Today's short post should have been written some time ago. I was about to say a few months ago but a quick check at Wikipedia indicates that it should have been done more than 2 years ago, back to January 2006. Jeez, times runs fast.
If you know me (even barely), you must know that I am not, how to say, ultra-athletic. I do my best from time to time but if I'm totally honest, I wouldn't call sport my biggest passion ever (though I like it more than I used to). Anyway, I was actually jogging the other day when I finally found the song. The song. The one which made me forgetting, at least for a tiny bit, that I was sweating and looking like a lobster while looping around the park. This song I had not listened for a long time, though I knew it was among my favorite. It is called In the midnight hour and was sung (and co-written) by Wilson Pickett, one of the best soul singers. Sadly Wilson passed away, hence in 2006. But thanks to both his fantastic song and my iPod I forgot everything, my loops and all that, simply enjoying 2:33 of pure happiness. Lord have mercy.
Enjoy below a live version in Africa in the 70's. Watch carefully at the beginning (23rd sec), even the policeman is completely excited!

Nice !
Moi en ce moment ce qui me fait me lever (parce que la chanson qui me fera faire du yogging n'est pas écrite encore), c'est "(Reach out) I'll be there" des Four Tops. C'est dit.
