Labios Compartidos.

I bought this beautiful song called Labios Compartidos (Shared Lips) by ManĂ¡

Doesn't everything sound richer in a foreign language? La-bi-os com-par-ti-dos ... Say it slowly and it just comes out smoldering.

My iTunes is on fire from all my purchasing, but it is amazing how my verbal understanding is skyrocketing.

Driving home tomorrow.

Wit,

When I worked in a bookstore we had all these CDs of foreign music, stuff from all around the world. It was a special label. Whole albums of junk from Greece, Italy, the Caribbean, Creole tunes from New Orleans...lots of cool stuff.

Listening to foreign music is a big eye opener, and if you can follow the language just enough it can teach you all sorts of interesting stuff about your own language.

Like "labios" which means lips. Funny how its so close to the English "labia".

Oh my...and now the song has a whole new meaning!

I haven't heard this, but I'll check it out.

Hope you're well.
