Denny's Forest 10th Anniversary

On March 25th, my blog (original version in Portuguese) completed 10 years of existence. It surely means a lot to me, mainly because the blog means who I was, who I am and who I'm becoming. Denny's Forest is me. My dream is writing and stand for myself the way I can, the way it's possible for me. Thanks for being here writing about my ideas, what I like, with my own words... I could change, get to know new things, I could grow and become someone I'm proud to be. Everything I have in my heart now is gratitude and so much love, happiness for being able to see myself in this blog, I can see how much I've changed and notice how much I'm in contact with myself. Denny's Forest represents all the moments of my life and I'm proud of it. Many beginnings, midways, and endings happened in these 10 years and the blog keeps going on, and it'll keep going while I still have this desire/pleasure of realizing myself in words.

(Original post in Portuguese here).

The English version of the blog happened because of a particular reason: improving my writing skills in English. And, even though, I'm not feeling so good to keep going on this version l (for now), I'll let it be and keep building when it's possible for me. English means a lot to me. I won't give up.

Remembering my first post in Portuguese back in 2011 brings me so many good memories. The process is everything, it's something to be proud of and here I am. I'm the best version of me, the best version I can be of myself. Thank you, my beloved Denny's Forest.

"I wake up, it's a bad dream"

        Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a war. In fact, every day happens something that makes me feel like I'm on the battlefield. I feel like I'm that only one soldier who has to take care of the others who got injured and treat them, at the same time, the soldier who can't stop moving forward because there's no place to run aside from what's in the front, the horizon, the unknown, the uncertain place and future. It's hard. It's terrifying. I wake up, it's a bad dream.

The album "Strangeland" by Keane

     I came back to write about all the things I like on my blog, among these things there is the album Strangeland by Keane. I've started to listen to Keane through this album in later 2012/2013, even if I knew the band since 2005. So, since Strangeland came to my life in 2013, Keane has assumed a very special place in my heart mainly because I feel related to the lyrics and the melodies guided by Tim Rice-Oxley's piano style.

       I wrote about Keane on a previous post and since then I had so much to talk about them, but just now I had time to organize everything and choose what should be on this post. Keane is the only band that I feel so much affection about because of the meaning of their song lyrics, they're related to my feelings, in a very subjective manner. Thus, I decided to write about my dear Strangeland and, of course, write about my dear Keane composed by Tim, Tom, Richard, and Jesse.

The album "Liberman" by Vanessa Carlton

        Liberman is the fifth album of the singer/songwriter Vanessa Carlton released in 2015, four years after the album Rabbits On The Run. The album comes with the artist's new style: indie/folk, then like in the previous one, it has the main use of the instruments (like the guitar) and, of course, the piano still plays an important role in Vanessa's composition and personal style. She was known worldwide since her first and only hit A Thousand Miles released in 2002, though, Vanessa breaks up with the pop style that made her famous. Her discography expresses her evolution and changing through the music, as she said in her official site, a mature process. Then, at first, I'm going to a little recap of Liberman's background, then secondly, talk about the album besides my impressions about it.
