-an OD of Love-

One of the reasons why I love the summer season in Malta (even if my favourite season remains winter) is that one is spoilt for choice when it comes to going out at night with the various activities that are being organized by the tourism ministry or by individual entertaining troupes. These weekend was one of those particular weeks were I had not to go to some particular activities for the reason that or I was too tired or the tickets were sold out a few days sometimes hours after they open at the booking office. Even if it is not my usual cup of tea to listen to pop music especially when you keep listening to it 24/7 on whatever radio channel you tune to, I had to go to Fosos Square last Thursday to be in what has been described as the event of the year, that is the Isle of MTV.

This little known abroad band, who have four fantastic albums and two EPs under their belt (my favourite being Morning Ale) and have a great follow up in Malta, have a special way to lift the crowds spirit a

This is one of my favourite local bands, Wintermoods. Wintermoods have been churning out amazing stuff for the last two decades and they are an amazing band. Isn't it weird how sometimes you listen to the same song for hundreds of times and you get cought just by the melody and/ or the superb voice of the singer, in this case Ivan's, but today I was sent the link to their video by my friend Alison and somehow I had to look for the lyrics and it is even more weird when sometimes you just think that the song has just been written especially for you because the words just hit the nail and paint a perfect picture of the phase one might be going thru at that particular time... enjoy...
