Schallgefluester goes international. Ja, heute gibt’s tatsächlich den ersten Beitrag auf Englisch. Ich finde nämlich, dass gerade so etwas wie dieses Format hier von den exakten Formulierungen der Befragten lebt. Eine Übersetzung würde dies nur zerstören.
Auf Seite #024 verewigt sich nun also die Waliserin Violet Skies und verrät mir unter anderem, was ihr noch besser liegt als das Singen.
My name is…
Violet Skies.
I am…
5 feet 3 inches and a little bit. (~ 1,61 m)
I get out of bed to…
eat breakfast. I cannot function without breakfast.
I am especially good at…
poaching eggs. I’m brilliant at it. Maybe even better than singing.
I am absolutely not able to…
fail. I make a LOT of mistakes and detours from the goal, but failure is not an option.
I would never…
stop writing songs or eating breakfast.
My first CD was…
Spice Girls – Spice World
My first concert was…
Billy Joel, I was in the womb.
I very much enjoy listening to…
Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, James Blake, Strong Asian Mothers, RVRY, Chinah, Emilie Nicholas, YEBBA. And birdsong in the fields behind my house.
My guilty pleasure song is…
I don’t believe in guilty pleasure songs. People should just admit they like songs and enjoy them. And if you enjoy them, don’t be ashamed of them. Where’s the fun in that?
Music means to me…
All things. Eat, sleep, dream in song.
My interests besides music are…
Burritos, travelling to new places every few days, collecting new friends and my family.
Early on I wanted to…
make music. I pretended I didn’t for a while and then I admitted it to myself and took it seriously.
A famous person I was crazy about…
Justin Timberlake. I choreographed an awful dance to Rock Ur Body when I was little.
Just once I would like to…
fly, for real. No plane.
My favourite quote is…
I remember that time you told me you said „Love is touching souls“ Surely you touched mine ‚Cause part of you pours out of me. In these lines from time
Joni Mitchell
Thank you Violet!
