## My Favorite CD

Films with a deep connection to music are often shown since last year. You better
watch films about music in a cinema hall at high volume, otherwise it’s absolutely
meaningless. NO! Don’t watch them on your cell phone while you’re in bed. This time,
I would like to introduce a film that you should listen to more than watch it.

First of all, let’s start with this moving film. It’s not often that music alone
gives me goosebumps and tears come out naturally, but I found myself shedding tears
in the cinema hall. This voice needs no explanation. It is the unbelievably most
moving in this world and at the same time out of this world. It is such a voice.

In that film, there is a small shot of Mick Jagger, who was probably there to listen,
but, sorry, to be honest, Mick’s presence hardly made an impression in front of 
Areatha’s voice.

The next film that brought tears to my eyes in a different way was “Linda Ronstadt
sound of my voice”. If you ask me if I listen to Linda’s music a lot, she is not
a singer I love that much, but I often listen to “Canciones De Mi Padre” on a sunny
morning. It’s one of my favorite album. I thought I hadn’t heard about her recently,
but it turns out that Parkinson’s disease has made it impossible for her to sing
professionally as she can no longer reach her pitch. She is superb at singing everything
from country to rock and pop, and even opera, and draws people into her songs, she
was a natural born singer, but it is a big tragedy that her singing are taken away
from her. At the end of the film, Linda sang a song with her family, and it completely
broke my tear gland. Still, I really admire Linda for living strongly. I thought
to introduce a song form my favourite “Canciones De Mi Padre”, but this time I chose
this song.

### Linda Ronstadt – Desperado

The other thing I really wish I’d seen live show is this film, which I didn’t realise
they were really playing until David Byrne explained. Well, it’s a really cool performance.
Tight, simple, danceable and deep, the quality of Talking Heads’ songs is still 
exceptional, and I think it’s a real shock that they were doing this in the 70s.
If you missed this film in the cinema hall, you should desperately look for it and
definitely watch it if you get the chance! Watching it at home just doesn’t do justice
to the fun!

### David Byrne – Once in a Lifetime

Next up, a film that will make jazz lovers’ hearts skip a beat. “It Must SCHWING
THE BLUE NOTE STORY”. This is a documentary film about German immigrants Alfred 
Lion and Francis Wolff, who set up the jazz label Blue Note Records and went on 
to create some of the greatest albums in history. Well, cool photo after cool photo
I’d never seen before and anecdote after anecdote I’d never heard before. Thank 
you, Lion and Wolf. You guys are the reason I love music so much. From the glorious
1500s, the hard bop curtain raiser, this first track from my favorite, favorite ”
A Night at Birdland Vol. 1.”

### Art Blakey Quintet – Split Kick

Lastly, ”Belfast”, which I went to see at the cinema to listen to the music, even
though it wasn’t a film about music. Belfast is, for me, the city where Van Morrison
was born. The film was very good. I know there was a conflict in Belfast, but I 
didn’t properly understand that it was a religious or sectarian based conflict. 
The story of a family forced to leave their homeland due to the conflict completely
overlaps with the current situation in Ukraine. This part of the film is a spoiler,
so if you haven’t seen it still, close your eyes and pass this part.

The line, “Catholic or Hindu, if we respect each other, we are family” (I’m remembering
it laconically) struck a chord with me. And I really enjoyed Van Morrison’s songs
at high volume . From one of my favorite album that Mr. Peter Barakan said, “As 
soon as that record comes on, the atmosphere of the space and the people in it changes
instantly”. (It didn’t play in the film.)

### Van Morrison – And It Stoned Me

Finally, as usual, my song. It’s not a song that has anything about films. But when
I posted thsi song to BandLab, Michelle Saint-Georges, who always heartful comments
on me, wrote: She praised the lyrics, “I see the whole picture and can imagine you
going through the day, it’s springtime, the pollen is in the air, you pass through
all the mundane events of the day with your handkerchief and sneezing, all while
thinking about the new crush.” It’s a bit comical, but I think I can put lyrics 
that make images come to mind.

#### Kaneko’s Song of the Day

**I find myself thinking about you**.　　Lyrics: KANEKO Chalin

Waking up, brushing teeth,
boiling water, making coffeebaking bread with strawberryand
sun through treesA woman on TV with no sleeveDon’t forget handkerchiefI find myself,
baby thinking about you

feeling on face little warm windy
humming on the streetsaying hello with Johnnyas
I sneezeat the desk starting PC,one more cup of coffeeI find myself, baby thinking
about you

I think about you like I breathe
I think about you like river to seathe way you 
talkthe way you walkthe way you laughyou can’t see my heart

working hard, talking hard, broken thought
I’m at limitI could get you out of my
head for a bitI can’t get back and think more, my emptiness sitI find myself, baby
thinking about you

I’ll see you soon.
What I’ll talk about?Let’s start with a strong stoutWatch not
to drink too much so you don’t kick me outI may be too old, so romance don’t seem
to start outI find myself, baby thinking about you
