My future (imaginary) job.

In a parallel world, I would like to be a famous singer of a rock band. I think it would be very funny, but very stressing at the time. Funny because, who doesn’t want to be a rock star? Jajaja, and stressing because you have to be very responsible with the essays, the creation of the music, and the tours! If you are sick, you can’t cancel a concert for a cold, and also, it takes a lot of time.
   
The most of the time I think that I would spend my time in studios, because you have to create new music and it is really difficult. And also you have to do band rehearsals to improve your techniques.

If I were a band singer, I would like that my band was very famous, because if we are famous, we would be able to do a lot of tours, so then I would visit a lot of different places and countries.

To be a great singer, I would study to do that in “Escuela Moderna de Música” first, but then, I’ll try to study in others countries, where music is better and important, like England.

But for now, I just dream and play music sometimes with my friends. I try to improve my voice to do a better music, but now It’s just for fun (:


Thanks for reading!

My favorite piece of art

Hi everyone! There are many pieces of art that I like a lot, so I couldn’t pick just one as my favorite, but I’ll talk about something that I really like.

There’s a song by “A Perfect Circle” that I’ll never be tired of listening to. The song is called “Weak and Powerless”; it was recorded and released in 2003 in North Hollywood, California. It is the first single from their second album “Thirteen Step”. Also, this song was part of the soundtrack of the movie “Underworld”.

The meaning that I see in this song is how people can feel sometimes so desperate and lonely, that they just don’t know what to do to stop feeling that way, and they try so hard to fill the hole that is inside them with everything that they found, but they efforts are useless, because they can’t find the right answer of what they need.

In the video you can see a nude woman with a long white hair, and she is grabbing a lot of reptiles and throwing them into a dark hole. For me it’s like a metaphor of how she is trying to fill the hole in she, but in the end, she still have it.

 This song is so depressing, that strangely, it helps me when I’m sad, because I feel that I can vent a lot of anger and pressure, and then I feel more relieved.


Here is the video if you want to see it! (:

My favorite concert

Hello everyone! Today I’m going to talk about something that I love, concerts.

My favorite concert was when I saw for second time to Steven Wilson. Why the second time? That’s because I won a “meet & greet”, so I could meet him! It was an amazing experience, because I admire him a lot, he is my favorite musician. He is taller than me, but is short to be men. I ask to him for a hug, and he says "of course, hugs are free!", I was very happy in that moment (his body is so warm, and I find him so handsome ajajaj). Steven is the singer, the main guitarist, sometimes he plays the piano, and the main composer of the band Porcupine Tree, but he also has a lot of other projects like No-man, Blackfield, Bass Communion, Storm Corrosion (with the Opeth’s vocalist,  Mikael Åkerfeldt), and a solo project: Steven Wilson.

The concert was in May, 2013, in “Teatro Oriente”. He came to play he last album “The Raven that Refused to Sing (and other stories)”. It was very amazing, because, he loves to create a great atmosphere, it’s not just the music, he also uses a lot of lights and videos, and he has a transparent curtain that cover all the musicians, and there he projected some videos, and in the perfect moment, the curtain fell down.  I went with my boyfriend, because we both love his music. I remember that had a lot of different feelings, and I just started to cry! I was very happy to be in there, I just felt that I transported to another place, it felt so good, because all the people who as there, went to see him and his music, it seems that for all it was a very special moment.


My favorite song (in the concert) was postcard, it’s a really emotive and sad song, and there I started to cry (jajaja). The music just enters into me, and I felt all the feelings of the song. Here I let a video of the song in a Mexico concert if you want to listen to it!
