Lento = Slowly

2004
"Lento"
Julieta Venegas



The song is about the possibility of a relationship.
More importantly the request to take it slowly.

If you want the lyrics in English let me know and I will translate them.

More:
Andar Conmigo = Be With Me
Me Voy = I'll Leave
Algo Esta Cambiando = Something is Changing

Office Love

The Office set to Mika's "Love Today":



The thing I love most about the Office is the Jim and Pam storyline. It is the hopeless romantic inside of me that surfaces when I watch their story unfold. Check out the following videos and you will see what I mean:

the Story of Jim and Pam (Part 1 of 28)

Stop!
Watch All Episodes of The Office.
Proceed.

All this feels strange and untrue... (Set to "Open Your Eyes")
I could write a book... (Set to "Swallowed in the Sea")
All I needed... (Set to "Only You")

Songs from the 90's

The summer before my High School Senior year.
Listening to my best friend's CD player.
Riding in the back of a pick up truck.
Hearing this band for the first time.


Good times and Sad times.
