Wonderful! I was listening to “The Armed Man: Sanctus” by Karl Jenkins
This is a favourite. “O Fortuna” Carmina Barana by Andre Rieu.
I was listening to “Für Elise” Bagatelle by Ludwig van Beethoven. It is indeed one of my favourite pieces. I had a musical box with a ballerina who used to dance to this, when you wound it up. My lovely childhood memories. ❤️
Aww, Aled Jones on Classic fm. I can remember the young Aled Jones and the Toys ‘R’ Us advertising campaign, the recording propelled 15-year-old Aled into stardom.
Aled has been known to sing a section in falsetto on his tours, much to the delight of audience members.”
Listening to classical music can be soothing and beneficial for mental well-being. I find that my productivity significantly improves when I incorporate classical music into my work environment, i.e., doing the housework. 🙂
As the sun dips low, the sky aglow, Love whispers softly, in colors that flow. A tender glow where shadows play, The heart beats slower at the close of day.
In hues of pink, of gold, of red, Like words unsaid, love’s softly spread. A quiet peace, yet passion’s fire, In every glance, a sweet desire.
The world stands still, the moment’s true, As dusk embraces me and you. Like the sun’s last kiss on the earth so wide, Love lingers gently, as time slips aside.
As darkness falls and stars awake, In love’s soft warmth, we hesitate. For like the sunset, love fades away, But its memory lingers, day after day.
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to see one of my favourite boy bands, “Take That” at the O2. They delivered an outstanding performance; however, as someone who grew up in the 1980s, I particularly fondly remember the era when Robbie Williams and Jason Orange were part of the band. Despite their departure, the group continues to thrive today with Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen:
I loved the film
Robbie has always had a playful and charismatic persona, which I appreciated alongside the rest of the group. In fact, I joined his website approximately 20 years ago under the pseudonym “SmileyRose,” it was during the days I used to write annonoumously.
Several years ago, I posted on a local forum expressing my desire for a more centrally located cinema. To my surprise, my suggestion was met with a positive response.
This evening, I attended a screening of the film “Better Man,” on my own. The film portrayed Robbie Williams from youth to statdom.. I had been eagerly anticipating the right film to watch at the Odeon cinema at Queensgate, which is a welcoming and modern venue. I thoroughly enjoyed both the cinema experience and the film itself, especially since today was my day off work, after the Christmas holiday.
I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the directors and cast of this film; it was truly remarkable. I was genuinely moved and even shed a few tears.
What resonated with me the most was the portrayal of Robbie. While the film depicted his early struggles with fame, substance abuse, and personal challenges, it also highlighted his journey of transformation and redemption.
As a long-time fan of Robbie Williams’ music, I was delighted to hear some of my favorite songs featured in the film. His humor reflects a quintessentially British charm, and I found him to be exceptionally entertaining.
Overall, the film was an excellent storytelling experience, and I would certainly consider watching it again.
