Songs That Make Me Cry

I heard a French song, ages ago, and I forgot the lines to look it up on Youtube. This song made me cry instantly! I thought it was beautiful, because the women wasn't actually singing. It's a mix of singing and talking with a hoarse women's voice. Very soft and sentimental. If you know a bit of French, you can relate to it.
A couple of months later, I heard it again and I had to cry again, so I wrote it down: "Tu m'aimes encore", but I could only find songs of Céline Dion, until now!

It's a song from Carla Bruni, "Quelq'un m'a dit". 
Just listen, it's beautiful! Your body will tingle and the song will rest there for hours. 


Some other songs that can make me cry in an instant:
Feel free to share yours too!

Paul McCartney - This Never Happened Before
When I heared this song on the radio, I was driving my car. I had to pull over, because my mascara hurt my eyes. 


Tom Waits - Martha
This song brings back a lot of memories. 
I have no words for it. It goes right to the heart.


Mumford & Sons - Lover of the Light
There's this part with the banjo that lifts you up. For some reason it makes me think of a cult that worships the sun with their hands in the air, but it works on my cry-mood in a way.

Microsoft Food

I had a meeting at Microsoft headquarters at Schiphol, The Netherlands. 
One word: Impressed!

The interior is quite cozy and modern, but that didn't impress me the most. What did impress me was their lunchroom! They have an even bigger lunch room than my Ctac colleagues in Den Bosch, where you can eat EVERYTHING that comes to mind AND they have a coffee 'corner'. I felt like standing in line at Starbucks. It wasn't as good as Starbucks, though, but it was OK. I took a Frozen Cappuccino with whipped cream and caramel. At lunch I ate wok with noodles, chicken, prawn crackers and a peanut sauce accompanied with a kiwi smoothie. Bad combo, I know, but I wanted it sooo bad!
Jumjum!

Animal TV

We don't have TV at our appartment, so everytime we can claim the TV at one of our parents' house, we stare at it for hours while eating pizza.
I love watching Animal Planet and National Geographic. Big kitties, sea creatures, wildlife... Relaxing!

Birthday Drink

I know, I'm too late today. But I went to a birthday drink with no wifi and no cellphone reach...
But it was fun seeing familiar faces!
