Christopher Moonlight Mermaid Artwork

Erato


"To me the mermaids show the two sides of the human condition. There is the side of us that the world sees, and then there is the side that is more truly us. The side that we keep hidden, for we know not if anyone will understand is what people are so quick to judge, and fear in this day and age, so we keep it beneath the surface."

Estonian Eurovision Obsession... English Translation

I just can't get enough of this song, so I thought it was might be a good idea to actually know what I was singing in Estonian...

The Nomads

In the desert heat, the sand
blows like ice-cold snow
The night soon spreads its wings
Nothing but the wind to escort the nomads

That is the way they wander from one day to the next
That is the way they wander from one life to the next
That is the way it weaves an invisible path
on them, it waits until you are ready to take the risk

It carries only frozen souls
The moonlight makes their shadows
Warmth in a ray of sunlight
is what the morning brings once again

That is the way they wander from one day to the next
That is the way they wander from one life to the next
That is the way it weaves an invisible path
on them, it waits until you are ready to take the risk

They wander from one day to the next
They wander from one life to the next
It weaves an invisible path
It waits until you are ready to take the risk

A voice echoes across the mountains up to the heavens

That is the way they wander from one day to the next
That is the way they wander from one life to the next
That is the way it weaves an invisible path
on them, it waits until you are ready to take the risk
That is the way

One of my favs from Eurovision

I just thought I would share the Estonia entry: RÄNDAJAD - URBAN SYMPHONY...



I love it!

Lyrics

Performer: Urban Symphony
Song title: Ra"ndajad
Song writer(s): Sven Lo~hmus
Song composer(s): Sven Lo~hmus

ra"ndajad…

ko~rbekuumuses liiva
lendab kui ja"a"ku"lma lund
o"o" peagi laotamas tiivad
ra"ndajaid saatma ja"a"b tuul

see on tee
nad ra"ndavad nii pa"evast pa"eva
see on tee
nad ra"ndavad siis ajast aega
see on tee
ta na"htamatu rajana kulgeb
nende tee
ta ootab kui riskida julged

ku"lmunud hingi vaid saadab
kuuvalgus varje neist loob
pa"ikesekiirena sooja
hommik taas endaga toob

see on tee
nad ra"ndavad nii pa"evast pa"eva
see on tee
nad ra"ndavad siis ajast aega
see on tee
ta na"htamatu rajana kulgeb
nende tee
ta ootab kui riskida julged

nad ra"ndavad nii pa"evast pa"eva
nad ra"ndavad siis ajast aega
ta na"htamatu rajana kulgeb
ta ootab kui riskida julged

u"le ma"gede taevasse kaigub ha"a"l

nad ra"ndavad nii pa"evast pa"eva
nad ra"ndavad siis ajast aega
ta na"htamatu rajana kulgeb
ta ootab kui riskida julged

see on tee

Eurovision

I know the winner has already been announced, but in Australia the grand final is on tonight (well right now) and I have been avoiding the news all day so I wouldn't hear who had won. Sad, I know! I'll put my predictions in for the winner: Greece. Although I hope France, Estonia or of course Finland win!

ANTM: Episode 3

  1. Franky and Mikarla are just as bad as each other.
  2. Cassi just needs a pill to chillax and maybe even a few (err, many) etiquette classes from the ladies at Eggleston Hall.
  3. What is with the LACK of make-over for all of the girls?!?!?! Boo.
  4. I still like Lola even though stealing 'Firecrackers' line was nasty.
  5. Claire and Eloise's beauty shots were amazing.
  6. Madison is like a lost little puppy who needs a brush. Her hair was so nice after the make over and she rocks up to the shoot with a nest. Gah.

Eloise / Gisele

My obsession. I am currently reading Book of longing: by Leonard Cohen. Awe-inspiring.

I am trying out a new site called Polyvore

Don't do it. You'll waste hours!


But Oh, I do love it so.

Headbands and Bandeaus

Aren't these just the cutest! I saw these (and hats) at the Vintage Fair and decided to do a search on the web to see if I could find some on the cheap side... or even how to make one for myself!

Custom Made from ruby and crickette (photos below).. or from an eBay store I found, here.
