A for Alicia Keys

Just before I decided with finality that she is gone, my wishful thinking was granted by whoever that gave her a chance to be once again heard. As I was accidentally listening to Nora Jones as mentioned from my previous post, I did mention that I miss Alicia Keys not literally her as a being but her singing and her music. I think she is one of those beautiful artists - gifted and humble. When I was like checking online, my goodness, she is there. She is just touring Europe and her latest stop was in Warsaw, Poland. I don't have a copy of her latest album, "As I am", but I 'm saving for that and one of these days I can grab a copy for myself. I thought she was dormant already but my mistake, she is very active.

When I further scoured the treacherous web, I found her official site and got some info there. One of which is that, she is having a movie with Queen Latifah - "The Secret Life of Bees". I wonder if she makes it big here? Well she and the queen's movie is rated A+, and maybe it's a nice try. But I'd prefer to see her in music scenes and not in movies but I would still support her though. I mean if she has the talent in becoming an actor then I'd give her my support. I must admit I am a fan!

I think I will be making more blogs about those men and women in music, literature, art and all artistic individuals who are inspiring and worth to be shared to the world. I am thinking of featuring next about Paulo Coehlo or maybe Josh Groban.

Sunrise by Nora Jones

I woke up early. I mean 7A.M. is not my normal waking up time. I usually get up around 9AM. Just another ritual that I do is listen to music. I have a playlist that I randomly choose among the lists I have and I did not bother to check the specific songs that are in there. It began to play ABBA, then Josh Groban then this song. If I am not mistaken, the first time this song was played was in the year 2004. This song is Sunrise by Ms. Nora Jones. I wonder where she is right now. I have lost track of her to be honest with you but I love her including Alicia Keys - darn where are they! I find "Sunrise" really inspiring.

By the way here is the lyrics of the song:

"Sunrise"

Sunrise, sunrise
Looks like mornin' in your eyes
But the clocks held 9:15 for hours
Sunrise, sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
'Cause the afternoon's already come and gone

And I said hoo...
To you

Surprise, surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written all over my face
Surprise, surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day

And I said hoo...
To you

Now good night
Throw its cover down
On me again
Ooh and if I'm right
It's the only way
To bring me back

Hoo...
To you
Hoo...

And thanks to youtube.com, here is the clip which I would like to share to you as well:
