Cher on tour! Again!

The legendary Cher has kicked off her "Dressed To Kill" tour (get tickets). Yes, it's Cher on tour again! She has been on various farewell tours before, we know it, you know it, she knows it. But I guess that when making music and being on stage really is your passion, you won't stop until it's impossible for you to keep going.

The "Dressed To Kill" tour started last Saturday in Phoenix, Arizona, where Cher wore 14 different outside and sang 20 songs, with hits from the past five decades and tracks off her latest album, "Closer To The Truth", which you can purchase here if you live in the US or here, if you live in the UK.

The show starts with a video montage of Cher's career. It could have potentially lasted forever, considering the woman's staying power. The opening song, "Woman's World", which is the lead single off her latest album, saw Cher appear on stage on a high platform, looking like this:


The outfits were always a big part of Cher's career, and some of the most iconic ones made an appearance during the show. Click on the images to enlarge them:





 Here is the full setlist:

01. Woman’s World
02. Strong Enough
03. Dressed To Kill
04. The Beat Goes On
05. I Got You Babe
06. Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves
07. Dark Lady
08. Half-Breed
09. Welcome To Burlesque
10. You Haven’t Seen The Last Of Me
11. Take It Like A Man
12. Walking In Memphis
13. Just Like Jesse James
14. Heart Of Stone
15. The Shoop Shoop Song
16. Bang Bang
17. I Found Someone
18. If I Could Turn Back Time
19. Believe
20. I Hope You Find It

As you can see, most of her hits are there, including the biggest one of her career: "Believe".

At the end of the show, she promised: "I swear to God, this is my farewell tour. I'll be my mother if I do another concert".

We like to think that this is what she really wanted to say:

Rain and music: a spiritual experience

           

It's been raining for days here in Barcelona, and we can't help but have a love/hate relationship with this kind of weather. It makes going out uncomfortable, but most importantly, who on Earth likes umbrellas? Come on now, they were clearly created to ruin a good outfit, and they never seem to be strong enough to battle against gusts of wind. Rain is also the main enemy of a good hair day.

But there's something about this weather that just makes us all warm and fuzzy inside. First of all, the rain and its noise, it's incredibly relaxing, even somewhat inspiring and thought-provoking. Check out this link and tell us if we're wrong.

Activities like reading or listening to music almost turn into spiritual experiences if, while it's raining outside, you're sitting on your sofa, next to your lamp, with a book in your hands and a nice soundtrack playing in the background. The book you're reading seems to be more interesting and the song you're listening to sounds better than usual.

So, if we type 'rain' into our iTunes search bar, 56 songs show up. Here's our top10. We think they're all pretty fantastic songs! Enjoy the Youtube playlist we placed right at the top of this post.

1) Adele - Set Fire To The Rain

2) Eurhythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again

3) Billie Myers - Kiss The Rain

4) Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

5) Madonna - Rain

6) Bruno Mars - It Will Rain

7) Guano Apes - Rain

8) Prince - Purple Rain

9) Cher - Rain Rain

10) Mariah Carey - Through The Rain


Pioggia e musica: un'esperienza spirituale

Sono giorni che piove a Barcellona, e non possiamo negare di avere una relazione di amore e odio con questo clima uggioso. Rende le uscite particolarmente scomode, ma soprattutto, chi, su questo pianeta, ama gli ombrelli? Diciamoci la verità, furono creati per distruggere una buona scelta di abbigliamento, e non sono mai stati capaci di combattere contro gli improvvisi colpi di vento. La pioggia è anche il principale nemico di quelle giornate in cui non odiamo i nostri capelli.

Ma questo tempaccio ha qualcosa che ci riscalda dentro. Innanzitutto, la pioggia, il suo rumore... sono cosi rilassanti, in un certo senso anche stimolanti. Date un'occhiata a questo link e diteci se ci sbagliamo.

Passatempi come leggere o ascoltare musica diventano quasi delle esperienze spirituali quando, mentre fuori piove, si è sul proprio divano, di fianco ad una bajour, con un buon libro tra le mani e bella musica di sottofondo. Il libro che stiamo leggendo sembra più interessante e la canzone che stiamo ascoltando sembra più bella del solito.

Se cerchiamo la parola 'pioggia' ('rain') su iTunes, dalla nostra libreria saltano fuori ben 56 canzoni. Ecco le nostre 10 preferite. Godetevi la playlist da noi creata e situata in cima a questo post.

1) Adele - Set Fire To The Rain

2) Eurhythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again

3) Billie Myers - Kiss The Rain

4) Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

5) Madonna - Rain

6) Bruno Mars - It Will Rain

7) Guano Apes - Rain

8) Prince - Purple Rain

9) Cher - Rain Rain

10) Mariah Carey - Through The Rain


Lluvia y música: una experiencia espiritual

Hace días que llueve aquí en Barcelona y no podemos evitar tener una de esas relaciones de amor/odio con este tipo de tiempo. Hace que salir sea incómodo, y lo más importante, ¿a quién le gusta los paraguas? Vamos a ver, cláramente fueron inventados para arruinar una acertada elección en cuestión de ropa y nunca parecen ser lo suficientemente resistentes para soportar fuertes rachas de viento. La lluvia también es el principal enemigo en uno de esos días en los que te despiertas con el pelo bien en orden.

Pero hay algo en este tiempo que nos hace sentir bien cálidos por dentro. Lo primero de todo es la lluvia y su sonido, es increíblemente relajante, incluso inspirador e incita a pensar. Mirad este enlace y decidnos si estamos equivocados.

Cosas como leer o escuchar música se convierten casi en una experiencia espiritual si, mientras fuera llueve, estás sentado en tu sofá, al lado de la lámpara, con un buen libro en tus manos y una buena banda sonora de fondo. El libro que estás leyendo parece ser más interesante y la canción que estás escuchando suena mejor de lo habitual.

Si buscamos la palabra "rain" en nuestro iTunes nos salen 56 resultados. Aquí está nuestro Top10. ¡Creémos que son todas canciones fantásticas! Disfrutad de la playlist de Youtube que hemos puesto al principio de este post.
