Monday's Song : Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers

 There are a lot of people around me. Some of them are friends, but most of the other just strangers. Sometimes talking and share things with strangers it's nice and when the subject is music, it's even better. 

Greetings to all of you, perfect strangers!!

Music by Vangelis from the soundtrack "Alexander The Great", dedicated to my son's nameday!!

 

The Ballads Of My Life

Of the millions of songs that have been written, several thousands are in my personal library. Most of them have accompanied me in various emotional phases of my life and at some point they were material for music collections.

Given my love for ballads, it was inevitable for me to choose songs of this kind, to create a collection with the obvious title "The Ballads Of My Life".

The selection of the songs included in this collection was mainly based on the year they were written-released, starting from 1963 [year I was born], but taking into account how much they matched my feelings, the time I listened to them.

Many of them were presented, day by day, in Rock Music and Words, my previous blog.

I have divided them in three parts, trying to cover three periods of my life. The youth, the years I was wandering [working - romancing - travelling] and the rest as a family man.

The collection ends in 2021, hoping that God and the circumstances of life will give me the opportunity to add more for the next years.

Taking into account that most of them, if not all, are known, I hope your feelings will be aroused as well.
