this is my very first blog post here so I guess I should begin with an introduction. My name is Thelma, I'm a lawyer, makeup artist, writer and blogger (www.thelmathinks.blogspot.com). I'm female, in case you haven't already figured that out, and I'm in my very very late twenties. That was quite shocking; twenties. I feel nothing like the way the word "twenties" ought to make one feel; young, bubbly, idealistic, or should I say unrealistically optimistic... No, I'm quite certain I don't feel that way, but when you're tottering on the edge of thirty that's quite understandable, no?
So on to my topic of the day; I'd keep this very light as I'm still getting acquainted with you guys. Just a few minutes ago I was laying on my sofa with a thousand thoughts in my head, browsing the net for something new and interesting when Adele's "someone like you" begins to play on Sound City and immediately; goose pimples all over my flesh! It's amazing that years after that track first came out and after listening to it a hundred million times over it still has this effect on me. Wow!
As it turns out, I'm presently not in any form of love-entanglement or anything remotely romantic, otherwise I would have had tears in my eyes by the time song ended. Still, having that silky smooth voice caress my ears, my heart and all my senses elevated me to planes far beyond my living room sofa. The words transported me to times when I knew love and love knew me... then left me.
There's so much power in music, more than most people seem to realize. Is there any song that has such a strong effect on you? One that transports or elevates you each and every time you hear it? Isn't it such a surreal feeling...
