Mike: As I said I have a very wide taste for a variety of music styles. I even like some of the classics. Enrico Morricone in movies....Depends upon the moment, place and mood I prefer to listen to one or another style and artist. I like Sarah Boyle voice but don't usually hear her much. For solist singers I like Leonard Cohen because of the words, his bass almost cracked voice, and the sentiment he puts while interpreting a song. It sometimes has to do with music and sometimes has to do with the words and the way that is interpreted, other times is both. For instance there is music in Spanish that many Spanish strongly dislike and I like it because of the joy, dancing energy for living transmited. In that cases the words are not very important and usually are very silly but what is important is the uplifting effect that produces in one. And I call that art too. Mayka

Although having said that, Sarah Boyle makes my ears bleed, but in a completely different way.

But not Sex Pistols and alike. I'm not into that. Are you into that kind of dynamic noise wave?. However, I still listen from time to time to Pink Floyd. Music is like everything else depends on the moment, place and mood I prefer to listen to some or another. I don't listen to only one specific style. But a bit from here a bit from there. What about you?. What kind of music do you listen to?. What do you like?

I haven't heard of that film about a paralyzed man, but when you wrote that ...and he dreams to have all that.... then I thought he's not so different from us after all!

Sorry you didn't like it. But don't worry too much about it. We don't have to agree on this one. It's not too important. It's just a different way of perceiving things. No more than that. This version is singing by a Japanese singer. Not sure if original music is a DVD from Japan with the tittle "I Dreamt a Dream" . The version interpreted by Sarah Boyle was used in a Spanish movie with the tittle: "Mar Adentro" (Sea Inside) and was given an Oscar premium. Haven't watched yet. But someone told me that is about a man who is very disable and can't do much except to see life passing by in his bed....All the thing that we take for granted such as being in good health, having a pair of legs to walk, to dance....and he dreams to have all that.... We take for granted what we have and forget to recognise it, be grateful for all that and instead we desire, chase after what we don't have. Pasting a short shot of the movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyF4Kz4TIv0 Mayka PS. I do like the lyrics and the singing from the Japanese singer and Sarah Boyle too. --- On Tue, 8/3/11, mike brown <[email protected]> wrote: From: mike brown <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Zen] Something Refreshing To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, 8 March, 2011, 12:32 Mayka, Took a look at the video (and I appreciate the gesture), but it just didn't do it for me (especially as Susan Boyle has also covered it... ssshhiver). Personally, I find that 'escaping into the sky to escape pain, anger, loneliness etc. is a cowards way out. Much better (for me), is to kamikaze, dive-bomb into the whole shitty mess and grab life by the throat and spit in its eye. Mind you, this is the Age of Aquarius so maybe I'm out on a limb here. Hope you still love and respect me for just telling you how it is? xx Mike From: Maria Lopez <[email protected]> To: Zen Forum <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, 8 March, 2011 19:37:59 Subject: [Zen] Something Refreshing A refreshment to you all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNmzKikXZyY Mayka
