Recently I’ve made a striking discovery: listening to music from the nineties makes me feel good. I was both shocked and hurt this music had this effect on me. I mean, nostalgia is something old people have, right? Longing back to the 50s and 60s, the good times that will …
This week I chose the song ‘American Woman’ by Lenny Kravitz for the prompt about an American song by an American group. The only irony is that the song was originally written and performed by the Canadian band ‘The Guess Who’ in 1970. I chose this song anyway, because Lenny …
The album ‘Back to Basics’ is my favourite album by Christina Aguilera. It was released in 2006, and I listened to it many times. Next to my all-time favourite song ‘Nasty Naughty Boy,’ ‘Candyman’ is definitely up there with the best songs. I love the lyrics of the song. I …
A few weeks ago, I saw a video of an opera singer, a 65-year-old man, who had learned a new technique. He had asked his vocal coach how to sing a particular style. Many people were surprised he still had a teacher. Surely, after years of having a successful career …

Tell Me About – Questions I identify as a submissive. How do I know? Am I really? And am I happy with this role in life? So many questions I have asked regarding my sexuality. I was aware and sure of it at an early age, but it hasn’t always …
Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourite Disney movies, and I mean the cartoon one, not the live-action remake. This was actually one of the few we owned on VCR (VHS here in Holland). Disney movies were always expensive, and we weren’t allowed to watch cartoons featuring a …
This week’s prompt for Song Lyric Sunday is ‘Old, New, Borrowed, Blue’. I found the perfect song which completely fit the profile: Marry Me by No Doubt. I’ve enjoyed music by No Doubt for a long time. Of course, I know their biggest hit, ‘Don’t Speak,’ but I especially appreciate …
Tell Me Something True Mind or Body Question If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you choose, and why? I would choose the body, but …
