    The theme "Moonshine" reminds me of my early childhood days. During these times, at night, the children in the compound gather together for fun play. We sat down on the bare ground and played different types of games that were apt for that moment.

    I remember playing some games but I don't think they have names. We only know and call them by the songs we sing while playing them. For instance:

    "There's Fire on the Mountain, run run run, a big Big fire", "Willie Willie Willie... Change your style," "After Round One Original panadol extra..." 😅 "Who is in the garden?" and Hide and Seek (Boju boju).

    Aside games we also cracked jokes, told ourselves dry stories and we created fictional characters as well.

    I grew up in Lagos (city), not in the village. So we didn't have the privilege of listening to wise sayings from old men or women. Instead, we were looking for places to watch those Mexican series: Passion, 2nd Chance (Paloma and Diego) and the Gardener's Daughter, among others.

    My childhood was awesome, and I played well!

    El tema "Moonshine" me recuerda a los días de mi primera infancia. En esos momentos, por la noche, los niños del recinto nos reuníamos para jugar de forma divertida. Nos sentábamos en el suelo desnudo y jugábamos a diferentes tipos de juegos que eran aptos para ese momento.

    Recuerdo haber jugado a algunos juegos, pero creo que no tienen nombre. Sólo los conocemos y los llamamos por las canciones que cantamos mientras los jugamos. Por ejemplo:

    "Hay fuego en la montaña, corre, corre, un gran fuego", "Willie Willie Willie... Cambia de estilo", "Después del primer asalto Original panadol extra...". 😅 "¿Quién está en el jardín?" y Escondite (Boju boju).

    Además de los juegos, también contábamos chistes, nos contábamos historias secas y también creábamos personajes de ficción.

    Yo crecí en Lagos (ciudad), no en el pueblo. Así que no teníamos el privilegio de escuchar los sabios dichos de los ancianos. En cambio, buscábamos lugares para ver esas series mexicanas: Pasión, Segunda Oportunidad (Paloma y Diego) y La Hija del Jardinero, entre otras.

    Mi infancia fue increíble, ¡y jugaba bien!

    However, I won't be choosing any song from my childhood days, rather I'll choose the song Talking to the Moon by Bruno Mars.

    Talking to the Moon speaks a lot about a "failed relationship"; one that has left a "hole" in the heart of the singer. He cannot get over his loss and he is drowning in loneliness. He hopes she feels the same way and he tries to communicate this with her through talking to the moon; still with hopes that she reciprocates this.


    While the Moon created a perfect environment for funplay (based on my childhood story), it has become a means of communication for Bruno Mars, and for Ware Wolves, Full Moon is a Festival for them (don't blame me, I watch lots of movies...lol).

    This implies the multiple use and awesomeness of the moon. And referring on its awesomeness one will be necessarily drawn to reflect on its Creator (God).

    Happy Sunday to you all!

    Sin embargo, no voy a elegir ninguna canción de mi infancia, sino la canción Talking to the Moon de Bruno Mars.

    Talking to the Moon habla mucho de una "relación fallida"; una que ha dejado un "agujero" en el corazón del cantante. No puede superar su pérdida y se ahoga en la soledad. Espera que ella sienta lo mismo e intenta comunicárselo a través de Talking to the Moon; siempre con la esperanza de que ella le corresponda.


    Mientras que la Luna creó un ambiente perfecto para el juego de la diversión (basado en mi historia de la infancia), se ha convertido en un medio de comunicación para Bruno Mars, y para Ware Wolves, la Luna Llena es un Festival para ellos (no me culpes, veo muchas películas...lol)..

    Esto implica el uso múltiple y la maravilla de la luna. Y al referirse a su magnificencia uno se verá necesariamente atraído a reflexionar sobre su Creador (Dios).

    ¡Feliz domingo a todos!

    **LYRICS OF TALKING TO THE MOON 🌚 🌙 **


    I know you're somewhere out there
    Somewhere far away
    I want you back, I want you back
    My neighbors think I'm crazy
    But they don't understand
    You're all I had, you're all I had

    At night when the stars light up my room
    I sit by myself

    Talking to the moon
    Tryna get to you
    In hopes you're on the other side talking to me, too
    Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?

    Lyrics from Azlyrics.com
