Life For Child / + Some Thoughts about music and life




I’m glad I can write/share something about Elämä Lapselle 2015 
(or I just made it up shortly ELC) in Helsinki, Hartwall Arena on 16th of Sep. Ihana ilta =)
It was a Lovely night for all at Hartwall Arena, I think. 
 
Music is such an universal language that gathers so diversive types of people to have some fun together for a noble cause such as saving children’s life in general. This is why I appreciate the most the fact that I participated to an annual charity event in Finland. I’m sorry I didn’t buy anything because I’m just an EVS vapaaehtoinen, but after this event I became more empathetic as well as the other people in the concert, so we already had made the world a better place to be for no cost. Also, during the concert I’ve noticed myself to be smiling more often, but still it was a thought-provoking night showing a lot of pain and tears. It slightly more confirmed my decision to work for children’s better health and education.
Another strange thing is that I have been listening to the most famous Finnish pop stars for 3hrs for the first time in my life. I meant, I have been listening to POP music ha-haa! I’m kinda nicely surprised to say that I unconsciously enjoyed it. I like the first performance; Kasmir (that guy w/ the beard. He looks sooo Santa genuinely!) and Sanni, maybe, very sweet girl; and I saw Jussi from The 69 Eyes!!! Yeah, a big deal, big deal ;)




In conclusion, I still quite don’t understand the Finnish lyrics of the songs, but I get the meaning of the event this way: it is about taking care of the children, taking responsibility for healthier society members and showing sympathy and generosity. 
But, Of course the main part is the music! All the songs I heard can make you feel very like dancing, bouncing, jumping, screaming “Isaaaac” / “Liiiip- stiiiiick” la-la-la-laaa – aalaaa…. etc., make you believe life is such a fun, full of happiness and fortune,  and it is always time for a crazy party. It was too happy for me he-he.
 
ELC in one sentence: I am happy when other people are happy and healthy around me.


 I can't translate it to myself literally, but she is so sweet. She is simply showing me that I know I did something meaningful by just being there with the all the kids/youngsters from Janakkala ;)

That would be really great. Loistavaa, loistavaa…
