ME AND MY WORLD.......

I AM A HOPELESS ROMANTIC ! And to me that is a virtue. I just get carried away when soft sentimental songs fill the air conditioned air in my sedan whenever I travel along the highway.It's amazing what listening to these songs can do to me. I get transported to my own nostalgic domain , filled with pleasant memories and the  magic swings of days gone by. When I listen to these songs I don't just listen to the music and the vocal , but most of all I immersed myself in the lyrics. Some of these lyrics are just beautiful ....... with narrations of sweet undying love and strong commitments to the love of one's life .What a beautiful world !!!

The ' Classic National' channel on the radio is fantastic. I just love those songs that are accompanied with instruments such as the trumpet, saxaphone  and accordion. Those 50s and 60s era have the most beautiful melody that really soothes the ear.The musical band appears  unassuming and gently persuasive, with intervals of solo saxaphone and choral blends that are aptly  intertwined.  I wish I am in a position of authority that can promote this kind of music to the modern audio world .

As for  lyrics, I simply love the lovely words crooned by the likes of Tan Sri P Ramlee, Ray Charles, Johnny Mathis and Broery Marantika. The estatic elements in the rhyme and rhythm  floats the memory to things beautiful and sentimental. And of course John Lennon's  'Imagine' helps steer the mind to dream on........

By the way , I do cry at the movies too!!!
