A glass of wine?

Here we go again!
Now this time I want to show you a song that is nowadays rather known for a movie published not so long ago. It appears in V for Vendetta, a movie that takes place in a mostly dark future in which england has fallen in the hands of a mind-manipulating government, bringing violence to those who defend themselves from propaganda and the police, forming a resistance.
However, the protagonist, simply called V, who constantly wears a Guy-Fawkes-mask, is the public enemy #1 as he terrorizes the government with pure violence. But nevertheless he is a very well educated man who saved tons of then forbidden books and arts.
This is the song which is played a few times in the movie, mostly in his hideout.

Now to the song itself (finally! phew).
It was performed by Julie London in 1957 and was so far her most successful one. It is a very soft and silent piece of jazz that invites to close your eyes, forget and dream a little bit. Although it appears to be a rather sad song, I think it also bears some kind of dignity. It doesn't decay in its own regrets but faces them, rising again and continuing after all.
So, if you'll listen to this song now or anytime else, rest and take some time of peace.

If you like this or don't, please comment!

And it's on!

There it is, the result of an idea which popped out just on my way home.

What is it?
I think of it as a project, to show some, in my humble opinion, golden pieces of music art one shall not miss.

What's so special about these songs?
I try to make this point as simple as possible. Maybe some professional musicists, students of art or scientists can describe music in some way and can put it in patterns that create the illusion of understanding music. But what they can't describe in a 100% perfect way is what music creates inside yourself. It's the feelings they make you feel, the shivering they cause or they simply blow your mind.
After all, all that matters is joy. If you can enjoy music in that unique way it is all worth the while.

Why do I do it?
Because I want to share those songs. Maybe they don't fit your mood exactly, but those who happen to pass by here and who can enjoy the music the way I do (or different, as long as it is good) then everything I wanted to achieve is done.

What is nexus?
In the dictionnary it says, it's "a complicated series of connections between different things" or in latin, it is "the act of binding together".
My goal here is that I collect different kinds of music and i don't want to commit to only one.
So I try to show a variety of songs here and that's where nexus fits and what it has to be.

Well, as this already got longer than intended here's the first song that felt so very strong when I heard it again today. I'll try to say more about the songs I post but I really  have to go ;-)

Here you go, We live no more by Black Label Society.
Enjoy.
