Heatwave

Day 1 of 20 of albums that influenced my musical tastes. I'll start with Standing on a Beach. I remember listening this CD everyday in my high school years, in my house or in my friend's room, feeding our minds with these dark sounds and some bright musical notes, creating our perfect soundtrack for the teenager.

The album was titled Staring at the Sea in CD format in some countries is the first greatest hits album by the English band the Cure, released in the United States on 15 May 1986 by Elektra Records and in the United Kingdom on 19 May 1986 by Fiction Records, marking a decade since the band's founding in 1976.

We have been experience some extreme weather in this area.

With scorching temperatures above 42 degrees Celsius (108 degrees Fahrenheit) and predicted 45 degrees for the weekend, with the thermic sensation over 50 degrees, the air is so heavy. I remember that in The Stranger ( L'Étranger, lit. 'The Foreigner'), also published in English as The Outsider, a 1942 novel written by French author Albert Camus, the main character, Meursault gets disoriented and on the edge of heatstroke, shoots and kills another character when he flashes his knife at him.

I think it is time for a refreshing lager. and maybe if Meursault had a beer at noon, these tragic event may never happened.

 

The Cure wrote a song based on the book: youtu.be/s6rkOu9Lc5g?si=ymbsg5WgyKwmO2Cq

 

Happy bokeh (and refreshing) Wednesday, everyone!
