Does the perfect love song exist?
A modern sonnet in the form of a three-minute tune, where murmuring violins merge with a sensual bass-line throughout the verse, leading the listener to that long-awaited chorus, where the declaration of never-ending love takes place. Finding the right words and putting them into a poem or song has always been human […]

That’s right. I don’t like DeVotchKa but I do like Coldplay. What about it?
This post has been a long time coming, mostly because I have been (and still am) somewhat unsure as to how I feel about this concert. Not that it was bad, of course. It was really great and the opening act (Basia Bulat) was really great and the crowd was really pumped but…
