TTT - And the pieces finally fit?

Hello dear friends and music lovers, I'm back on this @ablaze initiative with a little bit of.... let's say lack of memory, after an awakening... anyway, you'll see.

The thing is, I don't know if I've already mentioned this in any of my posts, or in any comments... I really don't remember and if I don't remember... ouch that famous phrase. Lol. If you don't know that one you can ask me later, so you can expand your general culture. Otherwise if you know what I'm talking about, and you can tell me, then you earn 1 Hive. Do you like the idea? 😃

Let's get started. The post can't be a bachata because we will deal with serious and hot topics as well.

I woke up and wrote something like... a poetic exercise and I've been some hours thinking about leaving some words here. Day of music, day of strong emotions... that's why I want to start with this song by Adele and I choose precisely this YouTube video because since I saw it for the first time I was impressed. I think the music is perfect for this scene from Game of Thrones.

.

Every time I watch it, I get goosebumps when she says ‘Dracarys’.

For those who haven't seen the TV series, she is Missandei, a former slave of Naath who became a maid, translator and loyal companion to Daenerys Targaryen.

Here we see Cersei Lannister, queen of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and a very, very complex character, using her brutality to send a message to the breaker of chains and mother of dragons. The executor of the order is a character called The Mountain.

I have to say that Adele's song makes a lot of sense to me in these days when resilience and courage cannot be lacking.

In conjunction with the images of the GoT scene it conveys many feelings to me. There in that look of Grey Worm, Missandei's partner, there is so much restraint and also pain. They didn't have a happy ending but they were happy as long as they had each other.

Just today I had a dream and I hurried to write these verses.
Sometimes I dream strange things that seem very real. I should keep a dream diary.

_{Your voice in my dream,
my dream in your voice... I don't know,
but it excites me
so much...
And I've been imagining your kisses for a long time,
that today they seemed like incense smoke lurking in my room,
figures invoked -perhaps- to put your breath on my skin
on my sex
and for your nimble hands
to reach me there in my drunkenness of love.
You spoke to me
It was you - Unknown Number
I felt... I knew how I want to wake up every morning.
Do you think I could ever dry up?
Or you?
Now I just wish the walls would fall down,
the box that we make love in open up
every day,
eternally.}

(This can be fact or fiction, you are free to think what you want) 😇

By the way, another British singer and songwriter I often listen to is Elton John and he has this song ‘The one’ whose lyrics I love.

I allow myself to quote these, my favourite excerpts from the song, which speaks of a strong physical and spiritual connection.

In the instant that you love someone

In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit

...

And all I ever needed was the one

Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun

I think this is one of Elton John's most beautiful songs about love. It was released as a single in May 1992 and the album of the same name came out a month later.

And finally I want to share... it's hard to beat Adele and Elton John, isn't it?

Let's move on to flamenco pop then, without wanting to beat anyone.

I like this theme and it reminds me that I will soon have to get a tattoo as promised... hahaha... yes, it's true... I'm not joking. But well, this girl who is younger than me by only 1 year has appeared on my Flamenco playlists and it seems that this is her signature track which is also dedicated ‘to all the free, independent and wild women who fight every day to defend their place in the world’.

Actually, she's only won me over with two more songs.

Soy Feriante (With a black and white video that I really liked and the lyrics of the song are very encouraging) Olé!

Tacones de Viento (A song of rebellion despite the pain of an unfulfilled love)

Y Olé! 😉
