excitement!

I just realised something. I'm going to America this summer. That means there will be three weeks that I can act like I'm not a Dutch guy. For some reason I blend in perfectly there. Maybe that's because I speak fluent English, only watch American tv, and am overweight (just a few ridiculous generalisations for now). I get to spend time with family members and do all the things I love doing when I'm there, such as having my favorite cereal, watching my skin get nearly as dark as my family's and wrestling my 15 year old cousin to the ground (which is not as pathetic as it sounds, considering he is a well trained athlete with a ridiculous six-pack and I'm a chubby ex-gymnast).

Even though the summer is so far away, I've started listening to the songs that I picked up the last time I was there. They always get me in a good mood, no matter what. That's probably just because I like reminiscing about the good times.

I'm going to post three of those songs below. As usual, you don't have to listen to them if you don't want to. I will say that there's a chance that a larger amount of the audience will like these songs, because these are not the usual hip hop 'hits', but smoothly sung R&B songs.

The first song is 'I'm Cheating' by Dwele. The song isn't only very easy to listen to, but also very easy to sing to. I'm always satisfied with my own voice when I sing along to this song (which isn't really about 'cheating', so do not think it's sad music or anything).



The following song is called 'Never' and it's sung by Jaheim (and his awesomely smooth voice). Even though I don't sound good singing this, I enjoy the hell out of trying, just because I love this song.



The last song is a duet by Anthony David and India Arie, called 'Words'. I like the whole vibe of this song. Generally speaking, I like India Arie better as a singer, but in this particular song I have to favor Anthony's voice, just because it's that much more powerful.



That's it for now. Just in case you haven't noticed by now: Yes, I do post three songs when I haven't written anything in a while and feel that I should at least post 'something'.
