A little time to myself

The best tip I have when it comes to relaxation and quality-time spent with oneself, is to kick back and listen to some old-fashioned jazz.
I’m 23 years old, so I feel a little bit precocious when I preach about Ella Fitzgerald, Louie Armstrong and Frank Sinatra’s greatness. I think this whole love for the jazzy, swingy music comes from the fact that you can’t find it anywhere anymore. The radio will try and shove you full of mass-produced pop, rock music and a few romantic ballads. Fair enough, they play music but you’ll soon find they play it over and over and over and over again. As a matter of fact, they’ll play it until your ears bleed. I used to love Ronan Keating’s song “Life is a rollercoaster” when it was new and out, a little embarrassing but I did. Until one day when I was just sick of it. It had been over-played.
When it comes to jazz you’ll find the progression will be totally different from what you’re used to (unless you’re a jazz-freak like myself ☺ ) It’s often soft and soothing, there’s piano, brass and base. And a singer with a fantastic voice!
I don’t mind appearing old when I crouch up in my armchair with my wine, my magazine and my old jazz music. It’s what helps and you should try it too! ☺
