Song of the Day - Benadryl - Sofi Tukker

I lost my sanity with my socks
One at a time, I barely noticed
'Til one day I found they all were gone
I couldn't find them and I couldn't focus

We gotta put this to bed
('Cause I got some things to do
I got some things to do)
We gotta put this to bed
('Cause I got some things to do
I got some things to do)
Oh, how you make me laugh
Benadryl in the bath

Great song!  Enjoy...

Song of the Day - Disturbia - Rihanna

I can't think of a better name for the place we're living in right now.  Happy Wednesday!

Song of the Day - Another One Bites the Dust - Queen

I hope posting this song today isn't crude.  I was just reviewing the coronavirus statistics yesterday with one of my classes and they're just so staggering.  I'm starting to think this is the single biggest tragedy of my lifetime.  Here's Queen...

Song of the Day - Can't Feel My Face - The Weeknd

I really don't think that loss of feeling in one's face is one of the symptoms of COVID19, but I think we're all feeling a little numb at this point.  Here's The Weeknd...

Song of the Day - Rapture - Blondie

This is what it feels like!

Song of the Day - Hurts 2B Human - P!nk, feat. Khalid

Yes it does! 

Song of the Day - Dancing On My Own - Robyn

Do you Tik Tok?  For any of you who don't know what Tik Tok is, it's the hottest social media app today where people post themselves lip syncing to songs and even dialogue.  Of course there is the usual, "Look at how beautiful I am" narcissism, as with any app (waaay too many of those!), but there are plenty of Tik Toks that are fun to watch.  

Just recently, singer Robyn made her own Tik Tok and has now challenged users to show how they've been dancing on their own during the quarantine.  It's called the #onmyown challenge and already there's some great stuff out there, including Robyn's own Tik Toks dancing on her own...

How cool was that!  Here's the original.  Happy Friday!

Song of the Day - Hold On Tight - R3HAB, Conor Maynard

Here is a beautiful pop ballad by two of my favorite artists from across the Pond, and it's got a very good message for all of us.  We got this!

Song of the Day - You Need To Calm Down - Taylor Swift

Today's song is dedicated to all of the morons out there protesting the lockouts across the country.  What's ironic about much of it is they're saying some of the very same things that they're usually against, like "my body, my decision," "medical mandates are unconstitutional."  Really?  Well these medical mandates are there to save lives, so what the hell are they talking about.  I tell you, these people are very cult-like in these latest of bizarre displays.  You all need to calm down because you're going to make even worse for all of us!

Song of the Day - Precious Time - Pat Benatar

Pat Benatar's 1981 tune from her album of the same name is what I feel most during this quarantine.  How much more precious time are we going to have to waste?  Here's Precious Time...

Song of the Day - Sign of the Times - Harry Styles

Just stop your crying

It's a sign of the times

Welcome to the final show

Hope you're wearing your best clothes

You can't bribe the door on your way to the sky

You look pretty good down here

But you ain't really good

If we never learn, we been here before

Why are we always stuck and running from

The bullets?

The bullets

We never learn, we been here before

Why are we always stuck and running from

The bullets?

The bullets

Song of the Day - Take Me to Church - Hozier

Happy Sunday...

Song of the Day - Mercy - Shawn Mendes

Consuming all the air inside my lungs

Ripping all the skin from off my bones

I'm prepared to sacrifice my life

I would gladly do it twice

Please have mercy on me

Take it easy on my heart

Even though you don't mean to hurt me

You keep tearing me apart

Song of the Day - No Sleep - Janet Jackson, J. Cole

Just like in summer when I don't have to work, my sleep schedule is all screwed up these days.  I've been awake at 3 a.m. and sleepy at 10.  I think I need work to have better sleep!  Somehow, though, I don't think that's why Janet is getting no sleep here (wink)...

Song of the Day - Dear Sense - Louis the Child, Max

Louis the Child's Dear Sense is the kind of song that deserves more recognition than it's ever gotten.  Just one listen to this highly funky and infectious song will do the trick!  Oh, and it also fits this time we're living in because there are a lot of people out there who seem to have lost their senses...  

Song of the Day - Blue Monday - New Order

Good morning everyone!  I don't know about the rest of the country, but it is one gloomy, rainy, blustery Monday here in New York, and this is a perfect song for the day...

Song of the Day - Wake Me Up - Avicii, featuring Aloe Blacc

It's Easter Sunday, the first one I've spent not in Europe in several years.  In a normal world, I would be in Madrid today, but instead I am home, alone, with no one but myself to keep me company.  I can't even spend the day with my family...sigh!  I'm so tired of this.  Please, just wake me up wen it's all over...

Song of the Day - No Word - Big Wild

Oh, light the walls on fire, let them burn

We've got a lot to say but we don't need words

Ooh, light the walls on fire, let them burn

We've got a lot to say but we don't need words

No words! Check out this great song...

Song of the Day - Powerless - Nelly Furtado

Cause this life is too short to live it just for you

But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do

So say what you want, say what you want

Here's a great song that many of you may not know, but it's a classic and a good reminder for us that we are not Powerless!

Song of the Day - Prayer For the Dying - Seal

I spend much of my days not paying too much attention to the news, but every once in awhile I'll catch something and I know that right now, in this moment, we are over 10,000 deaths in the United States (12,064 as of this morning) and over 83,000 worldwide.  These are sobering numbers and here in New York, and even Long Island, the numbers are the worst in the country, so I'm finding my self touched by hearing of victims within a degree or two of separation from me and that makes it all the more scary.  So here's an old song by Seal that is very fitting for this day...
