As a very young man, I kept hearing this song “La vie en Rose”, that kept punctuating my Life. I never paid attention to the lyrics. I was first introduced to the song in a Disco, in Montreal with the remake of it by Grace Jones. So being young and a full head of Hair I danced to it. I luckily speak French so I literally understood the words but again, I just hummed along to the tune. It’s a lovely tune and for those who don’t know the song, it lyrically sounds like one would imagine, pink would sound like.
Many years later, again, the song was back into my life. I was sitting in a jazz bar in Puerto Vallarta, and they had a soundtrack playing during the break from the floor show and the La vie en Rose came on. This time, being more mature and more importantly being a man in love, I was listening to it. to what seems like, it was like for the first time. Living life in Pink and what it feels like being in love. How your lover makes you feel, that everything is magical. Living love, seeing everything through pink colored lenses. How awesome!
Here’s an option to actually be surround yourself in pink. From imagination to actual reality. Imagine, being able to walk through a canopy of pink. Walking through Historical Gardens, all in pink. Recreating for yourself, the feeling of being in Love. In love with life, nature and the universal things that connect us to humanity (being alive).
By now, I hope your saying I want to experience that. Where do I , How do I, get this for myself?
