paradise, very easy listening, perfect to go with a cuppa coffee, relaxing in the evening or even midnight.



Let's chillout with the one & only SRV~

Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake.

Little snowflake falling from the sky.

Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake.
Little snowflake falling from the sky.
Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake.
Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling,

Falling on my head.
Falling on my nose.
Falling in my hand.

Celine Dion - What Wonderful World

I know many of you may not like Celine Dion's What A Wonderful World cover, and always comparing her rendition to Louis Armstrong's originality and emotion...

Well, I just don't care a bit about the comments, yes, Louis Armstrong's version is the greatest one, but after all, it's just about taste and personal preference.

Most importantly, this song just soothed me from all the negativity I had today, and that's the reason why I'm sharing this version instead of the original's.


Thank you, Celine!


from Celine Dion - Miracle (2004)

Lyrics:
I see trees of green... red roses too
I see 'em bloom... for me and for you
And I think to myself... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue... and clouds of white
Bright blessed days.... warm sacred nights
And I think to myself... what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow... so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces... of people going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin'.. how do you do?
They're really sayin'... I love you.

I hear babies cry... I watch them grow
They'll learn much more... than I'll never know
And I think to myself... what a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself... what a wonderful world... oh yeah!

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Lenny



SRV is one the modern guitar gods who played blues music and guitars through his heart and soul. He has inspired many other musicians and guitarists like Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, John Mayer, etc.

The 10th track of Stevie Ray Vaughan's debut album, Texas Flood, Lenny is a beautiful piece of guitar solo SRV wrote for his wife Lenora "Lenny" Bailey.

According to a comment on YouTube, "Stevie saw a guitar in a music store window and wanted it but he couldn't afford it. When his wife, Lenny, heard this, she pooled together with a group of her friends to buy it for him. when they gave him the guitar he was so thrilled, he stayed up the whole night writing this song on it. He even named the guitar Lenny." (I ain't sure if this is true but sound convincing to me, though)

So let's just listen to this wonderful, bluesy and easy music of SRV, and you gotta feel the love in it!

Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood - Summer Wine

I'm far from being a fetus when this song is written, hahaha!

This song is used as a background music for a design reel, which I don't remember who the animator is. Anyway, this song was written in 1966 by Lee Hazlewood for Suzi Jane Hokom and Hazlewood himself in 1966, but the version I post here is the remake of Nancy Sinatra and Hazlewood in 1967, and then featured on Nancy & Lee LP in 1968.

It's a rather sweet and sexy song, where a man met a woman who offered him summer wine, and ended up his silver spurs and money stole ;-)




Fairy Tales & Fantasies: The Best Of Nancy & Lee

Lyrics:
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things

I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohhh-oh summer wine

My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine

When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine

Richie Sambora - In It For Love (Undiscovered Soul)

Richie Sambora is the lead guitarist of the famous melodic rock band Bon Jovi, I actually prefer his vocal works rather than his guitar soloing. Don't get me wrong, he's a good guitarist with his own styles, it's just that he also posses great voice, which to me, outshines his guitar efforts.

I love the positive energy of In It For Love, the easy, mostly acoustic, 7th track from Richie Sambora's second solo album. It talks about the reality, the frustrations of everyone's normal life. But what really matter at the end of the day is LOVE, and love will keep us going.

So be loving, be tough!


Richie Sambora - Undiscovered Soul (1998)




Lyrics:
Life is a road
Forever winding where it leads us
I don't know
In it together for better or worse
Searching for our pal of gold

Time leaves a trail
Of broken hearts
So many arrows
Just keep missing their mark
Baby, that ain't us

Nothing else matters
When you're in it for love
Together we can only go higher
You can reach any rainbow
You're dreaming of

Nothing else matters at all
When you're in it for love, baby
Yeah, we'll share in the laughter
Share in the tears
And the promises we keep

Life can be crazy
Love can be cruel
But it's always been
A two way street

You try and give it
All you have to give
So many people
Don't know how to forgive
Baby, that ain't us

Nothing else matters
When you're in it for love
Together we can only go higher
You can reach any rainbow
You're dreaming of
Nothing else matters at all
When you're in it for love, baby

You try and give it
All you have to give
So many people
Don't know how to forgive
Baby, that ain't us

Nothing else matters
When you're in it for love
Together we can only go higher
You can reach any rainbow
You're dreaming of

Nothing else matters at all
When you're in it for love, baby
When you're in it for love, baby
In it for love

When you're in it for love, baby
When you're in it for love, baby
When you're in it for love, baby
In it for love
