I thought I would write a little bit about Alison Moyet, one of my favorite musical artists. I am listening to her as we speak. Her Hoodoo album is playing in the background as I type. She has really inspired a lot of emotion and love of music because of her songs. She is a definitely a great vocalist, singing with a distinct low voice. Haunting and mesmerizing is all I can think to describe some of her recent songs.
She recently teamed up with Vince Clarke this last year to do a special Yazoo tribute which I have viewed from YouTube, which is just as good as seeing her live I suppose. I don't like crowds usually, still which can be a hamper on life, but I prefer solitude as I guess I am a loner.
Alison has provided a staple of music for me since I was a teenager when my friend Aron first introduced me to her. It was that mix tape he gave me which had a few songs from that friend of his, a female which I cannot recall the name at this point. But ever since I heard those songs I had to get her music, starting with her album Alf and Raindancing. I then got Hoodoo and Essex. She then came out with some albums featuring her hits and singles. I got those too. I downloaded her album Hometime and she came out with a more recent album for which I haven't heard much from. I really liked her Hoodoo album, that's when I was going out with Jessica in highschool.
I've written several poems with Alison playing in the background, helping me focus on the words I needed to place on paper. I love the song from Hoodo, called House. It's so haunting, again that word which describes a lot of her vocal style.
She recently lost a lot of weight, as I have the software program called Ilike and saw her on one of her recent interviews which she also sings, this being in England. She is married to a man, which I first thought she was a lesbian, but I was wrong. It was good to see her with a thinner figure, as she was kind a big before. Not that it matters to me all that much, cuz he bolted out great vocals either way.
She toured in the USA I think last year as well, but I read in an article that she doesn't have a great following in the USA or something like that and cannot afford to play in America so that she is focusing on just playing in England. I would love to see her at a concert in the future before I die. I'd love to see her with Penny sometime if we and we should travel overseas. I would like it very much.
Alison Moyet provides me with such moving music and became one of my favorite female artists alongside Madonna. She really is that ecclectic singer which everyone secretly is fond of but no one really knows her. She is that woman to me.
I love her music because she is clearly singing from her heart and you can hear her voice so beautifully. You can follow the words and understand them easily......"Wishing you were here"....the song which she is singing right now.
I just saw a flea that landed on me, talk about a killer of a mood. We already sprayed the house, furniture and gave the cats and dogs a flea shampoo bath, medicated their backs and put flea collars on. I hope that what I just sprayed again will kill whatever was here. They must have hatched from eggs and didn't get killed from the previous treatment. I swear, we better not be going into a house where they will flourish in Florida. I will be so disappointed. That will ruin my mood for quite some time. I wish I didn't feel that flea ......I saw it, but didn't kill it cuz I wondered what it could be, then it jumped off my skin. Arggh.....
Anyway, I am gonna close this blog for now and think about what our next plan of action will have to be to kills these fleas.
