La petite fille de la mer. For her, the sea was more than a dream, it was a place she could go to find herself and understand her longing. And when she returned to the town, you could see the sun in her eyes, feel the wind in her hair and hear her soul laughing.

Imagine this: You lie on the beach in the evening. Maybe cozy in a hammock and look out at the wide sea. The sun slowly ends its daily hike over the horizon and enshrouded the waves, which roll relaxedly onto the beach, in an orange shimmer. You feel a warm, salty breeze on your skin. Wanderlust fills your soul and in your thoughts you follow Paul McCartney far out into the winedark sea.
What music do you like to listen to to end a nice day at the beach or the sea?

???? it’s because it’s your idea and it’s a great idea

Summer has already arrived for us. May and June were sometimes very hot and much too dry. Sometimes up to 32 °C (89.6 °F), in the south and east even up to 38 °C (100.4 °F). Pretty hot for Middle Europe. But it’s still very nice if you can sit outside in a t-shirt and shorts for a long time in the evening.

I have discovered my love for daylilies. Not as noble as roses, but each blossom (which blooms only one day) as painted. Wonderful.

In our area the night sky was partly cloudy and it rained often during the last days. Dark cloud fields were passing by, somewhere in the distance there was thunder. Just a normal thunderstorm or are the gravitational fields of Venus, Mars and Jupiter already overlapping? (David has already scared me a bit ????)
I could rather guess the starry sky than really see it. But what did the night sky look like for you? Maybe like this?
PS: Jung, taking off with a tuned V8 Mustang is probably not difficult, but a Lada is used in this video. Probably doesn’t mean anything to you. It was once a Russian car brand. 1.2 liter displacement and an astonishing 60 hp. Making this car fly is true engineering.

Blue Sway / Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney recruited award-winning surf filmmaker Jack McCoy to create a music video for his previously unreleased track “Blue Sway.” Written nearly 20 years ago, McCartney’s never-before released song, “Blue Sway,” is available for the first time on the bonus audio disc of the special edition of McCartney II.
Jack McCoy has been capturing the surfing vision in a truly unique way. Using a high powered underwater jet ski, the filmmaker found that he was able to travel behind a wave, creating underwater images that have never been seen before.
“Paul was pretty stoked with what I’d created. He immediately thought my images might be suitable to go with his unreleased song “Blue Sway.” said McCoy.
McCoy compiled and edited footage that he filmed off Tahiti’s Teahupoo reef to create what became the “Blue Sway” video.
“When I saw Jack McCoy’s underwater surfing footage put to the soundtrack of “Blue Sway” I was blown away,” said McCartney.

By the way: while we are on the subject of stargazing and space travel, only very few people know that besides ESA there is another important European space program that carries out manned space flights: BOSA.

Maybe not music for dreaming, but certainly for smiling:

And another I lie under the stars and dream song:
-
Dance with the waves,
move with the sea.
Let the rhythm of the water
set your soul free

Hi Tom,
when I asked you if you sail you answered:„Actually – i would walk to the dive site if they would let me“. It sounds to me like you’re an avid diver. Diving vacation. Also a nice way to enjoy the distance and switch off from everyday life. Are there any special dive sites that you love?

Thanks for your feedback JP. You are right, the song „Bike“ seems to be a kind of love song. Each verse starts with a new idiosyncratic declaration of love. “The Piper at the gates of dawn” was my first Pink Floyd LP. Admittedly a very quirky album, but I see it as a kind of total work of art. I like it very much until today, even though I rarely listen to it.
David I googled for the song “They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!”. In 1966 it was placed among the top 5 in UK and US. In Germany, the song was able to place only after a German version was produced, “Ich glaab’, die hole mich ab, ha-haaa!” (Hessian dialect). Oh boy…

Thanks for the ranking Tom. I am not surprised that Dutch cities are so often in the top 10. I think the Netherlands is one of the most bike-friendly countries in Europe. But you better ask Fred, he can tell you much more about it. In Germany there are also some nice cities where you can cycle well. In typical student cities like Münster, for example, there are so many bicycles. And here where I live it also works quite well.

Thanks for the link Jung. The skyline of Vancouver is breathtaking. The skyscrapers are located directly on the water and are framed by green hills in the background. Great, that invites you to go cycling and walking. You seem to live in a very beautiful city.
And here are a few cycling impressions from Austria. That reminds me a lot of vacations with my parents (except for the music). Only the Alm, the chairlift and the Wienerschnitzel are missing ????.
