Reminiscing..

I’ve been sitting here for hours listening to the music from my youth.. from the 80’s and 90’s.. Reminiscing..

I’ve always maintained that I was born in the wrong era.. or not early enough..

Listening to this music also reminds me of being in Portugal.. that country has amazing taste in music.. I fit.. So well..

We would stay up all night, talking, drinking.. arguing about which artists were better and why.. then wherever we were, we would spill out onto the street to find a bar playing live music so we could dance the night away.. literally.

We usually ended up in Docks or Arte – Both located in Santos.. both amazing.. or we’d end up somewhere in Cais do Sodré or down the street of one of the bars in Bairro Alto..

I miss it.. I miss it a lot..

There’s something to be said about the way music from the past just changes your mood.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Reckless With Your Love-Azari and III(sound is very 80s)
You Can’t Stop The Rain-Loose Ends
Feeling Lucky Lately-High Fashion
Riding The Tiger-Phyllis Hyman
Kamo(Dark Stripe)-Arto Lindsay

- You can’t stop the rain is one of my faves! It’s just so smooth.. and relaxing.. In my opinion anyway!
  Feelin Lucky Lately! Ha! I don’t even remember when I heard this song.. but I’m sure it came out about 6 or 7 years before I was born.. I used to workout to this song a lot.. it had that kind of beat.. those were ALWAYS good work outs 🙂
  Definitely born too late! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Sounds great. Do you think you’ll ever move back there?

- I’ve been considering it..
  I’ll move wherever.. I’ll love to see the world..
  But I would love to go back.. Their economy needs to pick up though.. but I love the place..

  - Then you should, always follow your dreams mate. Me and Bones might even come visit someday, as long as you find a place with somewhere he can widdle!
