That Robin Williams quote :D SO good! You are sooooo talented my beautiful friend! I play a bit of piano but that's as far as my musical prowess goes. I wish I could sing, I mean I still do, but very badly LOL! My husband is an amazing bass player, I feel like we need to get you, me, Rainbow and the hubby together and start some sort of band. Hahahaha. I'm not saying it would be good, but how much fun would we have? I always love coming to your blog, you make me so happy and positive for my day ahead! Love and hugs to you my beautiful friend and happy weekend! XO -Kim
ReplyDeleteI love that one ! I absolutely adore playing piano, it's my favourite instrument to be bad at ... my teacher says I'm playing the piece wrong and I tell her I'm just playing it in an impressionistic way haha :) My boyfriend plays bass as well ! What a strange coincidence <3 You're right we could be "The Busking Bloggers " hehe :)

Pretty sure if we lived in the same country we'd be baking buddies while our men played bass in the background hahaha! Love and hugs your way my friend! XO -Kim
DeleteThese quotes are so beautiful, thank you for sharing! I've also been singing for awhile (first in choir, then a cappella). When I was younger I learned how to play the violin, but now I'm very much out of practice. Lately I've been teaching myself the uke and guitar :) -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like them ! I'd love to sing in a choir, it must be such an amazing thing to do :) Violin is a very impressive and difficult instrument, if you could ever play it then in my eyes you're a genius ;) I love my guitar, I'm not good at playing but I love it and if anyone touches my guitar ... well lets just say they know about it haha !

Aww thank you Rainbow ! I don't play any of them particularly well I just kind of embrace being a bit rubbish because I mainly play to accompany my singing :) Aww I think the day my singing will be on the internet is a long way off but if I'm honest I've been thinking about it a lot more recently so who knows ! Hey, I like cats ( not so much the dying part hehe ) but that still says something ;) I completely relate, I don't know what I'd do without music ... probably be less glittery :)

Music truly is one of the most amazing things in the world. It can make me feel a wide range of emotions depending on the mood of the music or the memories it reminds me of. :]

OMG! Marianne you are like a musical prodigy :D haha. You are so talented :) I bet you have a beautiful voice!! <3 I love what you said about music and how it kind of gives us something to connect with others about. I think that music is just beautiful and it speaks words that we can't even express. I'm not really talented in the music department haha but I do love to listen to it. I don't really have a specific genre that I love more than the others, I just love to listen to anything that sounds beautiful you know? :D All of these quotes are great! I especially love all of them! hahaha. I love the quote " Music speaks what cannot be expressed soothes the mind and gives it rest heals the heart and makes it whole flows from heaven to the soul." Hope you're having a lovely week Marianne :) x
