A song that I like...

A song that I’ve been listening a lot today is "The ground beneath her feet", it was written by U2 for a movie called "The Million Dollar Hotel".

The first time I heard it was in the movie which, by the way, is quite underrated and underground despite of the great actors it has (Mel Gibson, Milla Jovovich). I loved it the first time because it absolutely represents the feelings expressed in the movie, and as the movie was so intense and deep, the song made me feel the same way the actors did ahahaha!

Basically it’s an alternative pop song about the feelings “Tom” had about “Eloise”. Tom was a guy with some kind of mental deficit and Eloise was a girl who was absolutely out of her mind. The music and the lyrics are so well done (In my opinion of course) that I just love it, and every time I listen to it, it makes me remind the whole movie and the interesting story of love that never could actually happen.

So here is the video, I hope you guys have the opportunity of watching this movie, it’s great, interesting, but way different than the rest of movies starred by the actors I named before. Put attention to the video and music....I just love that song!!!

My husband: The Ipod

I have always been a music lover, since I was a child I've been collecting cassettes, vinyls and CDs, every time i had some money i used to go immediately to the music shop and buy discs or whatever I could find related to the music i liked. 

When I was a teenager my grandmother gave me my first Sony Walkman CD player and since then I couldn't stop carrying my CDs in a huge case everywhere. What a task! The fact is that i actually never really cared much about it, i had my music wherever and whenever i wanted but the only thing i hated about it was that i never had enough room to put all of my music, so at the beginning of every week i used to choose the CDs i wanted to play from Monday to Sunday...

When the Mp3 trend started i hated it, the music quality was the worst ever! i was so used to my CD player that i never bought an mp3 until one day i heard about the Ipods and the mp4 new stuff... 30 GB of music in a tiny little thing? Unbelievable!! So when I went to the USA i tried one of them and it sounded great, not like the old mp3s! I bought one immediately and since then i never stopped listening to my music, all of my music, videos and pictures in one! I've been using Ipods since 2005 and i absolutely love it, I consider myself an addicted to ipods. Now i own an Ipod Touch, but it's the same...i couldn't go back to the old days and carry my music in a huge case, there's no way I’m doing that! The only thing that hasn't really changed is that i still buying music in shops because of the sound quality, which for me is really important.

I love my ipod, I couldn’t live without it!

That’s it, my most beloved piece of technology!

See you guys!
