Heeeyyy long time no see!
I could start explaining the reasons why I took a break from writing, but I'll save it for another post. I needed some time off and I've also thought of making some minor changes to my blog. The concept stays the same: I write from the depths of my heart, because I just don't know any other way. But the appearance and the way I present it might change...it's all still in process.
Any who!
My husband first played me this songs a month after he randomly found it on youtube. It's been watched over 200 million times, so there's a great chance that you've already seen it or at least heard it. It's by a Belgian artist called Stromae who I've never heard of before, even though he's been successful in Europe and has had Kanye West featuring on the remix of his hit single Alors On Danse. The song is in french so for you to get the full picture of it, you need to click on the settings and add subtitles (they only have them in english, but isn't it genius??). The style of music isn't necessarily what I usually listen to, but this song is so powerful in its message that it moved me at my core. Stromae's videos are often really well and interestingly made and I just love when the visual empowers the song to reach its full potential. And this is a perfect example of exactly that. I've watched the video several times, first just reading the lyrics (subtitles) and then taking in the message the video conveys. I suggest you take the time to really listen, watch and process this song, I'm pretty sure many of you can relate to it in one way or the other.

Ps. Vevo might not let me play the song on my site, but you can click on the link "watch on youtube".
