Melody Gardot | Believe me when I say this woman gave me some kind of orgasm...

Querida Sofia,

Em inglês hoje, pode ser?

This hadn't happened in a long time. Let me explain. When I came to live in France, I bought a little music player, where I could listen to the radio or to an album. I used to love buying albums (iTunes is definitely corrupting me on that) at Fnac or Montpellier's newest Virgin Megastore (it was new when I went to live there in 2001) and playing them all night long. I used to listen to the most commercial crap that played on the radio & to new tracks that no one else would listen to unless they bought the whole thing. I fell in love with songs that were never spread to the mass(es) (which makes me love those songs even more).

Lately, with iTunes - that whore - I have been buying ponctual tracks I fall in love with. I don't listen to the whole albums anymore. I listen to what everybody listens to unless I have some music angel that sends me a special song that is full of special meanings between us. Or just a special song related to that sole person.

What happened is since I lost my laptop to milk, I cannot listen to my music anymore. All those hours spent doing huge 500 tracks playlists are gone and vanished. So I opened Deezer yesterday and asked for "Melody Gardot". It had been sometime I had fallen in love with her voice and her story of strength. A girl that is afraid of nothing after all that her life has made her endur, an accident that broke her just as a Frida Kahlo. And she is there. Alive, strong, feminine, beautiful... and just amazingly sweet. And to add up to this increasing love I am feeling for her, rumor has it that she LOVES Paris. Well, that one isn't difficult, right?!

I put the My One and Only Thrill album on. All night long. On repeat mode. And it made me travel straight to heaven. Better than an orgasm. Amazing how a woman, a tone and a voice can do it all. As if it were always that simple.

Baby I'm A Fool - I love it. Every person on earth that knows about Melody Gardot knows about this song.

If The Stars Were Mine - sweet, with some kind of latin flavor to it.

Who Will Comfort Me - jazzy, cabaret like. With this song I imagine a very sexy long legged girl on a piano. And with a twist.

Your Heart is as Black as Night - Jazzy again. The almost plain one. It has a Amy Winehouse feel to it.

Lover Undercover - Melody, the crooner. All I could say after listening to it. The lyric that kills it all? "why leave when it is so easy just to stay"... or something like that.

Our Love is Easy - sweet and smooth ballad. And who does not wish to have an easy love?

Les Etoiles - en français. Not my favorite though.

The Rain - languorous. Just as I like it when I feel we can be just... languorous.

My One and Only Thrill - an american like ballad. I fell it had this hymn little side tone in it.

Deep within The Corners of my Mind - I love this one. There is this romantic vibe about it that makes one believe that love can be found at any corner. And it defo can.

Over the Rainbow - the classic but in her own way. Absolutely approved.

I wish I could repeat such experience all the time. But it is impossible. I don't have time to listen to albums all the time. But next time I do, I hope it will be as sweet as this.

Traduzindo para português: gosto muito da Melody Gardot.
