the happy madness

today, the calendar has shown the 21st day of october. 10 days to go to the end. the smell of the rainy season has already wafted in the air... somehow i can scent it. the tiny white flowers at my back yard started to blossom again, several new petals showing up too.

yesterday, i had a wonderful time with a friend, exploring many songs together. jazz tunes.... from old indonesian collection to western songs, jumped into some classic repertoires... back again to popular tunes..., a cup of coffee, balinese cakes, chit-chat, laughing.....in between..... a happy madness ... i would say ... (thank you sis).

when i said a happy madness.. my mind driven back to a song titled 'this happy madness' composed by antonio carlos jobim. the lyric was written by frank sinatra.

that song was re-recorded by stacey kent , in her new album  changing lights , which has just been released in the 16th of September 2013.

look at the following youtube record of the song: 

lyric:

What should I call this happy madness that I feel inside of me
Some kind of wild October gladness that I never thought I'd see
What has become of all my sadness all my endless lonely sighs
Where are my sorrows now

What happened to the frown and is that self contented clown 
Standing grinning in the mirror really me
I'd like to run through Central Park carve your initials in the bark
of every tree I pass for every one to see

I feel that I've gone back to childhood and I'm skipping through the wild wood
So excited that I don't know what to do
What do I care if I'm a juvenile I smile my secret little smile
Because I know the change in me is you

What should I call this happy madness all this unexpected joy
That turned the world into a baby's bouncing toy
The god's are laughing far above One of them gave a little shove
And I fell gaily gladly madly into love


thank you my warrior....
what should i call this happy madness that i feel inside of me
some kind of wild october gladness that I never thought I'd see
what has become of all my sadness all my endless lonely sighs
where are my sorrows now


because i know the change in me is you......
