Dawabni El Hawa – Ghassan Haliba
If you follow me long enough on this blog you might have guessed my fondness of Arabic rhythms. Another incredible example of the uniqueness of Arabic musical pieces is this one by Ghassan Saliba.
One Hundred Times – Lakesha Nugent
I first heard this song while watching a YouTube video of one of my favourite youtubers (Dat Lilly) and I was hooked at once by it’s vibes.
Σε ποιον να πω το σ ΄αγαπώ – Μιχάλης Χατζηγιάννης και Δήμητρα Γαλάνη
This song warmed my soul so much! Saying I love you to anyone else but the one who has captured your heart is simply impossible. Years may pass but the fire of longing and affection still burns…
Tennessee Waltz – Patti Page
The Tennessee Waltz is such a classic country song and Patti Page’s 1950 recording made it into a multimillion seller.
A Part of This – Asaf Avidan
What can I say about this amazing song? It reminds me of the relationship between myself and a very special person that is now so far away and yet his presence is still felt vividly.

While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great River Anduin—alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.
