| My cravings for music vary according to mood, weather, landscape, what I’m doing, what I’m thinking/dreaming of, whether it’s danceable, belly-danceable, etc. These days, I seem to go for a particular, soulful kind of voice, like those of Eva Cassidy (such beautiful songs, too), Michael Bolton, Patrick Bruel, Norah Jones or Dulce Pontes, among others. |

Hi Conchita,
Listening to that Nelly Furtado album again it occurred to me that there is one song in Portoguese called No Hay Igual (ha, I hope it is Portoguese and not Spanish ). Anyway, do you understand the lyrics of that song? Please take a look here:
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas, el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
(What it is?) Ven y mira lo! Venga y acaba con mi dolor Loco para ti por favor, y ya conozco tu olor
(What it is?) Mucho gusto se?or Cuando estoy contigo siento tanto calor. Me pongo loco con tu amor Y ya entiendo tu valor
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas, el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
el hambre que tengo tienes que matar mi copa otro d?a tienes que llenar Dime que nunca me vas dejar (What it is?) Pero no demoras. Cada d?a mi cuerpo llora cuantas cosas quiero, a ese se?or quiero que yo quiero, yo lo quiero ahora
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas, el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
Me levantas cuando cantas a mi nombre (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Me levantas cuando cantas a mi nombre (oh-oh-ohhhh) Ay que lindo, es mi chico, tengo listo (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Ay que ni?o, necesito, tu sonido (ah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhh)
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas, el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

Sorry, Torsten, wrong guess! Those lyrics are in Spanish, though not the best one, be it said in passing. |

Hi Conchita, that's kind of interesting since Nelly Furtado has a Portugese background rather than a Spanish one... _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

I brought over 200 cd's with me to China in fact I always travel with my music. Since Portuguese was brought up I will put in my two cents. There is no finer female vocalist than Alcione. An incredible range, a voice that is filled with saldage, hope I spelled that right.
I agree, that the mood influences the choice. It might be Nick Lowe, Squeeze, Jethro Tull, James Brown, Garbage, Mozart. Oh, it's just so hard to have a favorite.
The last few cd's? Collective Soul, Ace of Base, Forro: Music for Maids and taxi drivers, Gail Costas: My name is Gal, Bowie, Costello, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Its curious that you ask if we are listening something in special right now,I thought none of you were listening something while writing because its easy to be distracted by those songs,and answering your question yes,Im listening a mix of songs Angel-Jessica simpson The flame-Cheap trick Don't tell me-Avril Lavigne Incomplete-Backstreet boys Wonderwall-Oasis Fool again-westlife etc,etc, Its a way to develope listening abilities,don't you think?

Hello everyone,
I've recently bought the current Red Hot Chili Peppers album "Stadium Arcadium" -- these guys are obviously very productive as Stadium Arcadium doesn't consist of just one CD but two each containing 14 songs! I must admit I don't like all of them but there are some that are absolutely terrific such as "Especially In Michigan". Anyone every heard that song? Here is a bit of background on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especially_in_Michigan _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |
