about me:
(copied from the "Puzzles pieces" commentbox 09.01.09 )
"hey academy-mates:)
my musical puzzle.
I grew up as the youngest of four sisters.
My father played cello, my mother played piano. I was mostly surrounded by classical music to begin with.
I was always finding animals to bring into the house and I was always playing in the garden.
When I was about 8 we rented a room to a man from Jamaica who taught me about slavery and introduced me to the album"Survival". That was the first record I wished for my Bday.
Later I went to some piano-lessons but I always ended up learning by ear as I couldn't read the notes easily.
My mother had a Billie Holiday record that became the inspiration to my joy of singing.
There is something soothing & healing in her tones.
My older sisters where listening to Beatles, Crusaders, David Bowie, Randy Crawford, and many more.
At my best friend place we heard her older brothers music like Frank Zappa, Thin Lizzy.
In the beginning of my twenties I listened to Jeff Buckley "Grace", Pearljam, Soundgarden. Then I was
asked to be the leadsinger in a Funk/Soul band and therefore I concentrated mostly on listening to that style of music for a period.
A couple of years ago I felt in love with turkish music too :)
I believe that my musicalpuzzle is a mix of it all !
not to forget one of the most important memories....
I used to love singing this song with my mother: "Donna, Donna"
to be continued ... "

Sometimes it gets quiet in the loudest moment
when words try to speak loud
what is lying within so silently
When the breath tries to bring out slowly
in the sweetest tones of a voice
what the heart wants someone to know
In a moment where lips start moving
and ears listening
To receive curiously what has been send with excitement
What eyes have mirrored so often before
But the mouth never confirmed
How quiet a moment can be
when words will be spoken loud
words you have quietly been waiting for!

Cloudy Sun
If the sun lies peaceful
in an ocean of clouds
nearly hidden
but warm & soft it shines
with a light that inspires
billions of minds.
So fragile
but either strong it seems
when it lies down there
to dream
its most precious dreams .
And like the cloudy blanket
keeps it warm
as warm
it keeps its shine
within many pillow clouds
that eliminate
so caring
any doubts.
To make sure
that it can comfortably rest
with wearing
for a little moment
this protective
cloudy dress.
Before the wind carefully
separates them
with the promise
that they will see each other
soon again.
Everything
is perfect like it is
Everything
is given
and nothing
seems to be missed.
If you see
how nature
loves and kiss.

- I saw a falling star yesterday and it was so powerful, just a special moment for me that I was allowed to see it that I wrote it down. Thank you soooo much Kirsten <3

If a star is falling
and the wish you find
drums loud your mind
And faith that highly grows
suddenly invisible shows
And your sparkling eyes
holding heaven in light
with shinning amazingly bright
And your heart stops
for a little while
to beat again
much stronger
with the most beautiful smile
Just seconds
that God shares with you
in the middle of a night
and you know
that even in the dark
lives something bright
that shines with faith
in the most beautiful light
If a star is falling
it's a rare diamond
you allowed to see
and your heart
receives once the permission
to hug a part of eternity

- There are so many things I won't understand because I do understand them - There are so many things I can't forget because I did forget the essential of them - There are so many tears I cry because I already cried them - There are so many years that passed because I already had them - There are so many things to learn looking back at them - There are so many smiles to smile if I smile right at them ;-)

Goodmorning :)
A quick little rhyme ...
You're different than me
we're like yellow and red
I am different than you
lets get orange instead
:-)
Happy day !
