Cookies & Infectious Melodies

I got a parcel the other day full of fun little surprises. It wasn't from Rainham, to my great discontent, but it looked like the parcel had gone on a little trip to Ethiopia before arriving to my letter box - it's a parcel with a long history, I can tell you, it's got battle wounds and all.

It's so much fun to get things in the mail. Maybe emailic technology makes life easier, gets you in touch with people quicker, and reduces the chances of getting paper cuts, but nothing replaces the joy of opening a hand written letter, or even better, of opening a parcel.

Among the humorous content of the package came a discreet cd of grand quality. A singer/songwritter by the name of Teitur , emerging from the Faroe Islands. His cd is the kind which you listen to in a loop for hours on end. The kind where each song flows into the next, forming a satisfying whole. The harmonies and acoustic guitar keep you hanging, wanting more.

Much thanks goes out to the Petit Sommelier for introducing me to quality music. Teitur's up there on my list of favourites.

"There's too much sky, not enough blue
There's too many questions to why I love you
There's too many clouds, not enough sun
The rain must fall on everyone

I'm fire - you're the ocean
I'm energy - you're the rhythm
Love is somewhere in between
What you believe and what you dream
I'm just trying to make you mine
You're the ocean

There's too much doubt and not enough dare
There's too much decision everywhere
There's too much talk and not enough time
Let's close our eyes and not our minds

I'm fire - you're the ocean
I'm energy - you're the rhythm
Love is somewhere in between
What you believe and what you dream
I'm just trying to make you mine

You look for leads, I follow clues
You love to win, I dare to lose
Mostly, you're a mind game in my head
You are earth, I am water
I can give you what you're after
You can be the word : I can be the rhyme

There's really nothing you can do
You're going where I'm going too
Stay beside me, stay beside me
I want you

I'm fire - you're the ocean
I'm energy - you're the rhythm
Love is somewhere in between
What you believe and what you dream
I'm just trying to make you mine
You're the ocean"

"Been thinkin' bout you tonight, how sweetly you bring light.
You're the ray of the sun, and I'm the shade of a shadow"

Ps: Contrary to popular belief, the Faroe Islands aren't the ones next to Egypt.
