“Η κομψή και εκλεπτυσμένη μελωδία ανεβάζει το επίπεδο της διασκέδασης. Οι υπέροχες εναλλαγές της κάνουν την φαντασία μας πιο ζωηρή. Το μυαλό χαλαρώνει και μπορεί να ονειροπολεί ανενόχλητο. Ο ρυθμός με την δροσερή και κεφάτη διάθεση του μας παρασύρει άλλοτε σε ένα ζωντανό χορό και άλλοτε σε αισθησιακό λίκνισμα.”

“Χορεύοντας ένα ρομαντικό blues με τα φώτα χαμηλωμένα βλέπω στο πρόσωπο σου καθαρά την ευτυχία. Η μελωδία μας αγκαλιάζει και γεμίζει με αγάπη το χώρο. Τα αισθησιακά φωνητικά μας ψιθυρίζουν στα αφτιά όσα θέλουμε να ακούσουμε και ο ρυθμός διακριτικά και ήρεμα δημιουργεί την κατάλληλη ατμόσφαιρα για εμάς.”

Lyrics of Jason LaPierre x Anthony Lazaro – Here to Stay

One day we will find out if we’re meant to be together
I just hope these feelings slowly linger on forever
Though nothings guaranteed
I think you’re meant for me
I guess we’ll have to wait and see

No matter what I’ll always try my best to understand
What you need and listen while you hold me by the hand
So let’s just take it slow
We’ll see where this may go
What’s meant to be will be, God only knows

And I couldn’t tell you
How long I’ve been waiting
For someone like you
Someone to care for
And help make their dreams become true
At least a few

I know this happened fast and there’s no telling this will last
You can hold me closely till you overcome the past
I promise when I say
Until we find our way
That you can guarantee I’m here to stay

And I couldn’t tell you
How long I’ve been waiting
For someone like you
Someone to care for
And help make their dreams become true
At least a few

I know this happened fast and there’s no telling this may last
You can hold me closely till you overcome the past
I promise when I say
Until we find our way
That you can guarantee I’m here to stay
That you can guarantee I’m here to stay

When Inspiration Takes a Dive – Penny Towers

Categories: Audio, Jazz, Song, Spotify, The Latest|Tags: Comedy, Jazz, Penny Towers, Review (GR), Spotify Playlist - Jazz by Nagamag, United States|

“Τα φωνητικά με τη δυναμική τους ενέργεια και το πάθος τους μας αφηγούνται τόσο επιτυχημένα την ιστορία τους και γινόμαστε ένα με αυτά. Η ωραία μελωδία με ένα μυστηριακό τρόπο και με ευελιξία μας πλησιάζει και μας παρασύρει μαζί της. Ο ζωντανός ρυθμός μας καλεί σε ένα ριψοκίνδυνο χορό που μας γοητεύει όσο κι αν αντιστεκόμαστε.”

Lyrics of Penny Towers – When Inspiration Takes a Dive

When inspiration takes a dive
it’s hard for a songwriter to survive
In the modern day world
Nothing special is unfurled
No when inspiration takes a dive
the lyrics droop they don’t sound alive
and that annoying refrain
simply thumps in your brain

And then you try to write another new page
The rhymes are going out of your head
and it puts you in a rage
Your melody is getting away from you
And that harmony’s not going to pull you through
Oh, when inspiration takes a dive
it’s hard for a songwriter to survive
In the modern day world nothing unique is unfurled

Oh when inspiration takes a dive
The lyrics droop
They don’t sound alive
and that annoying refrain it simply thumps in your brain
When inspiration takes a dive it difficult for a songwriter to survive

Lyrics of Ashley Fredette – little bossa nova

this is a little bossa nova
about my little cute life
i’ve got a little love, and i’ve got a little dog
and a nice, cozy bed to lay my head at night

and i haven’t even told ya
about my little cute house
it’s full of vintage things, and i really like to think
that i’m living in a greta garbo world

in my little bossa nova world
there’s a record player on the shelf
with vinyl from the 30’s, to musicals, to carole king
to clueless… and the spice girls

and i haven’t even shown ya
my studio where i produce my songs
a little logic pro, keyboard, microphone, and here we go
let’s make some magic, won’t you come along?

what a dream… this little haven i adore
how could i need anything more?
it’s glitz and glam meets instagram, what fun
a quintessential, timeless elegance
romanticizing life through bette davis eyes, oh
bossa nova baby, evermore

la la la, la la…

what a dream… this little haven i adore
how could i need anything more?
it’s golden age meets tiktok craze galore
i’m satisfied, iconic, never bored
i’m dancing through life, i’m judy haynes in white christmas
bossa nova baby, evermore
romanticizing life through bette davis eyes, oh
bossa nova baby
bossa nova baby
bossa nova baby, evermore

“Ένα υπέροχο μουσικό ξεφάντωμα μας υπόσχεται η αισθησιακή και κεφάτη μελωδία. Τα φωνητικά με τις εξαιρετικές δυνατότητες τους ανεβάζουν το επίπεδο της διασκέδασης. Η καθαρή χροιά, η έκταση τους αλλά και το ταπεραμέντο τους είναι ένας μοναδικός συνδυασμός. Ο ρυθμός ασταμάτητος και ζωηρός μας απελευθερώνει και διώχνει μακριά κάθε δισταγμό μας.”

Lyrics of The Beard and the Bird – Dust If You Must

Dust if you must, but wouldn’t it be better
To paint a picture, or write a letter,
Bake a cake, or plant a seed;
Ponder the difference between want and need?

Dust if you must, but there’s not much time,
With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;
Music to hear, and books to read;
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.

Dust if you must, but the world’s out there
With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair;
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
This day will not come around again.

Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it’s not kind.
And when you go (and go you must)
You, yourself, will make more dust.
