Saw A Samba Band At A Bar

This evening I went for a girls night out with my mom. We went to this place called Eclipse de luna or something like that. They've got live music certain nights and tonight there was a samba band, I forget the name though. They reminded me a lot of the Gypsy Kings (if you haven't heard them, you really should. Look at the bottom of this post for a few links).

One of their songs was in English and was really upbeat. I do this thing sometimes, not completely consciously, where I imagine a music video for a song I am currently listening to. For this one, there was a guy about 25 or so walking down a dirt road surrounded by wheat fields in late spring/early summer, where they are at that point between green and dried out yellow. He's got a knapsack (like army bags) on his back and he's just walking towards something. He's definitely walking towards something, not away.

And another song was a love story. There was a girl in a skirt and she was teasing the guy that's following her. She'd wait for him to catch up and just before he gets to her, she'd twirl off and motion for him to follow her. A quieter part of the song brought it to sunset and she continued the whole thing and it eventually resolved with them rolling around on the ground.

I think about weird things sometimes. On another note, I'm missing Davis and the people there.
